BC Driving License 卑詩省考車牌百科 香港人攻略










10月尾終於考咗Class 7 成功加拿大一take pass

唯一左轉唔穩定有細Tick同最後講一講

 

見大部份人最困擾都係揸咩牌應該點考法(特別P/過期牌)

所以就足足6張講唔同持牌情況

太多唔同組合 都應該仲有漏 不過有需要再問啦

當然最清楚就自己去ICBC

(其實都唔一定清楚 個個員工唔同答案 肯俾你過就跟佢行冇蝕)

揸車技巧就當然由番教車師傅教

 

P1 – 步驟 [從未持有車牌  香港車牌距2年甚遠]

P2 – 步驟 [香港P(SP)  香港車牌接近2(P牌的OWP或非SP基本上只能當成白紙跟P1(90日內不換牌會作廢)只有P牌的SP有可能完成P2年要求)

P3 – 步驟 [香港車牌2年或以上]

P4 – 步驟 [加拿大車牌(已過期3年或以上)]

P5 – 步驟 [香港車牌2年或以上  加拿大車牌(已過期3年或以上)]

P6 – 步驟 [互惠國車牌2年或以上]

K1 – 筆試資訊

R1 – 路試資訊及更新事宜

R2 – 溫哥華香港人教車師傅 [為免公開個人資料 PM聯絡  加入溫哥華朋友仔]

*SP = Study Permit; OWP = Open Work Permit

 

另外講一講Nanaimo(溫哥華島)考場

我冇考過Vancouver任何場 Nanaimo定係易

1) 易執考期 (正常就一個月 但基本上每日都有後幾日 下星期執)

2車唔多 (最好揀非學生午膳及放學時間) 除非你想塞到夠鐘 都可以

3行幾條大路就入住宅區 完全冇車冇人

4) 考車師傅多數好人兼鬆手 (純粹聽我教車師傅講)

5) ICBC 兩次去都幾乎冇人 即時可以serve

 

有錯請指證 我都係整合港人討論加朋友經驗加ICBC資料

一切以ICBC為準

【南美】阿根廷伊瓜蘇港 陸路去巴西有幾煩 Argentina Puerto Iguazú|Airbnb|Cross Border|Brazil Entry|La Mamma|JL Hotel|4K

 



二部曲探索吓伊瓜蘇港 究竟阿根廷有冇夜繽紛呢

我可以話你知 係有嘅!不過只限首都布宜諾斯艾利斯🤣

伊瓜蘇港除咗國家公園就只得一個景點 雖則都好靚嘅

一次過睇晒民宿酒店 平民美食 中伏餐廳

再講講阿根廷過境巴西嘅方式

 

Night life appears only in Buenos Aires but not Puerto Iguazú.

Apart from the national park, Hito Tres Fronteras seems to be the only sightseeing spot in this city.

Let’s check out the Airbnb and cuisine here, and go through the cross-border procedure to Brazil from Argentina.

Driving on Vancouver Island 溫哥華島自駕遊 Route II Nanaimo-Parksville-PortAlberni



The next day I started off my journey to North Island Wildlife Recovery Center. A car accident on the highway caused traffic jam in the morning, delaying my entire schedule for half an hour.

 

The Recovery Center, as its name suggests, aims to recover wildlife which have been in starving conditions or dangerous situations. I stuck outside the Center for a while before knowing that the entrance was inside the gift shop. The entrance fee (staff called this sort of wildlife protection fund) was 15.00 plus tax on weekday. Passing through the 3D area with endless wildlife information, I found the bald eagle at first sight. The size was huge and it was surprisingly not tied with any string on its legs. I love all owls there, especially the great horned and snowy. Elsa the snowy owl is super cute with its white fur and sleepy eyes. You can learn about their reason of presence from the signs. The stories are touching which you can explore more yourselves. There were also other animals such as ducks, turkey, rabbits, eagles, ravens, turtles, etc., with a small garden. Before I left, the breeder was feeding a young bear with eggs. The bear was determined not suitable to release to the wild, but I bet it looked so happy with the food and environment here. Not being a big fan of zoo, I appreciate the work done here which is much meaningful and respectful.

Nanaimo to Wildlife Recovery Center - 35 minutes.

 

Englishman River Falls Park locates near the Center. Be aware not to confuse with Englishman River Regional Park which is another good hiking trail. I headed down to Lower Falls first. The view was narrow but looked like fantasy. The Upper Falls is actually closer to the car park region, but both are within 5-minute walk. The scene is tremendous as you can see in the picture. I enjoyed much with lack of visitors unlike most big falls.

Wildlife Recovery Center to Englishman River Falls - 10 minutes.

