What to do on the weekend?

The weekend is upon us, and if you still don’t know what to do the next few days, here are some suggestions. Foodies pay special attention, because this weekend you will have a few opportunities to get some amazing food.

Saturday is the NOSH Foodie Fest in the parking lot of the Capilano Mall from 11 am to 6 pm. There you will be able to find seven food trucks to satisfy your taste buds. And even better, the admission is free.

Another event to consider on Saturday might be the 60th anniversary celebration of the Vancouver Maritime Museum. The celebration will be from 10 am to 9 pm and will include live entertainment and attractions. The admission is free.

On Saturday and Sunday are the Philippine Days 2019, which are being held at Waterfront Park in North Vancouver. This outdoor festival offers loads of Filipino culture such as authentic cuisine, live performances as well as parade demonstrations. There will be over 75 food and merchandise booths at the park sharing their culture with you. The event will be on Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm and on Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. The admission is free, but it is advised to bring cash, to pay at the booths.

You can also join us on Sunday in Queen Elizabeth Park for some Disc Golf, where we will be able to explore the Park and enjoy a nice game with friends. We will meet at Vancouver City Center Sky Train station at 12.20 pm or you can also meet us directly at the Little Mountain Disc Golf course at 1 pm. Wear comfortable clothes and bring some water. Hope to see you guys there!

On Sunday is the Italian Day 2019, where everything Italian will be celebrated. The event will be held on Commercial Drive, which will be car-free zone for that day. You will be able to find over 120 merchants, food vendors and entertainment at the event. Just to give you an idea of the size of the event: 300,000 attendees are expected. The event is from 12 to 8 pm and the admission is free.

 

I hope you have wonderful weekend!

INTERNeX Canada: How was your weekend?

Our weekend was pretty amazing! I don’t know you guys, but we spent a very nice evening in Stanley Park the last Saturday.

As you maybe know, this weekend was the Stanley Park 125^th Anniversary. So we decided to go there to take a look. So many activities were organized in the park! Fortunately, the weather was amazing and we could enjoy the beautiful park more than ever.

I went there so many times but I have to say that it was definitely the better one. The entire place was full of people and you could find interesting things to visit everywhere!

The first thing that we saw was the Vintage Car Display just next to Lost Lagoon.  I’ve never been interested in cars, but here in Vancouver I’ve become a fan. There are so many beautiful vintage cars! I’m so jealous about the people who can afford that.

Then we visited the Rose Garden, where we could see a group of children making a Shakespeare show. Then we almost made a walk tour (there were like three different tours at the same time), but finally we decided to go to Beaver Lake.

It’s such a beautiful place. It’s a little bit hidden; so many people usually skip it. But definitely is a must-to-go inside Stanley Park. It’s completely full of vegetation, and surrounded by trees.

Talking about beavers, we continued our route through the park and we found a place with many stuffed animals, in the ecological center. We saw an enormous stuffed beaver called Rob. The guide told us that it was one of the biggest beavers found in Canada. I’m still trying to decide if it was scared o terribly funny.

And that’s was the end of the cultural part of the day. A music festival was organized in Second Beach, so we went there to have fun. It was the best part for me. We could see some people playing Giant Jenga (if you are a Big Bang Theory fan, you must to know about what I’m talking). After enjoy a couple of concerts and eat some food, we decided to go to buy an ice cream and go back home.

And we have some amazing ideas for the upcoming events, so stay tuned! And of course if you want to make a suggestion about what we can do together, leave us a comment below!

Cheers!

Clara.

Happy Birthday! 125 years Vancouver!

Hi Guys!

Yesterday, April 6 was a very special day in the history of Vancouver. The very young city celebrated its 125th Birthday BIG TIME at the Jack Poole Plaza, next to the Convention Center. The INTERNeX interns had the unique chance to celebrate this event together with hundreds of Vancouver’s inhabitants and international visitors, interns, students, etc. While George and Claudia prepared the PuB Night, which took place at the Forum, Elvera and me went to the Jack Poole Plaza in order to breathe in the spirit of the celebration.

The weather conditions were just perfect! No clouds and sunshine the whole day. We arrived at 7 p.m. Perfect timing since the sunset created a beautiful atmosphere to party! With the majestic mountains of North Vancouver in front of us and the skyscrapers, shimmering in the last sunbeams of the day in our back, we walked around and took many pictures which we share with all of you on FLICKR.

The whole event began at 2pm with street hockey tournaments and continued until 10pm with DJs, live music, food, street arts, special performances and more. It was truly an event for all ages! The band “Bend Sinister” was playing when we got there and they really entertained the crowd!

The most moving moment must have been the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron by Vancouver’s Mayor Gregor Robertson. Unfortunately, Elvera and me were still in the office at that time, but for those of you who have never seen the Cauldron being lighted (except on TV), you can check out a video of the 1^st Anniversary of the Olympic and Paralympic Wintergames on YouTube, where they also lighted the Cauldron. And believe me, it was really touching!

And what should you not forget when you are having a birthday party? Of course…the CAKE! Everybody was walking around with it so Elvera and me did some investigation on the source of it. Finally, in a small tent we found the HUGE and sooo amazing cake which looked exactly like Vancouver (even in 3D!). Unfortunately the line-up was just too long so we didn’t get a piece…

But still, this event was extraordinary and fun!

See you on the 150^th Birthday…! 😉

Did you go to the birthday party too? How was it for you?

Cheers,

Ziska
