回転レストラン

View from the hotel room my parents were staying.
両親が「おのぼりさん遊び」をするのに泊まっていたEmpire Landmark Hotelの最上階にある回転レストランで、仕事に行く前に合流して朝食を食べた。景色はほとんど変わらず、でもみんなで「少しずつ変わっているよ、それに日の差し方も変わってきたし」などといいながら、私は何となく船酔い気味で今日の予定など話して、さて出ようかと思ってもう一度景色をしげしげと眺めたらやはり変わっていない。ウェイトレスに聞いたら、「回転するのは夜だけです」

船酔いは、気のせいで、日の差し方は、単に時間の経過によるものかーーー。

My parents stayed at Empire Landmark Hotel. I called them in a row so many times, as their phone was off and after a while the operator did not even bother to ask which room number. First three times involved that they went up to check, just to find "do not disturb" sign, which means they are by rule not allowed to knock. I assured them that it was fine to knock, as I was the one who put the sign out, so that the housekeeping would not bother them. Then I called back again. Anyhow, that was after the breakfast "with a view." I hooked up with them to have breakfast at the revolving restaurant (one of those touristy stuff that you never get to do if you live in town) and enjoyed the view. The restaurant was revolving very slowly but for sure, for the scenery changed little, but I was feeling a bit like sea-sick. As we left we were informed by the waitress that the restaurant only revolves at dinner time. Hmmmmmm.

My parents enjoyed the False Creek Ferry, from Science World to Vanier Park, Vancouver Museum, and went to the Mars in a simulator at the Space Museum. They sounded like they had a good "touristy" time.