 

The checkpoint before getting to Port Alberni was Cathedral Grove, the forest walkway built on the sides of the highway. Some of the trees here are over 800 years old. You can feel the “green” atmosphere once you step out from the car. Please note the walkway is quite slippery after showers of rain. Drive carefully too on Alberni Highway since it is curvy all along.

Englishman River Falls to Cathedral Grove - 30 minutes.

 

I spent more time than I expected on every spot above, so I arrived at Port Alberni at 1350. Homestead was closed so I bought taco from Porto Taco. The pier was a gem which provided a comfortable and beautiful place for my lunch. The taco costed 8.92 and tasted well, simple time-saving meal.

Cathedral Grove to Port Alberni - 20 minutes.

 

Stamp River Provincial Park was smaller than I expected since I went to the downstream direction only. Only 1 lady with a dog was seen over my 1-hour visit. There was a dam right next to the car park. A few routes can then be further explored within 10 minutes each. No bear nor even fish was seen which was a bit disappointing, but that’s travel.

Port Alberni to Stamp River - 20 minutes.

 

Beachcomber Regional Park was on my return way via Parksville which accounted for the +78km in the cover picture. Indeed, you can simply visit the parks around Parksville before getting to Recovery Center, and settle your night at Port Alberni without heading back. I came for the sunset, but obviously I missed the moment. There were still magnificent colors on the sky and more luckily, I bumped into a deer with its children! They were slightly alerted but not afraid of my presence. After examining they just enjoyed their meal causally. It was wonderful to end the day with this peaceful memory.

Stamp River to Beachcomber - 80 minutes.

 

 

第二日去Nanaimo以北 一起步就俾高速公路嘅交通意外delay咗半粒鐘

結果大概用一個鐘先到North Island Wildlife Recovery Center野生動物恢復中心

 

顧名思義 中心目的就係幫受傷受困有生存困難嘅野生動物 回復生存能力 可以就野放 唔適合就可以留喺到過世

入口喺禮品店入面 平日15 職員話唔係入場票黎 我聽漏咗佢講乜 大概係保育基金之類 入去有個3D動物區 有介紹溫哥華島嘅野生動物 睇完出戶外就會見到隻大禿鷹 神奇地係冇綁住隻腳 唔通冇咗飛行能力?

全場最得意就係啲貓頭鷹 其中Great Horned(大鵰) Great Eared(長耳) Snowy(雪)都好趣致 雪鴞係最特別嘅 因為佢雪白色 又肥嘟嘟咁 啱啱見果陣似乎未完全瞓醒 旁邊啲牌都有寫相關資料同啲動物係咩因由入黎 留番俾大家慢慢睇 成個場仲有啲鴨 火雞     等等 有個花園仔同池仔 臨走見到飼養員喂蛋俾熊食 佢話隻熊有病 已經唔適合野放 咁佢睇落都食得好開心嘅 希望你餘生都享受係度俾人服侍啦 個人都對動物園幾反感 但呢度唔算係動物園 做嘅野都幾有意義 非常尊重

 

Englishman River Falls就有大瀑布 記得唔好撈亂20分鐘車程外嘅Englishman River Regional Park 快步行去下游 個視野有啲窄 不過幾夢幻 行番停車場再去近啲嘅上游 就係圖中嘅大瀑布 兩邊都5分鐘路程就到 冇乜遊客 可以獨享大瀑布

 

Port Alberni公路中間有個區叫Cathedral Grove 西行就係一個圈嘅步行徑 東行就係幾棵800歲嘅大樹 中間可以過馬路 呢段限咗行50km/h 步行徑地面濕滑多青苔 Alberni Highway就九曲十三彎 要注意行車安全

 

每個地點都比預算花得多時間 加上朝早嘅塞車 去到Port Alberni已經接近2

Homestead唔開 就上去Porto Taco買個墨西哥Taco 8.92 幾好味 但依然唔了解點解咁多人鍾意食 碼頭好靚 人流都唔多 可以慢慢嘆午餐同景色

 

Stamp River Provincial Park就淨係夠時間行下游 泊車之後行1分鐘會見到大壩 仲見到隻鷹係度搵魚 然後有幾條分叉路 每條108分鐘有Viewpoint 有條就一直落底 去到圖右下角嘅水平面 記住落幾多就要上番幾多 同埋最好沿原路番停車場 我行咗另一條 結果要兜大圈行馬路

本身諗住碰運氣睇吓熊 但魚都唔多條 LOL

1535走人 揸番一個鐘去Parksville

自駕遊的話就唔需要回頭 直接係Port Alberni過夜

 

1650番到ParksvilleBeachcomber 日落就錯過咗 淨番啲啲餘霞

最驚喜係見到隻鹿BB 之後見到佢阿爸定阿媽 2隻都有望一望我 但警戒唔高 轉頭就專心食草 幾特別 咁近見到野生鹿 算係完滿結束當日行程💛

Driving on Vancouver Island 溫哥華島自駕遊 Route I Nanaimo-Chemainus-LakeCowichan









In mid-Nov, I rented a car for 2 days during study week to explore cities near Nanaimo. It took me a while to get familiar with the 2012 Corolla and driving alone without my driving tutor.

