Check out both shows--I just meant the shooting was for JD. Both have promise though.
Vancouver Island, I mean. The wax museum in Victoria is a trip and it is really one of the most beautiful places in the world.
I dunno.. I was just in Gettysburg a few weeks ago and they had the best wax museum I'd ever seen. It was all civil war, of course, but it was pretty amazing.
I've been to Victoria! I loved it. I had tea at the Empress. The first thing I saw when I sat down was a goblet full of raspberries and some kind of special-flavored whipped cream. I said, "I love this place. I'm never leaving this chair. You can't make me."
Victoria was beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. I loved the painted-white mime on the street, cause I thought he was a statue the first three times I passed. We were walking around and part of my group broke off to go see this All!Condom store in a small plaza a few blocks from the harbor, but it was closed. Then the girls I was with (all 17-18[me 18]) were all 'Don't tell them where we were!' meaning the 'adult' chaperones. I'm like 'Huh? It's not like we went to a strip bar. It's a CONDOM store. Like they'll care that much. How old are your guys again?' But they were fussing so I agreed.
Now here comes the real tragedy fo my Victoria... coincidentally, with the same group, but of more people. We're in tourist-central of B.C. There's lots to see or do. And what is the collective vote?
::shrieking idiot girlie Barbie voice:: "Let's go to the mall!"
I was... flabbergasted. I couldn't BELIEVE they wanted to got the the MALL. I'm like, "Guys, GUYS! I like shopping too but it's Canada, not Thailand! Trust me their malls are EXACTLY like ours! Let's do something *new* while we're in the foreign country, hey? Like, something FOREIGN."
...Of course, I was out-voted. I used to scoff at the generalization that lots of girls were shopping-obssessed culturally-ignorant morons. I was so wrong. There actually ARE a substantial amount of teenage girls out there who think shopping is better than exploring a foreign town or seeing world-famous site-seeing stuff. I had the bad luck to travel with more of them than not.
On the plus side, one girl who I thought was that way actually turned out to be not-- but she went with the crowd in the end anyway so I count her as a loss too.
But at least I got to spend three hours at Buschart (sp?) Gardens. Which wasn't enough time-- out-voted there too. ::sigh::
