vancouver story #1

Yeah, so I told you guys that we went on a walking tour of Vancouver. And yeah, i also told you that it's a great way to get to know the city. BUT, some details may interest a certain section of the audience, so here:

We were walking towards the Main Library at Robson and Hamilton, when this guy on a bicycle asked us, "Hey, you guys looking for the Amsterdam Bar?"
Us: No, actually
Guy: Oh, I'm sorry i thought you guys smoked weed
Me: Well, where is this place, we might check it out some time
Guy: Oh it's right around the corner at Cambie and [something or other]. It's a great place, you can buy joints and seeds there and everything. Here I'll give you some (hands me a small cloth bag of stuff). I sell the seeds there, why don't you drop by some time?
Me: Oh thanks man
At this point, the dude cycles a couple of feet away then suddenly stop and turn back to us
Guy: Hey you guys got any change for a twenty?
Us: Uh, no, we don't have small notes on us
Guy: Well there's an ATM just there (gestures vaguely). Cmon I'll show ya
Me: Uh, no, we're running late we gotta meet someone at the library (which was closed, by the way, it being a Sunday afternoon, not that I knew at the time)
Guy: I tell you what I think I'll have that dope back, I'll give you a joint or something instead when u drop by
Me: Uh, sure (hands back bag of weed)

On hindsight I should've kept it and ran. Oh well. Note it down, all you dopeheads.

AND on top of that we went to the football stadium (BC Place or GM Place, can't rem) just to see stuff. so there's the BC Hall of Fame in there, which we could see for a fee of some sort. The clerk had his back to the door and was busy on his PC so we snuck into the place and had a look around. It was cool, with the exception that we knew none of these Hall of Famers. But, a penny saved is a penny earned, so we earned about 5 bucks right there.
