Day 12 - The Birthday

I cycled to the Patagonia store in Kitsilano to see if they could repair my jacket. Turns out, they couldn’t :(

But they gave me a store credit for my jacket and I bought a new one to last me the next 10 years. They didn’t have my size in store, so I ordered it online.

They cut up the tag on my old jacket, but let me keep the jacket until my new one arrived.

Here’s the new jacket, a few days later.

I caught up with Tida over the phone, when our timezones aligned between Berlin and Vancouver. It was the first time talking to her since I arrived in Canada. It was great to chat with someone about how I was feeling. She could relate because she went through the same thing in April.

“We’re fly fishing— not casting a net”

Dinner was with my family at a Filipino restaurant. I couldn’t wait to dig into some palabok!

And got a sweet-as greeting from my buddies at the Lab.

Jobin, Liv and Xun!
