Surreal moments

It was the most surreal moment last night. I went to the cinema on Granville Street (to see "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which on a side note is an incredible movie, very superbly shot with a backdrop of stunning and cold Sweden) and on my way out back into the balmy night I felt as if I was in a movie myself. I felt as if I was almost floating out onto the busy street which was so unfamiliar to me. I had lost myself in the passion of the film that it was if I had slept walked out. For an instance I did not know where I was! I turned to walk up the street looking a little bewildered I'm sure to the passers by. In a few moments,as if in slow motion, it all came flooding back to me. By the time I had reached the street corner I remembered that I was in Vancouver, my new home for the time being. It is amazing how, when you take yourself out of familiar surroundings, you can feel so utterly disorientated.
