INTERNeX Canada: Smart Saver Vancouver

Vancouver sometimes can be really expensive, and therefore we stop attending places that we used to go when we were at home because they were way cheaper.

Finding a cheap place for both men and women to get your hair cut here can be quite difficult and it’s  way too expensive.

This week, I would like  to show you an interesting , nice and cheap option for those who can’t afford expending lots of money for taking care of their hairs.

There is a hair training centre in West Broadway at Cambie, where you can get a very good price for their services.

For example, for both men and women, Shampoo, Cut and Blow Dry  is $9 dollars for short hair and $10 dollars for long hair. 

Additionally, If you want to request flat iron you’ll pay $15 dollars, instead of $10.

Hair Up and Evening Styling starting from $35.

Conditioning treatments available from $10 ( conditioning or clarifying treatment) to $25 (clear gloss treatment).

Perms and colors are available from $25 and up and hi-lights are also really cheap, starting from $45.

• The best: It’s very cheap if you compare it with another hair dressers.
• The worst: all the services are performed by students, but they are always supervised by professionals.

Check here all the services if you are interested.

Name: Future Hair Training Centre

Address : 512 W Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E9

Telephone: (604) 709-6055

Hope it helped guys.

Best,

Mercedes

INTERNeX Canada: How was you weekend?

The last Saturday we went to the Chinatown Night Market. It’s one of the open night markets which taken place in summer.

We met in Keefer St with Main St corner. I recommend choose other place if you are thinking in go with your friends. You can hear all the time a voice shouting, very loud, something like “Two t-shirts for 20$, everything must go, everything must go!” again and again. After 5 minutes you really want to learn Kung Fu.

You can buy artisanal goods, very cheap products (I’m not going to talk about the quality) and vintage clothes. There are also a lot of shops to buy handmade amulets, jade jewelry and massage stands. The Chinatown Market offers also a lot of free shows to see, like table tennis tournament, outdoor cinema, hip-hop karaoke, Street Fighter tournament, and much more. We could enjoy a Kung Fu demonstration and it was very exciting.

After the Kung Fu show, we went to a pub to drink something but we went back home soon, it was a long day.

THE WORST: Taking into account that the Vancouver Chinatown is the largest Chinatown neighbourhood in Canada, honestly, we expected something bigger.

THE BETTER:  The food, was really amazing.  It’s impossible don’t buy anything if you go there… so many delicious things that you can choose. We bought a strange roll made with fried potatoes and crepes with fruits and chocolate.

If you didn’t come, you have to join us the next weekend!

 

Cheers,

Clara.

INTERNeX Canada: Things to bring to a camping trip.

As you already know, we are going to camp in Chilliwack for our White Water Rafting Trip.

So I would like to remind you guys, a few important things you have to keep in mind while you prepare your luggage!

List of important things to bring to a camping trip in general:

Personal hygiene:

Tooth Brush, tooth paste tube, deodorant and shampoo: Not necessary to explain you why it’s important, but I just remind you because I know sometimes we can forget this typical things.

Towel: Important for having a shower (obvious) and also because of the rafting we are going to get wet and we’ll need to dry ourselves.

Flip-flops: To have a shower. Also we need shoes we can soak, so sandals and flip-flops are a good option to bring to the White Water Rafting Trip.

Earplugs: This is important if you have a mate in the tent that snores. No more comments about that. Heheheh.

First aid kit: Band-aids, betadine and so on. In general people forget to bring this kind of things when camping.

Sun cream: Also very important for those who burn easily.

Toilet paper: Yes, I know it can sound stupid, but for people who never camped before this will be a thing they will forget to bring. (for example me)

Clothes:

I highly recommend bringing comfortable clothes. Also a swimsuit and shoes that you can soak are important because we need it for the rafting. (For camping in general is also a good idea because you might have a river or a beach close to your camping place).

Don’t forget also a pajama to sleep. 

Leisure:

Depending on where you are camping, you can bring a mobile phone (in some places you won’t have coverage, but still good for emergencies).Also a camera is important if you want to immortalize the best moments of your camping trip.

These are things you have to keep in mind while you prepare your camping trip. I hope it helped! Anyways, if you still need more information just write a comment or contact us.

Have a nice Sunday everybody!

Best,

Mercedes

INTERNeX Canada: Casual Friday

What do you know about the short history of Vancouver?

Maybe at this stage you must to know a lot of things about Vancouver: the biggest streets, the local food, and which website is better for checking out the bus schedule. But how many things do you know about the history of this city? Maybe the first thing that you have to know is that Vancouver is an only 125 years old city!

If you feel curious, here you have a timeline with the most remarkable facts that happened in our lovely Van.

-       1791: The Spanish Captain Jose Maria Narvaez was the first European to explore the area.

-       1791: The second European was the British Captain George Vancouver.

-       1808: Simon Fraser arrived descending the river, which wears his name. He was the first European to settle down in the area.

-       1858: Colony of British Columbia was established.

-       1867: Hastings Mill was founded, was a sawmill on the south shore of Burrard Inlet.

-       1867: Gassy Jack made a deal with the Hasting Mill workers. They built a saloon and he provided them to whiskey. Around this saloon the first neighborhood of Vancouver was built. The name of that area is Gastown, in honor of Gassy Jack.

-       1869:  A large amount of people moved to Gastown to build the Canadian Pacific Railway. Gastown is surveyed as Granville Townsite.

-       1886: Finally the Canadian Pacific Railway was finished and Granville was renamed as the City of Vancouver.

-       1914: Panama Canal was opened and Port of Vancouver has become one of the largest in the world.

So we are here, enjoying this beautiful city! If you are one of the lucky persons who won one of the free tickets for the Big Bus, you can come with us one day to learn more about the history of Vancouver.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Clara.
