it took 20 minutes from richmond.we went to shopping,sightseeing,and eating greek foods. my favourite place is robson street, you can do anything in there.robson street is a major southeast-northwest thoroughfare in downtown.there's many shops and the big one mall pacific centre with over 100 stores like anchor stores include holt renfrew,sport chek and atmosphere

finally sunny! view from Victoria's secret store

the next day in eid fitri, my mom and dad was comming to van!and we went to waterfront areas,harbour center and crossing to lonsdale by took Seabus

from canada place

If you want crossing to lonsdale quay bay you can take a Seabus from waterfront station , the ferries operate between approximately 6 am and 1 am daily during the daytime from monday to saturday.

The other attraction in waterfront areas is canada place they've flyover canada. you can fly by a virtual flight and see all over view in canada.

The next day,early morning we went to Seattle by driving a car,and it took 2.5 hours. for the first time I saw traffic jam haha actually its like jakarta or maybe it was friday.we went to premium outlet seattle, for you girls you won't regret it!!.haha.after that touchdown to downtown and having lunched in a famous Crab Pot .

                                     

Waktu di Seattle sayangnya cuman sebentar jadi setelah makan, keliling public market,terus ke hard rock shop,terus pulang lagi deh ke vancouver. Someday,I'll be back to Seattle again. dan kayaknya butuh nginep agak lama buat ngelilingi seattle.Kalo dilihat Seattle sama vancouver gak terlalu beda jauh yang paling ngebedain sih banyak orang "degleng" atau gembel yang tinggal atau tidur beralaskan kerdus dan berselimut koran di bawah jembatan jembatan.Kasian dan serem juga sih liatnya, dan ga tau kenapa orang degleng disana lebih serem kayak malak mintain duit.haha. Tapi menurut saya selama kita bisa jaga diri dan menghormati mereka, ga bakal diganggu kok.hehe.

Saat-saat yang ditunggu dari liburan ke vancouver yaitu perjalan ke banff- fernie wohooo!!! its like dreams come true,finally I went to Banff national park, selalu ngebayangin atau ngeliat photo-photo di laptop atau google yang selalu nampilin pemandangan indah  the majestic of Rockie Mountain.It took 10 hours from Richmond to Banff, disepanjang jalan SubhanAllah bangeeet, kerasa banget kita manusia cuman sekecil semut diantara ciptaan Tuhan.

makan siang di pinggir hutan

welcome to Banff

Katanya sih suka ada beruang yang lewat, tapi daritadi nungguin ga keluar-keluar si grizzly bear.mungkin belom jodoh..haha. di banff ini kita visit ke lake louise, kalo diliat-liat hampir mirip Ranu kumbolo looh!!,tapi tetep juara lake louise.disamping lake louise ada hotel fairmount bergaya castle france,lucuuu bangeet disitu kita bisa canoe, berenang,sama mancing tapi katanya kalo untuk mancing harus ada license-nya loh  

The breathtaking Lake Louise

                                                  

                                    

Canoeing with my sisters

The famous Moraine Lake!!

                                                

jadi keesokan harinya kita pergi ke Banff Gondola dan ke Moraine Lake huaaah!!! Finally, the breathtaking, and these is a beautiful scnery view that I never seen before.its felt like on dreaming but its real SubhanAllah. SubhanAllah, airnya dingiiiiin banget,terus udaranya disini juga dingin sejuk, ga kerasa abis balik dari canoeing langsung keliatan gosongnya.haha. tapi Puasss!!! intinya banyak banget yang mau diceritain,tapi capek juga ya nulisnya jadi saya buat list-list must've to visit in vancouver dan daerah sekitarnya yah. kalo menurut saya summer is the best time for vacation or maybe you can go when spring time it'll be fun too.

Summer trip part 1

                                                                       holaaaaa ninjas!

      finally I'm back to blog, after a drama routines as a co-ass dentist. its like you on boat and sailing ocean( this is my first year join as co-ass dentist and this's my second round in 6 month).banyak banget yang mau dishare mulai dari mencari pasien sendiri,cari pasien via calo,dll. mungkin kalo ngebahas putaran ke-2 di blog ini rasanya ga bakal ada habisnya.

      

        oiyaaa,Happy Eid Mubarak sisters and brothers. sekarang saya mau ngeshare my first long-tired trip to vancouver!!. jadi sudah lama direncanakannya,pernah saya share pada post terdahulu.jadi ceritanya gini, saya dan keluarga saya berencana silahturahmi sama keluarga yang ada di vancouver. perjalanan dimulai dari, untuk pertama kalinya saya dan adik saya terbang lama dan sendiri(tanpa orang tua) sekitar 16 jam. perjalanan kami dimulai tanggal 22 juli dan saat itu kami sedang puasa.Alhamdulillah sebagai musafir kami tetap menyelesaikan sampai buka/azan magrieb/tenggelamnya matahari. Pertama kalinya saya dan adik saya buka puasa dipesawat dan ngira-ngira waktu magrieb di taipei karna saat itu belum sampe taipei. 

