Hey y'alllllll I'm back from Vancouvertown.
It was really awesome to see where I'm going to be living for the next chunk of my life. It's beautiful there and I love our place. And now that I'm back in Winnipeg I feel lonelier than ever, it's weird having to adjust to living "alone" or without your family.
Things about Vancouver in no particular order but numbered anyway for your convenience:
1. Every restaurant is a sushi restauraunt. Basically. Believe me when I say that there is, like, 1 sushi restaurant for every 2 people. We mistakingly went to one on Robson that was all-you-can-eat and it was TERRIBLE. Further research on
good sushi restaurants is soon to follow.
2. Almost as common as sushi restaurants: hair/nail salons. It. is. insane. I wanted to drag my mom in one to see if they had really cheap hair extensions since the competition is so fierce but we didn't get around to it. On that topic: If done right, are hair extensions tacky?
3. There are beaches in the middle of the city. In the middle of downtown there is a beach! Further research on cute bathing suits is soon to follow.
4. Contrary to popular belief (you know who you are) the last skytrain to my place leaves downtown at 1:15 am. Still early for a night out but manageable.
5. The only H&M in the Vancouver area is a 12 minute drive from my condo.
6. Almost as numerous as sushi restaurants and beauty salons: THRIFT. STORES.
Heavenly.
7. They sell expired
Pocky for 79 cents.
So there you have it. Now for the photos I promised:
The little maps of the route on the plane.
I love the view of the clouds from the airplane window.
Crucial flight soundtrack. The shuffle on my iPod is awesome.
Crucial snacks. Club soda is a tradition on flights.
This is what a CRAZED traveler looks like on next-to-no sleep. Look at those googly eyes, that shit is SCARY.
THE MOUNTAINS!
This is the apple slicer I got for Andrew's mom from Ikea. It is KEY for apple consumption. I don't know what I would do without mine.
How ~apropos~ that the site is called Bona Drag. ALSO LOOK AT THE PRICE. I CAN HACK THAT. Why don't I own a credit card? Online shopping is so much better than anything else in life.
This evening, the above three people were reunited over a London Fog, an Italian soda and a chai latte, respectively. I know what you're thinking: "Stef you look way too cool for those people!" And well, yeah. But it was fun anyway. They made me listen to Ghostface and embarrassed me in front of my neighborhood. What are friends for?
somebody put this child on tv plz

Bahahahaha this is the best site in a while: http://barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com
Next two from http://www.stylebytes.net. Her pink bubble umbrella is exactly like mine but mine is black on the bottom! She's fab.
She can roll her tongue. And that's a hereditary trait so, thanks mom!
She is very affectionate.
She is a lover (and peacemaker) of animals. And she does it with such a calm (eerie?) look on her face.
She is a very well-traveled citizen of the world.
She's athletic as hellllllllll
Mom you fucking rock. And sorry for swearing but let's be honest; you'd probably think it was hilarious.
