I walked into town last Saturday with Heren, my Ethiopian girlfriend. We were in the West End, the neighborhood at the western end of Downtown, just before reaching in Stanley Park on Cardero Street (for those who want to know exactly where that is, we invented google maps to the wise ... lol)
Ca felt a little Mary-Jane in the corner - be say many people smoke here but if the consumption of cannabis (medical purposes) is permitted, the fact remains that the possession and production are illegal, despite everything, it's like in streets around the station of Amsterdam here. Ah ... it sends me back a few years back! I always loved that smell, weird for a non-smoker ... Finally, I told myself: " Well, there's a pot party in the corner "Heren said:" But I bet instead on a skunk "No, seriously, a skunk? I smell a skunk Marie-Jeanne? Ben apparently at the beginning ... Just to say it is in the corner ... And the closer you get, the less you think of the smell of marijuana ...;)
Three seconds later, which is what we see tumble before us? I guessed: Mr Skunk! My first ever, for real, in Canada! Moreover, we see that the tail, it is huge! I was so happy, I wanted to m approach a little to see but Heren pulled my arm in the other direction "Come we are going d'ici, ça va puer d'ici peu "
Alors, pour vous qui n'avez pas l'odeur, voilà au moins l'image ! Bande de veinards ! :p
Last weekend, I walked on Cardero St (Vancouver Downtown) with my Ethiopian friend Hereni when I recognised that common smell to be found in Vancouver's streets ... weed... Humm, someone's having a "party" somewhere I guess... Hereni disagreed. "Celine, I think it's a skunk!" A Skunk, here Downtown?? No way! Yes, there are lots of skunks around here! It makes people crazy! A skunk, are you sure?? I've never seen one yet!! Pepé le Pew where are you?? (not to mention the relation to the French people...Ugh...whatever!) Suddenly, we had the -nice- surprise to see Pepé getting out of his hiding place and running quickly to the next garden. I was so excited - my very first SKUNK!!!!- but Hereni pulled my arm to the opposite sidewalk, begging me to go away "Pleaseeee, let's go or it's gonna stink a lot!"
Luv that country! :p