      

       Saat sampai taipei, saya dan adik saya yang belum pernah ke taipei-pun agak panik, Tapi alhamdulillah,petunjuk disana sudah terarah dan gak membingungkan (ga bakal kesasar atau hilang disana) lalu kami pindah terminal ke terminal 2 dengan menggunakan skytrain.Saya dan adik saya menunggu sekitar 2.5 jam karna pesawatnya delayed. sekitar jam 12 malam kami akhirnya terbang juga ke vancouver..Vancouver yeaaay!!.Sesampainya kami di yvr  airport sekitar pukul 8pm waktu sana,kami sudah disambut oleh keluarga saya. Petugas imigran disana juga baik dan ga se-nyebelin diindonesia atau di negara tetangga.Kebetulan saya memkai hijab dan proses ditanyanya juga ga macam-macam,mereka juga ga cultural shock pas tau saya muslim. oiyah,tempat menginap saya ternyata bukan di vancouver downtownnya. saya tinggal di daerah Richmond kira kira kalo dari vancouver downtown 30 menitan. Untuk pertama kalinya saya mengalami jetlag..karna benar-benar ga enak banget selama dipesawat kegiatannya cuman makan,tidur,toilet,tidur,makan,tidur. sepertinya saya bukan orang yang suka menikmati perjalanan jauh.haha.Soooooo Borriiiiiing...haha

      Day 1,tanggal 23 juli untuk pertama kalinya saya berpuasa dengan waktu sekitar 19 jam,dan untungnya cuaca saat saya datang lagi mendung dan gerimis jadi puasa 19 jam itu rasanya untuk pemula....kayak puasa biasa diindonesia.haha.bener-bener sejuk dan dingin jadi gak kerasa laper dan haus.Puasa disana dimulai sahur jam 3 dan subuh sekitar jam 3.30an dan magrieb sekitar jam 9.30an. hari pertama masih dengan istirahat dan didalam rumah.

     Day 2, saya dibawa jalan-jalan keluar sama bude saya buat booking whale watching di daerah steveston sekitar 15 menit dari Richmond. Sesampainya di vancouver whale watch kita harus booking dulu,dan dapet diskon looh for student with price 105cd include tax. Vancouver Whale Watch provides passengers with the adventure of a lifetime through excellent customer service, first class vessels, the highest possible safety standards and added value from an on-the-water education of the west coast eco-system. We emphasize science and conservation while maintaining a fun and professional atmosphere. Trip lenght 3-5 hour,a long the way you can see sea lions,seabirds,sea eagles,and many more and if you  not see a whale you can come again for free until you do – for life, no expiry.(what a wonderful!!!)

     Day 3, with a full schedules we went to chinese market in richmond to bought some food for eidul fitri and my aunt have a open house in her house. after shopping we decided to back home and prepare for whale watching. lucunya disini kami masih puasa dan bude saya bawain bekal takut kalo mau batal.haha. maklum 19 jam itu lamaaaa banget looooh.The 2nd trip starts from 2 pm,dan cuacanya lagi gak mendukung banget nih.totally cloudy! hufft.

Backgroundnya gunung ga tau gunung sebesi atau gunung rakata yah...hehe.pas disini ga dengerin tourguidenya ngomong,udah asyik sendiri jepret sana sini

Katanya traveler lain dia ini lagi ulang tahun terus didorong sama temen-temennya dari atas kapal.byuur... ga serem atau nangis malah girang, yang nonton traveler lainnya juga pengen ikutan nyebur.kebetulan panaaaaaaas banget.

voilaaaaaaaa.......baru 1/2 jam diatas kapal udah gosong

Setelah dari sebuku besar dan kecil lalu dilanjutkan untuk berenang ditengah laut..karna arusnya siang itu agak keras saya memutuskan tidak berenang.so after that finally we went to homestay at sebesi island!!fiuuuh...sekitar jam 11 tiba dan dilanjutkan istirahat dan nanti jam 3sore diteruskan snorkling.

Kehidupan di pulau sebesi agak memprihatinkan maka dari itu travel saya membuat acara baksos buku buku bekas untuk disimpan dan dibaca di perpustakaan sekolah.sekolah disana hanya ada 1.sd-pagi,smp-siang,sma-sore. listrik dan air gak setiap jam ada..
