I got back to Vancouver after a 4 year interval. I don't know why, but this city always makes me high. Moreover, the sky was clear this time. I had never arrived in Vancouver under the sunshine, always cloudy or raining for the past 20 years. This time, however, I could view the beautiful scenes of nature through the window. The first picture shows the fjord coastline, along the east side of which I moved up to Squamish. The second is of Lighthouse Park, which pokes into Burrard Inlet. The third one takes the silhouette of a Black Tusk? I don't know exactly, but the shape of the highest mountain in the picture seemed like that of a Black Tusk to me. Whatever, anyway, I could enjoy the magnificent view of the Canadian mountains.
The last picture was shot at the bus depot outside of the Airport. When I came here last time, I was alone. I was restrained by my tight job schedule and my friends had gone ahead 2 days earlier. That's why I was alone here four years ago. At that time, I felt the urgency to urinate. If in Japan, I would have left my possessions around and gone to a restroom. However, I didn't trust the security of my luggage and had to wait for my luggage to be put into the trunk space of the bus. Finally I could rush to a restroom only several minutes before departure.

It's illegal in North America after 911. They make announcements all the time to not leave bags unattended.

Is that illegal? Thank you! I didn't know that.

You could also mention that you are not allowed to leave unattended bags at airports or bus stations.
