Vancouver Day 1: Exploration

Okay so today I went out to the PNE (Pacific National Exhibition) to pick up my uniform and accreditation. I decided to go take the bus all by myself and it's not very intuitive...it took me two tries and 30 minutes to find the bus stop. it was just a slither on a pole that said "bus stop" sideways with the code number, and not which bus passes. They also don't have a parallel stop on the other side going in the other direction so that's kind of misleading.

Point form of what I noticed in Burnaby (just outside Vancouver like Pointe-Claire to Downtown)
- Buses have a ticker display of the name of the next stop, drivers also announce the stop coming up ahead.
- the class of development is sporadic with no pattern. Goes from huge house, to tiny house, to modern house, to shaggy house.
- the shops and strip malls remind me of Pointe-Claire village
- people are EXTREMELY polite, they say Thanks to the bus-driver even if they're getting off in the rear- exits, they yell it out!
- there is no snow, and it was nice and sunny with a high of 14 degrees.

Here are some pics of what I'll look like in my uniform, and some of the free stuff I got
