Hi, I'm Makayla.
I'm Canadian, but I live in Japan.
I'm a video blogger.
I usually make YouTube videos about my daily life here, but this time I'm on a new mission to go back to my country, Canada, and introduce it to both Japan and the world.
For two weeks, I'll be traveling across Canada by train, enjoying tons of new experiences, eating delicious local foods and making new friends.
And I'll be reporting all of my adventures back to you.
Sponsored by the Canadian Tourism Commission and via rail, thin is made in Canada.
Coming from Asia, Vancouver is the most easily accessible Canadian city.
One direct flight from Tokyo will land you here in about eight hours.
It's partially and thanks to this easy access that Vancouver has been able to develop a very multicultural city.
One interesting thing about Greater Vancouver is that it's actually a little bit larger in area than Tokyo, but it only has 1/6 of the population.
So, for example, while this is Vancouver, this same street in Japan might look like this.
Vancouver, a modest metropolitan city with easy access to the great outdoors.
Just a quick drive from Stanley park is capital suspension bridge, a nice little thrill for those afraid of heights.
But aside from that, the nature walks in the area are highly recommended.
Grouse Mountain is also quick.
Stop away many Vancouver.
It's challenged the grouse grind a steep girling hike up the mountain.
But for the less physically inclined like myself, there's a tram also available to reach the top, where you'll find food and in the winter, even a ski.
And with instant access to the mountains and the sea, Vancouver offers a wide selection of fresh and delicious food.
It is this city of Vancouver that is our first stop along a cross country trip.
And since I just happened to be born here, I decided that for my video I'd like to tag along with one of my friends as they go shopping downtown and show you where girls my age like to shop.
Josslyn, how did we meet?
The first time we met was in grade 33 as I recall.
And, uh, Mikayla invited me into the Sailor Moon, which I didn't happened wear right now juice.
After grabbing some juice, Jasmine and I headed down to historic gas town which was Vancouver's original downtown core.
Now it's a popular place for tourists, but also home to a lot of fashion boutiques and select shops.
So then you have a dress like that, and then you have something that you could have this over top.
Oh my gosh.
And you wear it with what?
Anything you want, anything you want, because I absolutely would wear me now you, which is a nice speech.
Nice.
I wish I could have spent a little more time in Vancouver, but it was time to catch the train and head to Jasper.
My first time would be a rail, and I was really excited because I found out that the train would stop for 30 minutes in my hometown.
I haven't seen my parents in a really long time.
It's really nice if I could see them there.
