Food Trip in Richmond (Steveston Village): The Crab King Restaurant

Image
Right beside the Steveston Fisherman's Wharf, The Crab King Restaurant offers fresh crab and seafood that's delicious but a bit pricey. We went there at around 5:00 PM yesterday, still a lot early than the dinner crowd. It's more of an afternoon snack after a tiring game of Lazer Tag for my siblings. We were celebrating Alyanna's birthday. These are the food we had: Crispy Battered Prawns and Chips

I have come to realize that I do my best to post something new once a week.

4 Reasons Why I Love Foursquare

Happy Foursquare Day! It's 4.16.16, and my first check-in was five years ago so Happy 5th Anniversary Foursquare! :) I went to an interview for an IT company a few years back, and they asked me which social media I use daily, my answer was Facebook , Foursquare, and Google+ . They asked you don't use Twitter ? I have a Twitter account, but I rarely use it. The manager told me, "you're weird" because I use Foursquare but not Twitter. In this blog post, I will list down four reasons why I love and use Foursquare and Swarm. 1. Personal Travel History Every time I check-in, I create a history of where I have been.
