Field trip: Queen St. W., Koreantown

Even though the weather is getting cold, there were many beautiful sunny days last week that we had to take advantage of.

Queen St. W.
On Tuesday, we walked through Trinity Bellewoods, snacked at a picnic table on the south side of the park, and learned about sound waves and "timber" (property of sound). We walked a few blocks east on Queen Street to listen for the different sounds that were all around us. It was then when "Prickly Caramel", the latest addition to Team Cycling Giants, came into our lives.

Meet "Prickly Caramel"!



We also got to wave hello to Ruben (a Wandering Hamster) through the windows of White Squirrel (coffee shop) and enjoyed story time at Type, the local bookstore. I love those unexpected surprises during outings!

Scavenger hunt 1: find Kimbap.

Scavenger hunt 2: find chocolate snack.

Scavenger hunt 3: find a vegetable that you've never seen before.

Bitter melon!

We paid for shrimp chips and mango candies ourselves and said "hello" in Korean.

Taking public transportation during rush hour is as easy as pie now.
