What is the bucket list you had before? That list you create is crazy, and you want to do this all time, but you don’t have time to do it in that list you make. Some of the lists you make want to do with your best friends or somebody you love together, that sound is so much fun. I have a bucket list too, but I wish I could do it with friends and myself. At the same time, I don’t have too many plans I created before, and it has been a long time since I can’t remember what I started for the bucket list. So, today I want to share some of the bucket lists you can do with friends and yourself in Vancouver.

The third place you can go to is Lyn Canyon on the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This trail crosses the entire North Shore region and passes through Lynn Canyon Park. It is well-naked and provides a variety of rugged and smooth sections for novice to advanced hikers.

This park officially opened to the public in 1912 and has been a popular destination among tourists and residents ever since, and has grown from 12 acres in its early years to 617 acres today.

The beach is home to the longest swimming pool in Canada, the salt-water outdoor Kitsilano pool, operated by the Vancouver Park Board and open annually from May to September. Toward the northern edge of the beach are a playground and several beach volleyball courts. In the Squamish Language, it is called Xwupxpay, which translates to “having red cedar.” In the little history of Kitsilano Beach, in 1901, the beach was begging transformed for future inclusion in a city park system. “The whole approach to the beach will be cleared, graded and seeded, and the beach itself cleared of what rocks and driftwood there is to annoy bathers, and the magnificent property will be made available for the people.

It is summertime already, and you are thinking of going out with your friends to find some activities together, but you don’t know why you should go. This summer, there are some excellent activities and festivals you can go to with your friends and family, and enjoy this fantastic summer. I will show you all active, and the festival is coming up this summer in Vancouver and Canada. Also, I will show you where you can go, what time it starts and end, and what you can do there with your friends or family member; those will be included in each location I show in the list.

The first place you can go is “Night Market,” located at 8351 River RD, Richmond, and is the annual night market founded by entrepreneur Raymond Cheung. It is held during the summer months in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. It runs on weekends and is held near Bridgeport Station on the Canada line next to River Rock Casino Resort. The merchandise sold at the night market is primarily imported from Asia and considered by some to be of a lower price point than traditional retail stores. This “ Night Market” has all different kinds of food, activities and places to play with your friends and family. At the same time, you can try different types of food and snack from other countries and cities in the night market. The food they have in the night market tastes so good, and some of the food they make is fresh, so all the customers eat fresh food that tastes good in the restaurants, for the little history. The Richmond Night Market, founded by entrepreneur Raymond Chenug, was first held in the year 2000 in the parking lot at the Continental Centre in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, where it ran for only a few months during the summer. In that short period, many people came to the weekend market, and tenants at Continental Centre complained to the landlord about its impact on their business, parking availability, and traffic in the Surrooa ways. Each year, they will have a new Restaurant to shop for food, a place to shop and any dink shop you can try. But in early May 2008, the site was subject to suspicious vandalism caused by Lions Communication Inc. To power the night market with emergency generators while electrical repairs estimated at $100,000 were made. The central service pole was cut down, and the fuses and wiring were ripped out. The main service pole was cut down, and the fuses and wiring were ripped out. The RCMP had investigated, and no charges were laid. They are open Monday, Sunday, Friday and Saturday from 7 pm -11 pm, but Friday and Saturday are open from 7 pm- 12 am.

The second place you can go is to see the fireworks—this celebration of Light. One of the city’s signature summer events, the festival lights up the sky over English Bay for three nights at the end of July. Three countries compete each year to surprise Vancouver crowds, choreographing their spectacular displays to music as they’re launched off a floating barge in the bay. Chrysanthemums, peonies and horsetails explode above the city with a mighty crack that bounces off the mountains. At the festival, you can go to the beach with your friends and family, stay on the beach to see the excellent firework and enjoy the beach view, drink beer and play some games together, and have some time with your friends and family.

Along with the fireworks, the Celebration of Light kicks off each evening with an accompanying music festival down at Sunset Beach. Shorefest is Vancouver’s most large free community concert series. Bands start hitting the stages in the early afternoon, getting crowds warmed up for the spectacular main event. These events are on July 22, July 26 and July 29 in 2023, and this firework has different kinds of styles of fireworks you can see, so when you go there in the summer time take a lot of pictures.

