How was your weekend?

Another sunny weekend is behind us, where we had the possibility to explore beautiful Vancouver.

Saturday was a pretty chill day for me. I went downtown and did a bit of window shopping in the afternoon, which is always fun.

Sunday was another marathon in downtown Vancouver. I watched it for a while, and it was quite amusing seeing some of the participants dressed up in weird costumes. The atmosphere was great. Afterwards, I walked along the water by Coal Harbour and enjoyed the view as well as the weather.

By the afternoon, I got ready to go to the trampoline park in New Westminster. We met around 5:30, so we could start jumping by 6. In the beginning all of us were full of energy, enthusiastic and jumping around like little kids. Some of us were even able to pull off some flips. The trampoline park also had a foam pit, which was….interesting, as most of us struggled to get out of it. We also had a few intense matches of dodge ball. After one and a half hours we were exhausted but still hung around for a bit. Overall, it was a fun experience. Thanks to everyone who showed up.

Hope to see you on Wednesday at PuB NiGHT!

Review: PuB NiGHT at TAPshack

Yesterdays PuB NiGHT was at TAPshack in Coal Harbour and we had a great night! Thank you all for coming!

TAPshack is part of Tap & Barrel and is just a little different. We were the only ones seated inside because the location is not that big, but they do have a big patio, unfortunately we didn’t fit out there.

Because this was our special Rockies PuB NiGHT we had Christian from West Trek there to tell us all about the trip and to answer all of our questions. It was great to see how excited everybody is for our trip and we are really looking forward to go with all of you! As promised we would give away a free optional activity, you can check out our Facebook page to see what you have to do to win here.

We also had a lot of new faces there and it was great getting to know some of you! I also got to catch up with others and we had to say goodbye to someone again, which is always a little sad.

I hope to see you Saturday on Jericho beach!

Picture of the week!

This week we have a special picture of the week! It is from Matt Weigel. He came to Canada a long time as an INTERNeX candidate. He decided to emigrate and now he works in Vancouver. He is the house-manager of our Staffhouse in Vancouver. Matt loves to be creative in his free time, as you can see from this picture. It is a picture of Coal Harbour. A lot of Photoshop was involved, since the original picture was shot in the rain and it was pretty dark already.

 

Do you have a picture of your great experience here in Canada? Send it to pr@internexcanada.com with a small description, and maybe your picture will be the picture of the week next time!
