Took advantage of my UPass & free transportation today and got reaquainted with Vancouver city buses. Noticed all the little differences from bus rides in Japan.

This one guy is going to write a letter to his landlord about the landlord’s respect for his privacy. One girl that these other girls know name throws too much.

Don’t mix apple juice and milk it is not tasty. And so on…
