Going Westward....




10 August 2013

From Nelson BC, Canada I took the shortest route to the Pacific Ocean; via Canada West 3 Highway or the Crownest Route.  Along the way I observed some interesting features.

Nature at work- The Hope Landslide

I also had the opportunity to see the site of  Rambo 1  movie was shot at a town called Hope. The wooden bridge where Johnny Rambo was approached by the local sheriff was no longer there. It was replaced with a new concrete one. Where the scene was taken I walked like Rambo. Just fooling myself. Yek!

It was still in the Muslim month of Syawal 1434 and I make a surprise visit to the Malaysia Counsellor in Vancouver. Its kind of celebration and big Malaysian style feast for me.

Vancouver is such a cosmopolitan  city. The Stanley Park is a popular spot to spend your relax time.
