My friend Stephen invited me out to get Taiwanese pancakes randomly one day, so I thought, why not. He picked me up and we headed to Whyte ave to where this restaurant called Gara apparently was. (recommended by his friend Ian) We had to go down this back alley and into this weird store that had all sorts of random things. A rack of jewelry, 5 dresses for sale, fish chips, random Asain snacks, a lounge area, and at the very back was a house kitchen. We ordered our pancakes from the menu that was written in a different language and only had the titles of the foods like "golden metal" (how am I supposed to know what that means?). They came out as a little cake that was almost like two crumpets squished together with ... read more

Preet came over after I was done work, and we were feeling like being adventures so went out to have some Whyte Ave fun. We started at Hudson's and met her old best friend Nick and his fiancé for her birthday! We ventured down the street to the red square, completely different from Hudson's! I met alot of Preets old friends and relatives that hang out there once and while. Nick promised us that before I leave he will take us on a motorcycle ride (he races professionally)! I am so excited :) We ended the night eating the famous Alberta donairs.... read more

I took the bus (after missing it twice) and found my way to 118th Ave for the Kaleido festival! I didn't even know it was going on to be honest and kinda stumbled upon it. My new friend, Reece, had invited me to watch his band, Bardic Form, preform at the Carrot Cafe, and just so happens the festival was going on, on that street! I got so lost at the bus station that ended up riding for 3 hours, getting caught up downtown, and having some guy ask "how many boyfriends ya got". But I finally found it, only catching the last song, but still heard the great tune! After Reece had packed up, we walked down the festival and saw so many cool venders and street performers. He introduced me to this funky hippy ... read more

Even though I got the job at Plow and Harvest, I still wanted to experience what it's like to be a vacuum installer for a day! I got my grubby clothes on and hopped into the work truck and off we went! Unfortunately this wasn't a huge install, only a service call. The house we went to was huge. Their fridge was the size of two fridges combined! After Chris fiddled around with the central vac and found and solved the issues, we were off! The rest of the day we relaxed and watched the "Green Mile" before bed. I definitely like the hands on jobs more than a office job. I've been thinking alot about egging through with being a wild animal vet. It would be alot of work but hey, if you love it, ... read more

Sonny picked me up around 11 this morning to take me downtown and show me around. First off we went to a cool refurbished basement that is now a hair salon! After Sonny got his hair cut we ventured onto Manulife centre which is where a lot of successful businesses are, including Henry Singer and Holt Renfrew. Coincidentally they are across the hall from each other and sonny works in the men's and his girlfriend Leanne in Holts. I met one of Sonny's coworkers, Robbie, who was very delightful and welcoming! We then walked around downtown, seeing what there is to see, and what a sight! "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" was going on and raised over $90,000! I bet there were over 100 men running around a track in girls high heels, and strutting ... read more
