Pelicans?
After playing too much pokemon flying on Pelipper throughout my breeding journey in Platinum, I immediately recalled the name pelican after an encounter of countless (exaggeration) large white birds on the Bow River at around 8 pm MT.



Using Wikipedia online sources, this particular kind of bird was determined to be the American White Pelican, a pelican species native to freshwater sources in North America. For me this was a new encounter, and a pleasant one indeed. The beauty of these birds floating gracefully on the sunseT riveR would bring joy to all who witness it
...(wth)

So...exams are finally over, and I finally have some time to myself again
Hopefully this blog will be updated in a frequent manner for the next few weeks, until school begins to kill me again....

Either way, here are some pictures from Thursday's Jay Chou concert in Air Canada Centre in Tronto

The concert itself started at 8pm, but we went at 5, thinking that there'd be a large amount of people there already...but as it turned out, we were one of the first people to get there, and essentially had to stand by the gate for a good 2 hours lol but it was worth it at the end, because for some reasons we were allowed to take leftover posters that they didn't hang on the doors, etc home (), and by the time I took one there were only a few copies of the poster left in the pile lol...the poster itself is quite large, and although most of which are sponser info it still offers a large photo of jay's face lmao



the PS2 controller's, again, there to show relative size

The ACC was pretty packed with people, and we got a pretty good view of the audience due to sitting on the balcony



And to my great surprise, Jay's so much hotter live than he looks on pictures, I think...
Although some girl sitting behind me was complaining (?) about his double chin, I actually thought he looks really really good in close-up...especially his facial expression when he's singing , and he randomly (not really) displayed talent in many instruments including the popular guitar, piano, and drums

Okay, maybe I lied about the other one being the last of the series, but extras don't count, right?



题： 【Engrish】 - everything else in that park had perfect English...I have no idea what went wrong here...



题： 【月下之翼】 - Wing Under the Moon....no apparent purpose of picture



题： 【My Fish】 - I was excited to find this thing: it's located in the kindergarten I went to, which was built right before I was old enough for kindergarten...and the fish was there since...somewhere around that time ... There's a picture of a 5-yr-old me on this thing, and another one with a 7-yr-old me rollerskating in front of it and somehow it's still there 15 years later and such = = ... I wonder if it's still safe?

Yup, this is the last part of the series Scenes include: a hot pot restaurant, a large bicycle parking (?) lot in Xidan, a water calligrapher and his spectators, opera actors putting on make up, the opera itself, and a live band playing in a bar in Houhai (a rare top view, as we were seated on the balcony which had transparent floors )

Regardless of whether it's interesting to see...this is probably my favourite of the series



The Catholic church on the top left is one of the biggest I've seen, though it's interesting how it would be found in China (Shandong, out of all places )



I love the old and new contrast between the long corridor in the Temple of Heaven park and the Beijing subway (the 2 pictures on top) and between the palace and er, terminal 3 in the new airport <--(which is so far the most magnificent airport I've seen... I wonder how much money's been put into building it

Anyhow, only one more to go in this series
