カナダ9日目-ホームステイ8

I woke up on a queen bed.
It was big bed of a homestay.
Half the room is the bed…

Today, I would want to expand my sphere of activity, and I went out at 9 am because I went to a shopingmoal as Metropolis at Metrotown to find souvenirs.
The shopingmoal is located in Metrotown in Burnaby a little far from Vancouver.

I can’t make up my mind if I should use a train or a bus, but the bus was cheaper, so I decided to use it.

As expected A station named Stadium–Chinatown Station is 1 station away from a station of downtown, a city which has the station were located a lot of signboard of shop written in Chinese.
And then, I was really surprised that Chinese language came flying out in the bus.
Probably, Chinese people accounted for 80 percent of the total number of bus users, especially there accounted for a lot of older.

Then, even more surprising than the bus things was a number of asian whose were looked Chinese.
Chinese accounted for almost people in there.
I hadn’t almost seen Asian in Downtown, but it was increasing more seeing than Caucasians and Negros was Asian in the Metrotown.
But, there was a lot more Caucasians and Negroes over time.
That’s how much I felt a lot of asian people in there.

Anyway, the shopping mall was so big, I really thought.
I lost a sense of direction and I was taking same walkway over and over again.

My original purpose wasn’t the shopping mall, but a near Burnaby Public Library.
So, I went to the library.

Since I usually study in library, so it was important whether seats available.
But, as I researched it beforehand, there was no seats available.
Burnaby Public Library has seats overwhelmingly less than a library in Downtown, so I couldn’t sit down.

I didn’t have any other choice, so I was walking around near area, then I saw a shopping mall and I entered in that.
Whatever were there were written all Chinese.
There was China in Canada.

I felt there were a lot of chinese shop from when I was on the way to here at bus, but I didn’t expect there was a perfect china shoping mall.
Even though I expected at least one English word, there was only chinese language.

I was remembered that words of a Taiwanese who was in a class of language school where I was taking free trial lesson.
He has relatives living in Canada and he lived in it for free, When I heard it, I thought he is lucky man at that time.
But, I saw a lot of chinese-like in the shopping mall, I thought it was nothing special to be at least one or two relative in Canada.
That made me think like that.

After that, I was happy at a drugstore I entered by chance, because I find a 500ml of Orange Fanta.
It was about 230 yen.
I made a mistake, it was not 500ml but 473ml.

I decided to eat dinner in Metropolis at Metrotown before I go home, so I was thinking about a food court will be empty after noon, actually When I was going to it at 14 o’clock, there was very crowded.
I had no choice but to leave there, so I ate Udon noodles, Onigiri rice ball and Nigiri sushi at Udon bar on another floor.
At the bar, there is no a button to call a clerk, so I raised a hand and I called over a clerk “Excuse Me!”, but I thought I didn’t need it because a cleak was keeping aware of his surrounding to get a tip from customers.

Those tastes were normal.
The Udon wasn’t al dente.
But, the total was about two times as much as Japan.

When I thought I go home, I was near a station, but I took on a bus to go home.
Because, the bus was first bus, so there were open seats a lot.

When I first came here, I looked up the word on the internet whenever I want to speak in English, but I started thinking that I only need to get a English skill that tell the other person what I want to say.
I wonder it was good sign or not.

But, I’m getting I don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
In that sense, I think it was good.