Most Famous Sports List In Canada

Canada has different sports and other activities you can and can do. But this time, I want to share some of the sports background and history of each sport in Canada; maybe you are not an expert in sports people, and perhaps you’re a sports person, but you don’t know too much about some history about that sport you watch all the time, or you play all the time. Also, I will share the exciting things in each sport in Canada, so maybe you will feel surprised or learn some of the items in this article.

First, I want to talk about what is the most popular sport in Canada. In the top 10: the first one will be Ice Hockey. In Canada, Ice hockey has six teams currently playing in the NHL: Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Winnipeg. The second sport is Lacrosse, which was declared a national game of Canada in1859 and a summer sport in1994. It is played by thousands of people across Canada. Lacrosse was governed by the Canadian Lacrosse Association, formed in 1925. And the third was soccer. Soccer has gained popularity in Canada over many years; although soccer played in Canada was played under various rules, the central concept of soccer was there. The first soccer game occurred in Toronto in October 1876 between two local clubs. The Canadian Women’s soccer team has succeeded numerous times internationally. The team qualified for the 2012 London Summer Olympics and performed remarkably well throughout the tournament. The fourth sport is Baseball. This sport has been played in Canada since the beginning and is one of the most popular sports in the country.

The oldest baseball park in the world is still in operation in Labatt Park in Ontario. The country has only one Major League, the Toronto Blue Jays. The number five sport is Cricket. Cricket is not sanctioned to participate in test matches; the national team is allowed to join in One-day international Matches. The competitive women’s cricket team and the U-19 have participated in three U-19 World Cup events. The number eight sport is Basketball. This sport is famous in the U.S., but the root of Basketball is firmly embedded in Canada. The modern basketball game was founded by a Canadian, James Naismith, in 1891 while working as a physical education instructor in the U.S. Several players who took part in the first game came from Canada. The number nine sport is Curlin. Curling is a  popular sport in Canada, especially in the Prairie Provinces, with several popular teams based in Alberta and Manitoba. Curling in Canada was always associated with the military and was brought from Scotland. The last sport is Golf. Golf was first played in Scotland in the last half of the 15th century. When the native Scots emigrated to Canada, they took the tennis game with them, better known as the “Royal and Ancient Game.” The first Canadian golf club was founded in November 1873 and was named “Montreal Golf Club.” These ten sport is the most they will play in Canada all the time, and also, people like to watch the game, and sometime they will start the game on weekdays and weekend too. Most people want to watch all the games all-time in the time on T.V. and Live, but some people are experts on the one sport they care about, and they play all the time with a team or training by some people for perfectional in the game they like to watch and play.

In this part, I want to introduce ten famous sports and a list of the history and background of each sport in the ten famous and popular list in Canada. The first one will be hockey. Ice Hockey is a team sport played on ice skates, usually on an ice skating rink with lines and markings specific to the sport. It belongs to a family of sports called hockey. In ice hockey, two opposing teams use ice hockey sticks to control, advance, and shoot a closed. Vulcanized rubber disc called a “puck” into the other team’s goal. Each goal is worth one point. The modem sport of ice hockey was developed in Canada, most notably in Montreal, where the first indoor game was played on March 3, 1875. Some characteristics of that game, such as the length of the ice rink and the use of a puck, have been retained to this day. It cuts across cultural, geographic, and socio-economic lines so that we are all Canadians when we play. We are all Canadians.

The second sport is Lacrosse. First Nations played Lacrosse in Canada before the arrival of European colonists. The first documented description of the game was in 1637. The game was called Baggataway and Tewaarathon, played by two teams with 100 to 1,000 men each on a field that stretched from about 500m long.

The third sport is called soccer. Soccer is the most popular sport in other countries, such as Brazil, Germany, Italy, Argentina, France, and Uruguay. In these countries, people like to watch and play soccer with other countries. From England, the idea of football spread to Europe and across the Atlantic. Two schoolteachers, August Hermann and Konrad Koch, introduced the game to Germany circa 1874. Immigrants brought soccer to the United States. The first football association was formed in England in 1863. Rules were established – but continued to change – and the size and weight of the match-ball standardized. Crucially, carrying the ball with the hands was outlawed: association football (soccer) and Rugby became separate entities. More than 240 million people worldwide play soccer regularly, according to the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The game has evolved from the sport of kicking a rudimentary animal-hide ball around into the World Cup sport it is today.

