So I took the Skytrain to Metrotown today... for those of you not familiar with either, here's a brief summary.
The skytrain is not a train in the sky (like the picture I made a few posts below), but more of a computer controlled train that cruises around. The cool thing is that it shows up every minute or so, so you don't have to wait long to get a ride.
I'm assuming that these trains run on something other than a microsoft based product as they don't run slowly and eventually crash.
That took me out to Burnaby where the second largest shopping mall in Canada is... the Metropolis at Metrotown. Picture your regular mall joining copies of itself 3 more times, then stacking that ontop of itself 4 or so times. It took a while to wander around the whole thing but it was pretty neat. You would like this mall if you like to shop... and if you can think of any store you like, well it's probably in here! I was pretty confused on where I was going, wasn't there for any reason other than the weather wasn't so great and needed something to do. The only thing I was really there for was the court of food.
Once I found the food court it became my kind of mall, a mall of food. I came across this place called U-Grill. Not sure why they call it that since U don't grill your food, but U do get to pick what THEY grill. So U get a little tray thing and get to pick from a huge assortment of meats, veggies and noodles. Once U get what U like they weigh the dish and you pay something like 2 bucks per 100g.
So after a drink mine came to a bagillion dollars but it was worth it. While you pay one of the chef guys takes UR plate and grills it up for U. A few minutes later U get to choose from 8, yes you read that right 8 different sauces to put on top. I picked soy sauce (or red cap sauce as we like to call it in our daily work lunch crew) to go on top. After that they throw it on (or scoop it up on) a bed of rice.
After grabbin the plate I took a seat, took this pic and chowed down.
Not knowing what else to do I scrammed from the mall and wandered around the city taking more pics. Eventually made my way into Stanley Park before I had to turn around and get back to meet up with Spencer. So that was about it for today. Stay tuned for another exciting day in the life of me in Vancouver!
