Back home from a weekend in Vancouver and Whistler and this is what stuck with me:
1. The BC Coast is really pretty.
2. Train travel is the best kind of travel.
3. Black bears are very cool to watch from the safety of a gondola.
4. My sister loves television.
5. My 80-year old grandpa can hit a golf ball twice as far as I can.
6. Hanging out with negative people is a real drag.
7. Swimming is more fun than I remembered.
8. Skiing is much more difficult than I remembered.
9. I can still understand Japanese.
10. I can still speak Japanese!
And the highlight of the weekend, wise words from a good friend: every day, do something you wouldn’t normally do, just to remind yourself how fun life can be.