The fourth is Baseball. A baseball game is one of the four famous sports people like to watch and play in North America and Canada. The game evolved from older bat-and-ball games in England by the mid-18th century. By the late 19th century, Baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. And they are also popular in North America and parts of Central and South America, the Caribbean, and East Asia, particularly in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Those places have famous players renowned for the baseball game each year, month and weekly playing. One Major League Baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays, was founded in 1977. Canada’s first MLB team, the Montreal Expos, formed in 1969 and relocated to Washington, D.C., in 2005.

The fifth is Cricket, introduced to North America via the English colonies as early as the 17th century, and in the 18th century, it arrived in other parts of the globe. It was introduced to the West Indies by colonists and to India by British East India Company mariners.

The sixth one is called Tennis. The game’s origins can be traced to a 12th–13th-century French handball game called jeu de paume (“game of the palm”), derived from a complex indoor racket-and-ball game: real Tennis.

The seven is Rugby. Rugby originated at Rugby School in Warwickshire, England, in 1823 when William Webb Ellis decided to pick up a ball and go with it during a football game. Although there is very little evidence to support this theory, the rugby World Cup Trophy is now named after William Webb Ellis.

The eighth is Basketball. Basketball began in 1891; James Naismith invented it as a less injury-prone sport than football. He was a 31-year-old graduate student who created the sport, keeping players indoors during the winter.

The nine sport is Curling. The first recognized curling clubs were formed in Scotland. During the 19th century, the game was exported wherever Scots settled around the world in cold climates, most notably in Canada, the United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand.

The last sport is Golf. The first ever 18-hole course was constructed at St Andrew’s in 1764, establishing the now-recognized standard for the game. King William IV honoured the club with the title’ Royal & Ancient’ in 1834. With that recognition and its good course, the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews was established as the world’s premier golf club.

These are all the ten most popular sports in Canada I will show you, and which one is your famous sport and which sport are you exper for those sports. I like the baseball one even though I am not a baseball expert, but baseball game has so much fun to do it.

Vancouver has a lot of different kinds of food from other countries and from the cheaper food to the expensive, from the big restaurant to the small restaurant and the food track. Choosing good food to eat in Vancouver is not easy because Vancouver has a lot of restaurants and snacks to choose from, and some restaurants and snacks take a long time to make their food. Now, I want to show the list of some good restaurants in Canada.

The first place is called “Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog” This is a Korean snack shop selling different kinds of favour and sausage meat you can choose from, and the name is called. It is one of the Korean corn dogs, and you can add a different kind of sauce on top of the hot dog you choose; it takes so well, and if you are going to that shop, and “Chung Chun hot dog” they are located in downtown and Burnaby and more from a different location.

The second place is “Wang’s Shanghai Cuisine.” located at 3328 Kingsway #110 in Vancouver. This restaurant has too many kinds of ShangHai’s most famous food, and you can try it cheaply in this restaurant; for example, Xiao Long Bao has soup inside the dumpling, and they cook the soup fresh and put it in the fright make it cold. When they steam that, the soup inside will melt inside, and when you eat it, you need to be careful because the inside of the soup is scorching, and it will burn the tongue. Other than that, they have excellent taste, and you can try to it seafood Xiao Long Bao such as Carb meat with soup inside xiao long bao. It tastes so good, and you can dip it into the Vinegar or without it; that would be so good to eat with the appetizers on a share plate. Also, this restaurant has different kinds of noodles. Those noodles they cook differently have Dan Dan Noodle, Shanghai Hot sauce noodles and Meat stew Noodles soup. In the dim sun part, they have Vegetable Buns, tofu puff with Vermicelli soup and Steamed Sticky Rice Dumplings; also, they have a green Onion pancake, and another kind of Shanghai food is good to try in this restaurant with your friends and you family to try this restaurant.

