Friday date: Granville Island

Hello folks!

Last Friday was another Friday date for baby and I. With the presence of warmer weather in Vancouver, we could stay outdoor longer and hop around more places leisurely. Without hesitation, I picked Granville Island for our afternoon walk.

Compared to other islands, Granville Island is relatively smaller piece of land sitting in the heart of Downtown. Because of its convenient assess from Downtown, there's always a huge crowd in the island during weekends and technically, any sunny weather. Vancouverites know exactly where to head to whenever they see the sun!

I don't like huge crowd and long line ups, so going there on a weekday sounds like a perfect plan for me. It allows me to capture the peaceful side of Granville Island.






One thing that keeps me visiting Granville Island repeatedly has to be the crafty boutique in there!

You get to find many small and cute things here, from ancient seal stamps, postcards to vintage hats! Seriously, I can wander around these small shops for the whole afternoon just because of the fun things I can find here. A lot of the things are also unique, most of the time Granville Island is the only place I can ever see them. That just makes window shopping a fun experience here.


Many shops also have contemporary settings, creating a comfortable shopping atmosphere for customers to wander around.


I skipped the beer tasting this time, tried it with my friends on my last visit here and it was quite a unique experience. There were 8 brewery selections and we picked 6 different brews altogether.  The brews came in 4oz glasses to leave some space in your stomach to try all 6 types.

Each of them had pretty distinct taste and flavour, from bitter to sweet.There was also a tasting map on the table which explained each type and their flavour to help us better understand the beer flavour profiles.

The tasters were quite cheap too, 3 cups of 4oz for $6! :) I would definitely recommend this to anyone who's visiting there!


:) That was another lovely Friday, how I wish every Friday stays awesome like this!

心宽路就宽


喜欢摄影的其中一个原因,是因为喜欢摄取自己想保留的影片,让自己留住当下的心情。摄影对我来说,更多的是保留住一份感觉,让它不随着岁月的流逝而泛黄。别人懂得欣赏自己的作品确实会让我欣慰,但毫无保留维持兴趣,留住自己的眷恋才让我觉得无憾。

透过镜片看着的同一片天空,透过不同的人,不同的手法呈现出万种风情,是摄影的魅力所在。这仿佛就像在提醒自己,同一件事情只要从不同角度去看,就会出现不一样的风景。

心宽,路自然就宽了
