A Couple Hours in Jericho Beach

By Celine -

I grew up in Metro Manila, and one of the things I was apparently missing (which I only realized when I moved to Vancouver) is the lack of green spaces.

Many people want to travel primarily to take a break from routine. But somehow, I don't feel as deprived of travelling as some friends because every weekend feels like a mini-vacation.

Today, Jomar and I walked more than 5 kilometres from our home near South Granville to Jericho Beach on the west side of Vancouver. There's a nearby park, and it was so quiet. Of course, there is laughter from family and friends who are picnicking nearby and sound from seagulls, but it's so relaxing to be there.

It feels so far away from the noise of Vancouver. I absolutely loved it. If we took public transit, it only took ten minutes to find a quiet oasis.

There's also nearby Spanish Banks Beach that we haven't visited yet. Summer is almost over, and I am hoping to do more fun things outside in Vancouver.

Every weekend feels like an adventure. I hope you're having a stress-free summer.

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.