 

My first checkpoint was Chemainus, a cute city known for murals, boutiques and galleries. The most famous place is the Chemainus Theatre, with year-round events, performances and festival. Due to the rain in the morning, I only made a short stay in Chemainus Bakery, best known for its ultimate cinnamon buns. I am not a big fan of sweet buns but it tasted really nice. The street was desolate but the bakery was still busy. Nanaimo to Chemainus - 25-40 minutes, depending on your route.

 

Next, I arrived at Glenora Trails Head Park. This is the beginning of Cowichan Valley Rail Trail, taking 5 hours to walk to Lake Cowichan. My goal was Holt Creek Trestle, 8-minute walking distance from the Park. It is not a common place to get to so by the time I arrived, only a few vehicles were parked and less than 5 people were seen along the trail. This is a nice place to spend with the nature and have a look on the trestle, but if your time is limited, you may skip this spot. Chemainus to Glenora - 30 minutes.

 

Lake Cowichan was my next checkpoint. This was quite a quiet city with limited amount of people and vehicles around. I tried the signature milkshake in JV’s Diner. Their burger and hand-cut fries were awesome too but I strongly recommend any milkshake. You would be amazed! The price was quite expensive though, around $28 after tax with a burger, fries and milkshake. Glenora to Lake Cowichan - 30 minutes.

 

With less than 10 minutes, I got to Spring Beach. The road outside was quite scary. Once you get off the car and walk pass the short trail, you would find the tranquil heaven. But be careful, you cannot step on the private dock.

 

I found Mile 77 Park by accident. Eventually I arrived at Arbutus Park. This was the best mirror reflection from the Lake I have ever seen. Everything with that scene was simply out of the world.

 

十一月中租咗兩日車遊吓Nanaimo附近 其實新牌就唔應該揸咁遠 但租車咁貴每日有200KM冇理由晒咗佢 首先要講一講租車公司話新車 結果俾咗㗎2012Corolla 當堂X咗一聲 後鏡頭用黎泊車都冇呀

 

高速行行吓俾個路牌老點 入咗條50KM/H嘅小路 最後45分鐘先到Chemainus

沿高速就25-30分鐘啦 Chemainus係一個小鎮 以壁畫同畫廊見稱 最出名就係個劇院 都幾靚㗎

朝早落雨 條街都冇人 入咗去Chemainus Bakery 食最多人講嘅肉桂圓麵包 老實講都幾甜 但配咖啡或者茶就應該perfect 麵包舖長期有客 同條空無一人嘅大街相映成趣

 

下一站去Duncan附近嘅Glenora Trails Head Park 大概30分鐘 呢度係去Lake Cowichan郊遊徑嘅起點 但要行5個鐘 同埋你要揸車黎 行到去Cowichan我都唔知點番黎

個公園就冇乜興趣 主要係行8分鐘去睇Holt Creek Trestle 舊鐵軌高架橋 沿途都冇乜人 同平時去嘅郊遊點差唔多多一座木橋有條河咁解

如果時間唔充裕呢個可以唔去 睇相就得

 

出發去Lake Cowichan 都係30分鐘 2點鐘又開始落雨 入去JV’s Diner食嘢 叫完個漢堡包先醒起 我主要係要試奶昔

舖頭入面都好多懷舊機器 裝修都好靚

漢堡包同薯條都對得起個價錢 杯奶昔超正 埋單連稅差唔多$28 嘔血 所以我真係唔鍾意出街食

有時間就可以去Ed's Coffeehouse嘆杯咖啡 我太趕冇買

 

10分鍾車程就到Spring Beach Recreation Site 外面條路有啲恐怖 2架廢車

行入森林2分鐘就會見到圖中仙境 加埋霧以為上天堂

碼頭係私人嘅唔上得去 但睇外圍都好足夠了

搵唔到Price Park 意外去咗Mile 77 Park 都唔錯 仲有條小郊遊徑可以行

最後去到Arbutus Park 應該係我人生見過最靚嘅反射湖面 同埋完全冇人 呢個景大癲 各位可以繼續向西遊Cowichan Lake 租車來回呢度已經超咗極限200KM

