hi I'm Michaela I'm Canadian but I live
in Japan I'm a video blogger I usually
make YouTube videos about my daily life
here but this time I'm on a new mission
to go back to my Country Canada and
introduce it to both Japan and the world
for 2 weeks I'll be traveling across
Canada by train enjoying tons of new
experiences eating delicious Local Foods
and making new friends and I'll be
reporting all of my Adventures back to
you sponsored by the Canadian tourism
Commission and Via Rail this is made in

Canada coming from Asia Vancouver is the
most easily accessible Canadian city one
direct flight from Tokyo will land you
here in about 8 hours it's partially in
thanks to this easy access that
Vancouver has been able to develop as a
very Multicultural
[Music]
City
one interesting thing about Greater
Vancouver is that it's actually a little
bit larger in area than Tokyo but it
only has 1 Sixth of the population so
for example while this is
Vancouver this same street in Japan
might look like
this Vancouver a modest Metropolitan
City with easy access to the Great
Outdoors just a quick drive from Stanley
Park is calano suspension bridge a nice
little thrill for those afraid of
heights but aside from that the nature
walks in the area are highly
[Music]
recommended grous mountain is also a
quick stop away many vancouverites
challenge the Grouse Grind a steep and
geling hike up the mountain but for the
less physically inclined like myself
there's a tram also available to reach
the top where you'll find entertainment
food and in the winter even a
scale and with instant access to both
the mountains and the sea Vancouver
offers a wide selection of fresh and
delicious food it is this city of
Vancouver that is our first stop along a
cross country
trip and since I just happened to be
born here I decided that for my video
I'd like to tag along with one of my
friends as they go shopping downtown and
show you where girls my age like to shop
jasine how did we
meet oh
jeez the first time we met was in grade
three three as I
recall and uh Michaela invited me into
the Sailor Moon club which I no I
didn't didn't happen where we where are
we right now J juice J Go
Juice after grabbing some juice jasine
and I headed down to Historic gas town
which was Vancouver's Original downtown
core now it's a popular place for
tourists but also a home to a lot of
fashion boutiques and SEL
[Music]
shops so then you'd have a dress like
that and then you'd have something like
and you have this over top oh my gosh
and you wear it with what anything you
want to anything you want cuz that's
what lady DOA would do yeah so where are
we now uh we're going to men which is a
nice vate shop
nice
I wish I could have spent a little more
time in Vancouver but it was time to
catch the train and head to Jasper my
first time on VIA Rail and I was really
excited because I found out that the
train would stop for 30 minutes in my
hometown I haven't seen my parents in a
really long time and it would be really
nice if I could see them there
