Weekend of The Khatsahlano Street Party

By Celine -
It's the second weekend of July and we have activities planned out. I like visiting new places, but Vancouver has many events that every weekend feels like a mini-vacation. With that said, below are some of the things we did.

Friday Night at BC Place 

Weekend starts Friday evening. We walked to and from BC Place to watch the Vancouver Whitecaps FC lose to Minnesota FC 3-1. 😐

Despite the results, I enjoyed the view on Cambie Bridge.

Saturday Morning at Costco

Because we had a long night with the heartbreaking lost of the 'Caps, we woke up a bit later than planned and went straight to Costco for early lunch and groceries. Just like the night before, we walked across Cambie Bridge to get to Downton Vancouver.

 We feel more like an adult with our own Costco membership. No more mooching off my parents' card.

Saturday Afternoon at The Khatsahlano Street Party

After running errands, we went home to drop off our groceries and walked to The Khatsahlano Street Party. There are many food booths and vendors as well as beer gardens and live performances on every block. It was such a great time.

I enjoyed my shaved ice and dim sum combo. 🤤

Blessed Sunday Date with Jomar

We started our Sunday with breakfast at Blenz Coffee, then we headed to Sunday Mass.

Afterwards, we went to Royal Seoul House for our Korean BBQ date. We enjoyed grilling, the meat, and even had a bottle of soju. 😁

As if that's not enough, we walked across the street and had Japanese soufflé pancakes.

To end the weekend, I had to do household chores because we're domesticated. 😂

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's...

Vancouver Christmas Market experience and review

Jomar and I have been planning to go here last year and even the year before, but somehow we never have gotten around to it. Today, after the Pokemon GO Community Day, we went to Jack Poole Plaza where the Vancouver Christmas Market is located. Then, it started raining. Merry Christmas! Nope, I'm not going to be drenched in the rain and endure the cold to be here. This rain is not in the forecast so it was completely unexpected. We decided to let the dark clouds pass inside the Starbucks at Shaw building across the street. After an hour, it stopped raining. Thank God! We lined up again and entered. It was still before sunset so it's bright. We took pictures around and feasted on the many great foods! I wish we could eat more but at some point, you just know that you're full.