The other restaurant in Main Stree has one Singaporean & Malaysian cuisine. They have excellent and traditional Singaporean & Malaysian tastes for each food. Some of the food I try is so good when I go to that restaurant; you should try Beef Curry Rice, Laksa and Tufu buff; this three I tried these with my friends, and it was so treated so well, and they cooked all the food traditional for each food in the meum. Even though this restaurant is not too famous and the place is small, the food is so good. When my friends and I went there the first time, the food changed my mind because before, I thought they would taste the same as other Malaysian and Singaporean food in the other restaurant in Vancouver, but not the same as the other Singaporean & Malaysian food, they cooking for each food have more favour than the other Singaporean & Malaysian restaurant in Vancouver. The other thing they serve is self-service, so you need to take the food by yourself, and after you finish the nutrition, you need to clean the table for the next customers. This restaurant is an excellent place to try with friends, family, or yourself. Also, the restaurant is called ” Hawkers Delight Deli.”

We went to an international Korean BBQ restaurant called “Dooboo Tofu Soup & Korean BBQ Restaurant,” which Is only Korean soup, fried chicken, BBQ chicken, cold noodles, and more in this restaurant. This restaurant has a good rice boo called Bibimbap, a classic Korean dish where the rice is served in a hot stone bowl. It comes with seasoned vegetables, marinated beef, egg, seaweed and Kimchi- and you mix all these ingredients in the stone bowl. All the food in this restaurant feels so nice to try, and you can ask friends and family to go to this restaurant to try all the traditional Korean food that restaurants are tastier. Also, they have a seafood pancake made with assorted seafood and green onions; this is perfect for sharing if you come with family or friends. And another side dish called BanChan is in many Korean restaurants. Many Koreans have a plate before the main word comes because this side dish can make people eat a little bit before their food goes and eat in the mean dish.

One of the restaurants, called “Banh Mi Saigon.” is at 5397 Victoia Drive, Vancouver, BC, and is Vietnamese cuisine. This restaurant is a family Vietnamese sandwich shop with long ties to the community. They ensure we provide all the food quality for the customers coming to these restaurants. In baking, they are bread from scratch with our recipe, for our restaurants’ fans know that fresh crunch plays an integral part in what makes it so delicious. All the sandwich they make is large, good for two or three people. Your lunch or dinner. They say they were made from fresh, local ingredients, and all the customers who go to this restaurant can taste the love, care and expert craftsmanship that goes into each sandwich. For this restaurant, I didn’t try it before, but when I saw this on their website, those photos showing all the ingredients it looks so fresh, and the size of the sandwich was so big and looked so good for me to share with my friends to eat this sandwich in the lunchtime. I didn’t see this colossal sandwich before, so if you are interested in going to this restaurant, let me know the taste of the sandwich you try.

The next restaurant I want to share with you is called “Chinatown BBQ.” This restaurant has served Chinese BBQ meats and award-winning beef brisket curry for many years. All chefs were traditionally trained in Chinese cooking styles and techniques for an authentic Chinese BBQ experience. In these restaurants, they have different kinds of the traditional BBQ style. In Chinatown BBQ restaurant they have ten sections with other types. They have signature four treasures chef’s plate on steamed rice, single BBQ meat on steamed rice, specialty limited single BBQ meat on steamed rice, two BBQ meat on steamed rice, per-orders, BBQ meat platters, house signature fried rice, award-winning recipe curry, side dishes, add- ons and other stuff such as drink and desserts. Those sections in this restaurant all sell the same food as traditional Cantonese cuisine. Even though I didn’t have a chance to try this restaurant, I like the Cantonese BBQ style because you can eat it with rice, eat directly and put it in the noodles and another different types. But I preferred eating with the noodle, eating with the rice and adding the fright egg and soy sauce on the top of the rice, and it would taste so good if you eat like that. If you never try to eat like that, you need to try it like this because you may like it and will try again next time at this restaurant.

For all restaurants I shared with you, you can take your friends to try this restaurant in this summertime or with your family, and you can go by yourself and enjoy all the different kinds of styles of food from other countries food because if you stress and unhappy, eating food can make you happy and relaxed because when you were eating food, you enjoy what you are eating. You do not need to think about too many things; it makes you stressed or unhappy.

