we met Mr. Takizawa, the tour guide for the day, he is living in Kelowna for ahh,,,,about 10years now.
He is doing export wines to Japan, so he well knows about winerys
We went to the Mission Hills estate winery, where I remember last year that I went there with Nanako
The memories just apeared in my mind when I saw the beautiful scenery from the top of the hill, surveying all the vineyards and the lake, the moutains spreading out.
It were good memories
Maybe I should get my albums out of the shed,eh
we went to the other small winerys in west side, Little Straw, and Quail's Gate. in the last, we went to Summerhill winery where was not good because there were tons of Chinese tourist chatting so loud and ,what annoyed me at the most was the boy showing poor piano techniques!!
at the night, I got sooome present from my dad and grandma
the pare of Lacoste's shoes and nice sweater
I really desired for Lacoste's shoes for long long looong time

In the morning, we went to the cafe in the hotel, I ordered bacons and scrumbled eggs and pancakes.
but, what the waitress surved me was just ,no not just, 3 huge pancakes and chunks of scrumbled eggs!!
"I didnt order 3 huge pancakes" I said. then she just tapped my shoulder and its ok ok.
ha! so you mean " dont be angry dear, its ok ok, just a pancakes, eat and go. its ok boy
"
what a,,,,,,,. what I felt was she making fun of Japanese, because Im Japanese, she thought Iwont blame anything.
Maybe I was a bit paranoid. I think so. But,I still dont understand what she had done.
Tapped my shoulder, thats it? smiling at me? what do you mean? can't you speak?
ha,,I wanted to eat bacon that morning,,,,,,
whatever it was a bad hotel. the room was nice though
we walked around the town, did window shopping around Robson St. where is the most popular shopping Street in Vancouver(like Harajuku I will say)
my annoying foot start aching thousands of times
I didnt say anything though?
We went to the Japanese restaurant which Korean manage.
we ordered too much again....I wanted to eat whole of them, because its good hey?

BECAUSE! We saw the killerwhales
they swimming far away from our ship though, I still impressed very much.
I wonder how impressious if I can see them just in front of me,,,,
