            The article talks about people who continually want to venture outside of their comfort zone, have a lot of energy, want to explore and take chances. It tells of people who want to make a difference in the world and inspire others. This, if not who I am, is who I aspire to become. I don’t want to just meet people to be able to have references in the future, I legitimately like to learn about people’s lives, it just interests me. I’ve always been a good listener and can get people talking. I have a wide range of interests and can find something they have in common with everyone. I’m a ‘Jack of all trades and master of none’. I’ve always wished I was amazingly talented at one thing but I realize now that maybe my talent is having a wide variety of interests and being able to connect to other people through them.

Illumination Sensations

As a first-timer to Illuminate Yaletown, and a newbie to the whole of the Lower Mainland, I didn’t quite know what to expect. I attended on Saturday, February 11^th. Surfacing from the Yaletown-Roundhouse station, I found myself emerging at Davie and Mainland. The beautiful blue, purple and pink lamps greeted me as I made my way to the street and turned onto Mainland. The first exhibit I came across was the carved ice sculptures. From a poised princess to a cascading pyramid of cubes, they were absolutely a sight to see!

Making my merry way further down Mainland, what was I to happen across but an animated light show! It was being projected on the side of an apartment building in a repetitive sequence about 20 minutes long. The most interesting part was how the windows of the building were incorporated into the animation.

The fire show was great. The troop called Radiant Heat was called in to perform. Daryl Markiewicz, a member of Radiant Heat for 6 months, said it was his favourite performance he has participated in yet! He loved the DJ’s beats and the fact that the show took place in a good, central location, where many people could come and enjoy it.

I wish the event went on longer than just 2 days but I would definitely go again next year. I look forward to learning more about Vancouver’s culture and nightlife, so you’ll be hearing from me soon!
