Winnipeg to Calgary

I arrived Winnipeg airport where looks very clean and new in the morning. As usual, I ate arrowroot snack and left over coffee from last night. I talked to a guy, born in Japan but grew in US, where he is heading to.


“Mexico” he said,

“Oh…I am going too.” “What is purpose to go there?”

“Spiritual” he said,

I could not understand what kind of purpose like spiritual so I asked again and he replied

This trip is for me but mainly it is for the people.

Still I do not get what he wanted to say it. However, I did not ask again because he must have own reason to travel which I cannot understand. People have their own reasons to travel such as food, culture, study, and Etc…… How about me? Well, what was my purpose to travel? I don’t know but it is not important for me. I just will have some feeling that will be great about this trip. Let me see.

Finally, I arrived on Calgary in the morning. The way to Calgary from Winnipeg, the bus was packed by passenger that I could not have 2seats on my own. Unfortunately, a big woman was seating next me, so I could not even move and sleep at all. In the morning when I arrived to the terminal, every part of my bones and muscle was cracking, I need freshen myself up, so I went to washroom to wash face and brush teeth to make me feel fresh.

(Small city in canada)

Sudbury to Sault ste marie

The bus was stopped by small bus terminal with small restaurant at Sudbury in the early morning. Every passenger had to get out from bus to have a break and stretching their body. I also tried to wake myself up by smoking and to have a breakfast, but the small restaurant had just coffee and small meal that is not worth to pay for it, so I just took a chocolate and allow root snack from my bag for breakfast. After while later, the bus started to leave the terminal head to Sault ste marie.


I arrived Sault ste marie and walked around down town of the city. The city was built around lake side that crystal blue color-lake gave freshen me up. While I was walking on the side walk, an old guy asked me where I am heading to. So I said I am heading to Winnipeg then he gave me an advice that I better seat driver side of bus that I could see better view while I am going to Winnipeg and it was true. I could never be getting bored when I was going to Winnipeg. That is why I like to talk with local people that I could get better information when I travel. Thanks for the old man~!

The bus stopped by white river to have a dinner. Here also everything is expensive so I just ate snack and chocolate. Hum…….Am I losing weight? I really want to scale my weight.

Toronto to Sudbury

I just left from Toronto by grey hound bus. When I got in the terminal already there are many people lined up in front of terminal No. 5. I did not think that many people will take the Bus because it was very late night which is 1 am but there was. I put my baggage in the side trunk of the bus and I hop on the bus to go Banff. When I got in the bus, I started to search where I can sit computably. I found two empty seats at the end of the aisle. I jumped into the seats and set the place for ready to sleep. Unfortunately, it was not good choice. I could not sleep at all because a passenger, who seated behind me, was coughing endlessly.
