Now that it’s been three months that I have firmly moved out of my apartment and will not return to it nor would I ever consider buying it, it is now an acceptable time to talk specifically about my little abode that I called home for over six years (February 2005 until September 2011)! On…

Tapas bar hopping in Vancouver’s Chinatown
Cari and I were at the VPD north of Chinatown to pick up/have sent our criminal records to the place we will volunteer. It was a bust because while the station is open until 7, the records office closed at 5:30. I thought I might suggest we go to The Naam or Don Guacamoles, two…
A tale of two vegan meals: Organic Lives and Loving Hut
I went on a little vegetarian bender for 8 consecutive meals before it was smashed to bits by devouring a sukiyaki beef rice burger at the night market on Saturday night. It was fun while it lasted, and I get to blog about two quite unique meals for my repertoire. Organic Lives My friend Cari…

Go to 2009 list > Go to 2011 list >> One of the things I would miss a lot if I left Vancouver is the dining options. My apartment’s proximity to a great eating distict/neighbourhood (after decades of living in the suburbs) makes me think in passing that I live in a cool Asian city where I can walk…
wyn goes a little bonkers for Eagles and Google Maps
I think we have clearly established how I’m finding reasons to create personalized Google maps for anything greater than 2 destinations within a city :D. For the past few weeks, I have been combining that useful app with the latest thing to turn my whimsical head: Eagles in the City, public art/sculpture/painting that can be…
Lucky #4: Vancouver Marathon 2009 Recap
Wayyyyy back in December 15, 2008, faced with an earlier-than-usual early bird deadline, I decided to “get Vancouver Marathon out of the way”. With three marathons down in three consecutive years, I didn’t have to think that I would do one in ’09 and doing one in Vancouver made a host of decisions trivial or…

View Cambie Street Corridor in a larger map It started innocently enough when I wanted to map the grocery stores (green pins) in my neighbourhood, the Cambie Street Corridor (or Cambie Village, if you please) since a big competitor is set to open its doors on April 29.
Mapping It Out
Why did I not play with Google My Maps until now?? I’ve already become dependent on Google products, deeply integrating them into my life: GMail, Google Reader (106 subscriptions), Google Documents (my comprehensive to-do list and documents I share with NPY), Google Calendar (I have 2 calendars for separate activities) and, until recently, I was…