Transit in Vancouver

Transit in Vancouver is easy to go anywhere you like, and sometimes the bus and the SkyTrain change the location. Transportation in Vancouver, BC, has many features of modem cities worldwide. Unlike many large metropolises, Vancouver has no freeways into or through the downtown area. The West Coast Express, a heavy commuter rail train, serves Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, and Mission. The SeaBus is a passenger-only ferry connecting downtown Vancouver and the City of North Vancouver across Burrard Inlet. The fleet has three ferries owned and operated by the Coast Mountain Bus Company. The newest vessel was put into service in 2024. Cycling is what most people will do in the springtime and summertime, and some people use cycling for sport or transport to go anywhere close by in Vancouver. 

In Vancouver, they some have a park it has bike shares for people who want to use it to go anywhere or using for the activity with friends and family, and bike share is started on July 20, 2016, a bicycle sharing system known as Mobi launched in the City of Vancouver. In September 2018, Uber announced plans to launch its dockless electric bicycle-sharing system, Jump Bikes, in Vancouver. The Bicycle theft on August 24, 2009, the Vancouver Police Department announced a sharp increase in bicycle theft, with the first three weeks of August experiencing a 53 percent increase in thefts over 2008. Constable Jana McGuinness, Vancouver Police spokeswoman, said, “There is no link between the increase in bike thefts and the recent dedicated bike lanes on Burrard Bridge.”

The freeways for the Municipal bylaws and geography have protected Vancouver from urban freeways. The only freeway within city limits is Highway 1, which passes through the City’s eastern edge. All other limited-access routes enter the town before entering Vncouver’s city limits. The lack of freeways in Vancouver is primarily due to the protests of concerned citizens as the City was being developed. During the late 1950s, proposals were made by the City to put a freeway through the heart of Chinatown. The Chinese community joined with non-Chinese supporters to prevent the highway from being implemented, and by 1971, Chinatown was declared a historical area. The only sections built were the Dunsmuir and Georgia viaducts, which became low-speed streets.

Car share is a good way for people who don’t want to use their car to car share is a good way for those who wish to use it. In a better way, they don’t need to pay other extraction fees, and they cover all Insurance for each car share. The most famous car-share companies are Modo and Evo; these two car-share companies the most people use all the time to go anywhere. But in 2020, Car2go left Vancouver after nearly ten years as it restructured and pulled out of the North American market. Zipear left the City after almost 13 years, citing local insurance issues. Also, the good thing about getting the car share is that they have a lot of parking areas for each place inside the City of Vancouver. 

If you are a traveller and want to go to the airport by taking the transit to the airport, you can take the SkyTrain from Richmond to the airport directly, and it is a cheap, easy and cheap way to go to the airport.

Capilano Suspension Bridge: The bridge was built in 1889 by George Grant Mackay. It was initially made of hemp ropes with a deck of cedar planks and was replaced in 1903. In 1910 Edward Mahon purchased the Capilano Suspension Bridge. “Mac” MacEachran purchased the Bridge from Mahon in 1935 and invited local natives to place their totem poles in the park, adding a native theme. In 1945, he sold the bridge to Henri Aubeneau. The bridge was completely rebuilt in 1956 by MacEachran. The Popular culture, the bridge has been featured as a setting in episodes of several television series, including MacGyver, Sliders, The Crow: Stairway to Heaven, and Psych. In 1974, social psychologists Donald Dutton and Arthur Aron conducted a well-known experiment on the bridge. Inside the Capilano Suspension Bridge, another bridge is called “Cliff Walk.”

Cliffwalk: Hovering as high as 30 storeys above the Capilano River Canyon, Cliffwalk is a series of narrow walkways, stairs, and viewing platforms anchored to the sheer cliff face with suspended cantilevers. The Cliffwalk has fun facts about the cliff walk. The first one is built to thrill that the cliff walk can safely support 45 tonnes (100,000 pounds) – equal to the weight of 35 adult orca whales. The second fun fact is Going the Distance, about a cliff walk stretching 213 metres (700 feet) along Capilano Canyon – the length of three and half-ice hockey rinks. The last fun fact is that it is thoughtfully Constructed, non-invasive, and over-engineered; simultaneously, the cliff walk is supported with only 16 anchor points set into the cliff. Thrills on the Edge is named a Canadian Signature Experience. The narrow walkways and greeting floors of Cliffwalk have been generating adrenaline-pumping cliffside journeys since 2011. Not for the faint of heart, a cliff walk reaches out from the granite cliff face above the Capilano River. It’s high and narrow, and in some sessions, open grated walkways separate you from the canyon far below. Follow the path for breathtaking views and unique perspectives on the surrounding landscape and rainforest vegetation.