Nanaimo BC Volunteer Farmer 卑詩省納奈莫市 務農體驗


 https://dnlmdirectory.com/view_post/8a3f63c9-8bce-4901-b155-d1e3aeb3db1c/HK


最近逢星期五都去咗Nanaimo Foodshare農場做義工👨‍🌾

6號巴士幾分鐘就到 屋企行過去都好快15分鐘

Nanaimo農場都幾多 多數係南邊 但就唔會隨便俾你入

Foodshare就幾Friendly 見到佢有搵義工就打電話去講聲聽朝到 搞掂
顧名思義農場就係
Share Food Food Box賣 有好多Youth Senior Community Program 個網站做得都幾簡潔清晰

時間係星期五10點開始 調理農務到1-2 中間休息食條蕉咁

冇規定你幾時到 幾時走 幾時抖 好自由

農場面積唔算超級大 但一小塊/一小行田都夠你忙㗎啦

 

農場主人同一兩個Helpers就通常要帶住條Youth Team 目測20歲左右

所以唔會點得閒逐樣講 但你問就會解釋得幾詳盡

主要工作就係除雜草 Weeding 一個鏟一對手套就得 加頂帽仲好

帶手套帶手套帶手套 很重要所以講三次

第一次去徒手 結果洗到手爛 指甲黑邊都係清唔晒 潔癖表示接受唔到

另外手套防植物尖刺 防蜜蜂針 都好緊要

咁佢間中都會問我做成點 叫我記得抖下飲水 然後就會問想唔想轉吓Task

其他農務有綁蕃茄(好多兼好重會墜晒係地下) 修剪枝節 收成

綁蕃茄都唔易 十個廿個嘅枝節堆埋一齊都幾頭痕 但疏理完綁好非常有成功感😂

收成就當然最輕鬆最開心

有時做做吓就會講吓品種 開試食大會

本身都冇預有咩回報 唔係點叫義工

但佢每次都堅持送啲嘢俾我 送過美洲南瓜 荷蘭芹

有送蕃茄 不過我見產量未係咁多就留番俾有需要嘅人

對上一次就膽粗粗問佢拎種子 結果俾咗蘿蔔再加生菜種子

依家係花園試種緊 希望十月收成啦

 

識我嘅知我又自私又懶 義工呢味嘢唔存在喺我腦海

要幫Minority應該係政府商家呃錢NGO去做 唔應該平民頭痛醫頭咁幫

當然 上述3Entities多數各有目的 邊會理得你啲星斗市民

義工香港可能做過一兩次咁大把 仲要係為咗AYP儲鐘

咁點解我會去呢

一來搵唔到Part Time

二來廢咗成個暑假 想搵吓野搞

三來有啲Local Experience

講咁多理由 其實都對我冇乜推動力

最尾都係為咗貢獻吓加拿大社會 (雖然學費生活費都已經貢獻好多俾加拿大🤪)

始終PR Policy已經係Free Ride番黎 犧牲得太多人

再係度做廢人都過唔到自己 試吓新野都好嘅

漏咗講 其實我加拿大第二個Offer就係Halifax Agriculture Diploma

可惜太遲先有Offer 呢邊已經俾晒第一學期學費

 

Anyway 有興趣務農都可以聯絡你地區嘅農場 親子去就最適合

 

I have been volunteering at Nanaimo Foodshare every Friday since August.

It is close to downtown with 5-minute bus no.6.

There are plenty of farms in Nanaimo, mostly in the South, but Nanaimo Foodshare is one of the friendliest farms which allow you to participate.

It offers food boxes, youth, senior and community programs to Nanaimo and cities in Vancouver Island. Its website is quite neat too.

Volunteers are welcome from 10 to 2 on Friday. You are free to arrive, leave and rest at any moment above.

 

The owner and helpers often take care of a youth team, so you are on your own at most time. However, they always provide detailed explanation to your questions, and enquire about your working condition.

The main task is weeding with shovel and a pair of gloves, best with a hat too.

The importance of glove cannot be overemphasized due to the hygiene and safety.

The owner usually asks if I would like to switch tasks from weeding. Tying tomatoes, deadheading and harvesting are the most common other tasks. It’s not easy to tie tomato branches but the sense of accomplishment is wonderful after the job. Without doubt harvesting is always the delighting task.

Sometimes they explain the variety of different plants, and offer everyone to taste during work.

Return is not expected from volunteering, but the owner always offers fresh ingredients to me. She gave me zucchini, parsley, (cherry tomatoes), and most importantly seeds for radish and lettuce. I grow them in my yard now, foreseeing outcome in October.

 

Anyway, if you are interested in agriculture or new experience, don’t hesitate to call your nearest farm to participate. Kids would definitely love that too.
