The actual Vancouver’s Day 1 has begun. After a funky sleep I’ve pondered about where to go, what to do, and how to do it. I checked my Twitter, fiddled with Azur Lane, and even checked the weather to see what’s up. At 8-9 am in the morning I ventured to a nearby McDonalds for a meal (didn’t want to cook) to fill me up. I saw how nice the blue skies were, how cool the nearby mountains were. This is the dream. No, really… I know I’m sugarcoating this, I was influenced by living nearby big and small mountains, as such in Modra with the Small Carpathian mountains. It’s always awesome being surrounded by mountains. My morning was calm, confusing, if processing my new surroundings. A random (maybe homeless) person wished me a ‘good morning!’, something I tried saying back to him. Good morning! Came back, rechecked the weather to wonder what I should really be doing… Briefly may have used my Steam Deck to then eventually (frustratingly) decide to just ‘YOLO’ (You only live once) the situation. Might as well just stick through it and do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Disclaimer<\/strong>: If you have issues with my grammar then you try blogging as swiftly as you can while being yelled at by people, told you don’t matter, and having to struggle with embedding Flickr’s pictures into the blog posting. If no pictures show then simply head over to the Flickr side of things, or let me know something is broken..)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Adventure begins in earnest: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m actually venturing around! Holy crap! I’m actually seeing Vancouver (on my friend’s second-hand bike) in some manner, especially with how I loosely planned it pre-traveling. I charted a route, I ventured to Mud Bay Park, even worried how the weather would hold up. I basically tried beating the weather. Rush against time. I already wasted a fair amount of early morning time, especially messaging my friend via Discord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, thank you “Floofy” for gifting me ‘Admiral Dreadnoughts’. Much appreciated!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