My high school classmate Katherine is studying at the University of Calgary, and she is studying a “Teacher” programme because she wants to become a Math teacher. In this part, she tells the story of when she goes to Germany, Hamburg. Also, she talked about before, she wanted to go to Japan to do the exchange program, but they cancelled because is covid at that time. 

She told me that when she chooses this program, she will have an excellent opportunity to go to other countries to study, and she can learn some different skills for becoming a teacher. In the future, she wants to teach high school students in Canada or another country.

She talks about which school she will stay in in Hamburg and how to study also has a chance to see how education works in Germany. And she stays in “Hamburg University.” in that school and has a different grade, starting from grade 1- 12 or university.

She talks about street art in Hamburg. She talks about one artist who draws on a wall in that community. They think that artist is disrespectful. Also, she shares the background of that artist. This artist has a lot of experience, but what he did for the other artist he kept against the rule in that community, so in that community, people didn’t like him.

Before, she talked about when she went to the deaf Musume, and she had a chance to do some fun activities.

She told me this was the vacation more than study, and I learned a lot from her story. Still, I want to do an exchange student because I can have an opportunity to study in different countries. I can meet some other students whom other countries and become friends.

Flatter becoming a parent is hard, their other job, but especially becoming a mother. Mother is when we are born the first person to see, and she is all life you can lay on for everything because in their eyes, no matter how old you are, you will always be a child for them.

Becoming a parent is hard, but especially becoming a mother. Every people think about their mother. They can do anything for kids; they can become superheroes because they can proctor they are kids and make everything possible. In this episode, I have a friend, and at the same time, she is my old classmate from when we study at BCIT ISEP for the language class, and she is from Korea. Her name is Jina, and now she become a mother. In this section, she tells me about her giving birth to her baby in Canada because she is the only one of all her friend’s members is giving birth in Canada.

She says when she finds out she is pregnant around two weeks already, she is shocked at the same time because she didn’t know she was pregnant. At the same time, she is not ready for this time to come, so she gets nervous and stressed when she finds out she got pregnant.

Also, she talks about the difference between giving birth in Canada and getting parturition in Korea because she says in Korea, after getting an accouchement, people take care of her, and she can stay in the hospital a little longer. After all, it has a nurse to take care of the baby and the mother too, and the nurse will teach the father and mother how to change the diapers, so both parents can learn how to do it by themself at home.

In this part, she told me she has a hard time doing this because, in Canada, they don’t teach parents to do this, so her husband and herself have a hard time taking care of the baby.

But after she tries her best to take care of the baby and her husband too, she asks her other family member to come to Canada to help her to take care of the baby sometimes because if nobody helps them, they have more stress to take care of the baby by themself.

After all, becoming a parent is not easy because you need to be patient with the kids, spend time with them, and teach them what is good and what is not. I want to thank all the mothers and fathers for always being there when I needed you. We appreciate all you’ve done for me and the sacrifices you’ve made to be a great parent.

Everyone has the experience of going to another country to visit, work, study, and become a resident in that country you want to stay. I have a friend who shares his remarkable story with me, and he tells me how he thought about the culture and his life when he came to Canada. 

Also, he talks about what motivates him to stay in Canada and explains why

he has chosen to remain here in Canada, and he says, “It’s valued, and it’s a rich culture about the difference in one nation.” And he also gives me some examples of what is different in what he comes from and Canada.

And he explains a lot about his experience, where he comes from and what he believes culture means to him. At the same time, he told me when he stayed in the US and where he was from was hugely different from what he thought about in the US.

Ultimately, he tells me how he feels about each country having a different opinion about

culture from the country they lived in.
