Whale Watching

    In Malaysia, I would say it's almost impossible to see a living whale in front of you, swimming around, playing in a group. But, if you're lucky enough, you probably get the chance to see dying baby whale, which got lost from her mummy and is washed away to the shore. If I'm not mistaken, it happend before. Normally, in this kind of case, the baby whale will end up dead due to hydration. Poor thing!
  However, in Canada, to be more specific, Vancouver, it's totally different. Whale watching is one of the main attractions there especially during summer time. Honestly, after went for a trip, it's worth paying roughly around CAD$ 100 per person and furthermore, it's a guaranteed sighting trip. Means, if you are not able to see the whale, you can come again in the future for free. If you see the whale, it's done and deal. You definitely can come, but with another extra 100 bucks..c",)
  I went for the trip with my beloved gf. I booked the trip by calling the company, no deposit. We paid everything once we arrived at the jetty which located at Richmond. If you dont have your own transport, you can take shuttle to go to the jetty. That's what we did actually. The journey to the jetty took about half an hour and we did enjoy the ride cz the driver was very nice, talkative and funny. He talked a lot about the history of the town and I found pretty interesting.
  Upon arriving, we confirmed our booking and paid the fee trip. Then, we're given special yellow jacket for the trip. Once everybody's ready, we boarded the boat and the new experience begun. It was such a amazing trip for us. We enjoyed the trip so much. Although my camera's batteries ran out of power, I guess it was our lucky day since all the pictures and videos that we took using my cell phone were great quality and there were a lots of whale spotted during our trip.
