Travel Haiku - Granville Island (Vancouver, Canada) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Granville Island summer fun
like birds, the children perch
and chat round the fountains

Granville Island
there again for the
favourite clothes

Granville Island
the boy walks down the road
with a pail on his head

Granville Island
he looks for a set of the same trains
for his best friend

Granville Island in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, is a beehive of bargain goods, fresh food, and endless summer fun. The peninsula of Granville Island sits adjacent to False Creek, an inlet that cuts through downtown and the rest of Vancouver city. Open seven days a week is the two-story Kids Market, where you can find anything from a dress-up store for little girls to handmade wooden trains for the boys. Next, head to the outdoor water fountains—perfect for cooling kids off on warm summer days
