While some of these are Vancouver specific, there\u2019s also a lot of overlap between both cities (the other being here aka Toronto), so I thought this could also be used as a list of weekend activities!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n

\"Airport.\"<\/a>
The airport.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nTechnically, this was not my first time in Vancouver because I was there as an infant, however this is the first time I came back with memories. To set the scene: the weather was mild, and the days were surprisingly sunny except for the first Saturday which was endlessly rainy.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n1. We went to a nature conservatory, and it felt like the tropics!<\/span>\r\n\r\n
\"Parrot.\"<\/a>
This Bird would speak to you!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\"Two<\/a>\"Conservatory.\"<\/a>\r\n\r\n2. My parents are both artists so a staple feature of all our trips is visiting as many art galleries as possible.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/span>\r\n\r\n3. We walked around the UBC campus, checked out the contemporary art gallery there, then headed to the Museum of Anthropology.<\/span>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\r\n\r\n4. My own go-to activity when we travel is shopping, here\u2019s a photo from a store of which I\u2019m hoping will inspire me to reorganize my closet.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n\r\nAnd, this is the best souvenir I have ever found (it is a pin for the bird named Blanca from the conservatory, they make pins of all the birds there!).\r\n\r\n
\"Parrot<\/a>

Before Reading Week I was feeling increasingly overwhelmed by school work, however I always feel like I get a bunch of new ideas (some for my midterm essays!) when I get a change of scenery and experience art and nature. Therefore, here\u2019s a little reminder that if the school season seems to be getting difficult don\u2019t be afraid to take a little break, take a walk in a park or visit some art galleries. Every breath of fresh air counts!\u00a0<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
