If you've been following this blog, and remember a week or so ago, I blogged about my Vancouver friends coming over for 2 weeks. I blogged the first week, here's the second week.

What conjured up our whole weekend was basically the anime convention. We also had some fun in Paramount Canada's Wonderland. Let's start off with the convention~

Read the Report HERE

My favourite parts about the convention were the cosplayers the ginormous Dealer's Room, and participating in the anime trivia. I didn't give you any pictures of maids last time, but you get to see some maids today!


The Austin Powers here was what made my day, he was extremely into character, he could have been Mike Meyers himself!




Yup, conventioneers also went to eat here


Right after our convention outing, we went across the street to eat at Jack Astors. I ordered their Pad Thai. The server said it would be spicy, but it wasn't spicy at all :/ - it was delicious though! I think about that Pad Thai all the time~


Boy was that Pad Thai good~


Our day didn't end there! Nope, the whole gang went to the Chinese Lantern Festival. It was very interesting, not only can you enjoy the walk looking at all the extraordinary lamps, but they had side shops where they sold their neat creations. I got to see a very skilled artist make a spiderman figure out of wax, it was quite something o_o.


You see the entrance to the CNE amusement park here







They also had an excellent acrobatics performance, it was just as good as the Cirque de Avaia that I saw in Niagra









And here's the whole Monkey gang!
Yes, I wore my Haruhi outfit around Toronto >.>;


I'm too lazy to type out our outings, so here are some pictures:

lol, we took this picture (right) with a timed shot, and right when it flashed, a little girl walked by it. Fortunately, she didn't cover anyone up.

Well in an atmosphere like that, I'm sure cosplaying as Haruhi was no bother at all. ^^ And the EGL maid outfits look pretty generic style to me, but still...you and your friend look so lovely in them. You look like you could fit in well as a waitress no problem. Do you own it?

That really looks like it was really fun to experience. I suppose things like that happen in city areas around me, but I haven't seen a parade or procession in years I think. Chinese lanterns are pretty in and of themselves, ne? Seems like Canada is more like my kind of country ^^;

Thanks for sharing the shots, Himitsu! (^o^)v

wow, those nighttime photos of the lantern festival came out beautifully! Taking photos at night is hard, especially with a digital camera. Nice work, I'm impressed ^___^
