Even though I grew up in a very small town in New Brunswick, I was able to develop a fondness for fried rice at quite a young age. Any time I would go out to a Chinese restaurant (pretty well the only ethnic food available in northern New Brunswick outside of North American), I ordered [...]
The Christmas activities in Vancouver are now in full swing, especially with the arrival of the annual Rogers Santa Claus parade this Sunday. Since I have been in Vancouver for several years now, I’m confident I can recommend some pretty decent seasonal attractions that you should check out sometime this month. Following is a list [...]
Thanks to a stroke of luck, I was able to catch a glimpse of this year’s World Naked Bike Ride in Vancouver. I actually had no idea at all that this was going to be happening on Saturday, June 12, and I was just on my way back from getting that complete waste of money [...]
It’s been a windy year in the Metro Vancouver area so far. I recently posted an article on here about a big windstorm we had back at the beginning of April called ” The first windstorm of 2010,” and since then, it seems we have had quite a few more, though not quite as bad [...]
In the early afternoon today, I got a message from a friend of mine, telling me that the TV series Fringe was being filmed on location on Granville Street near Smithe. So I decided to head on over there to check it out. When I got there at around 2:00 pm, I got to see [...]

It seems like just yesterday that I was heading out to try to catch a glimpse of singer Michael Buble carrying the Olympic torch down the street near my apartment. That was the moment I finally started to get really excited about the Olympics. Then the next day, when I was out at a pub with [...]
Last week, I posted an article detailing my trip to the Dockside Restaurant, mainly to try the beer there that is made at their in-house brewery. I had mentioned that I was a bit too full at that time to try what is probably their best beer there: the Jamaican Lager. Well, I decided to [...]
I’m often complaining about things that I see people doing around the city. Whether it be someone throwing his cigarette butt on the sidewalk, or some annoying person trying to open the door for you at a 711 so he can bum some money off you on the way out, there seems to be always something out [...]
