Over the years, I've often had to use the Vancouver public transit system as my primary mode of transportation. In high school it was more out of convenience than anything, but it did help up my social status from total dork to just regular dork, while feeding my dreams and hopes of being Queen B a la Blair Waldorf. While sadly my social status never rose higher than a not so popular Nelly Yuki, I did learn a valuable, and sometimes rare talent, of how to get around Vancouver by bus.
After many driving years, I have gone back to the ways of my youth and find myself once again commuting via public transit. I blame the location of my office - too expensive to drive everyday, but not close enough to walk without having to get up before 8am. I've learned some interesting things in recent years while partaking in the mindless ritual of daily commute on bus or skytrain. The all important 'pushing your way into a skytrain car' will, I'm sure, come in very handy when I finally make it over to Asia. The importance of headphones is another recent lesson learned when a very inebriated Grandpa decided he was in a chatty mood. Needless to say the Grandpa wasn't one to give up quickly and ended up kicking my in the shins to get my attention. Respect your elders!
