Stayed a month in a guesthouse, 2 bedrooms but pretty narrow and small. It was wonderful to not have any footsteps above me, though. Bit of a walkable desert, there was stuff, but the real cluster (and markets) was 15 minutes away. Things I did...
Took a bus to Simon Fraser University. Campus was not that appealing. But it's on Mount Burnaby, and the green space on a map turned out to be slopes with hiking/biking trails. Wet dirt + walking shoes + slope was not a great combination, but I managed a decent loop.
Wanted to try the other side, but I couldn't reload my transit card easily. Online only accepts cards with Canadian billing addresses. My nearby 7-11 was a retailer... but only selling cards, not reloading them. And I was nowhere near a SkyTrain station. So I changed plans and took Lyft to Maplewoods Flats, a short drive that would have been obnoxious by bus anyway. Nice place of mudflats and trees, and enough grass that I sneezed suspiciously exactly 20 minutes in, and put my mask back on.
A local market did have some hot Chinese foods to go, including oversized siu mai and ha gow, that was neat.
I dunno, not too much else comes to mind, I think work and re-reading Liaden books soaked much of my time.
