It's been a few years since the "Black Friday Sale" has penetrated Canada.
Originally it was the day of a big sale in the United States, so I used to go shopping from Vancouver across the border to the United States for this sale.
Shopping is fun, but in downtown Vancouver and residential areas, the Christmas atmosphere is gradually emerging ☆
The illuminations of the Capilano Suspension Bridge started this weekend. Next, the illuminations at the Bandhusen Botanical Garden will start on November 26th this weekend ♪
In both cases, advance reservations are required and the number of people is limited.

We held a walking tour of Gastown in Vancouver.

The customer is a family living in Canada.
The Lookout Observatory hasn't reopened yet, so we've set up an alternative location and enjoyed a three-hour walk through the town. It's fun to walk around and enjoy sightseeing from a different perspective than sightseeing by car.
Since I was refraining from going out in Corona, I was delighted that I was able to go sightseeing for the first time in a long time.
