Kato, how come you've pasted the pictures of Halifax up there?

Diane, I've noticed that you're from Halifax.

How do you know?

I've received the following message from the Facebook.

I can't read Japanese.

It says that Diane has pasted some pictures and posted her private information. 　So I went to your Facebook page:

This is what your Facebook page looks like on my system. 　I'll enlarge it so that you can see it more clearly.

I see... some passages are translated into Japanese, aren't they?

Yes, they are. 　Look at the red-underlined part, which says you're from Halifax and now living in Vancouver.

Have you been to Halifax, Kato?

Oh yes, I travelled around the city a couple of years ago. 　It is a lovely city.

Yes, you're telling me, Kato.

So, why don't you take a look at the following video clip.

Kato, I used to live over there. 　I know the town inside out.

I know...I know...but I'm pretty sure you're missing something, and this clip reminds you of good old days in Halifax.

You know, Diane, Halifax seems to me a sister city of Vancouver.

Why is that?

...'cause both cities look pretty alike.

Oh...? 　How do they look alike?

First of all, Point Pleasant Park looks like Stanley Park of Vancouver.

Stanley Park & Vancouver Downtown

Yes, you're right, Kato. 　Come to think of it, they really look alike.

The lost lagoon in Stanley Park reminds me of the pond in the Public Garden in Halifax.
