Smart Saver

It’ Sunday and it’s time for Smart Saver. Here are a couple of tips for how to get through your week without having to spend a whole lot of money. But of course you also want to enjoy life. no problem. Check out these suggestions.

Check out some of the most delicious burgers, waffles and doughnuts in town for prices that you won’t believe. Everything for the price of just $5 or less! Let me give you an example. At 1391 East 41st Avenue you’ll find Duffin’s Doughnuts. This place is open 24/7, and is selling burgers and of course doughnuts for under $5… fantastic! Check out a longer list of different places to go for cheap eats here. If you’re not so much into burgers, waffles and doughnuts then have a look at Ninja Bubble Tea. This is the place to go if you want to get yourself a nice bubble tea for a reasonable price. Bring a student card and you’ll save extra money. The Ninja Bubble Tea store is located at1696 Robson Street.

After a filling yourself with delicious doughnut you probably want to get a bit of exercise 😉 No need to worry. You don’t have to pay a fortune for this. Just go to Robson Square where the public ice rink is now open. It’s for free if you bring your own skates but you won’t have to pay more than $4 for skate rentals. Check out this site for more information.

Finally you can finish off a great and cheap week by taking advantage of free wellness workshops at Polo Health + Longevity Centre on Saturday, December 13, from 10am till 2pm. This will be your perfect mini workshop that will teach you the basics in how to live a healthy life. This wellness centre is located in New Westminster, but remember that you can go through all zones on a one-zone bus ticket during weekends. Have a look at this site to get more info and to view the precise location of Polo Health + Longevity Centre.

Enjoy your week!

What to do on the weekend?

Since the darker and cooler time of the year has started, we might as well do appropriate things, right? As a result, INTERNeX is going to get on ice this weekend. The Robson Square Ice Rink will be open this weekend and it is one of the best things to do around town.

It’s a fun idea the Vancouverites had there. Because the weather never gets quite cool enough for outdoor ponds to freeze, they build this ice rink at Robson Square. It’s for free and if you need to rent some skates, it’s only $4. Especially after dark the rink is a nice thing to do, since they light it up with some colored lights and sometimes even a band is playing for entertainment.

What the Rockefeller Center is for New York, and the Natural History Museum is for London: Robson Square is for Vancouver! The square itself is the heart of downtown Vancouver and bristles with life.

So that is where we are going to be this Saturday night. Let’s meet at Robson and Howe St at 6 pm and then show off our skills on ice together 🙂

See you there,
Annika

Ice Skating Fun Review

Hi everyone,

As you might now we organized an Ice Skating event last Friday in downtown Vancouver. Unfortunately the Ice Rink was closed when we arrived there. Maybe there were technical problems, or maybe there was no ice available! We do not know the reason.  Anyways we had a great plan B! We went to a bar, and enjoyed a great evening there!

It was great to see that there were some new INTERNeX candidates showed up!

We are are sorry that there was no Ice Skating, but we are very happy that it was still a fantastic evening!

Cheers, your PR-Team

2010 Olympic Winter Games Anniversary

Time is running!

It is already one year ago that Vancouver enchanted millions of people all around the globe with a mind-blowing opening ceremony of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Approximately 2,600 athletes from 82 nations participated in 86 events in fifteen disciplines. The City of Vancouver put a lot of effort into making this event unforgettable for everyone. Be it sportsman, spectator or resident. And even one year later, the magic moment should not be forgotten. Therefore the City of Vancouver will celebrate the one year anniversary of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver! It will take place from February 12- February 28. As I can see from the schedule, we have amazing two weeks ahead of us!

Just to give you some examples:

– Lunar Fest sees hundreds of lanterns set up in a night time extravaganza with lanterns and art throughout the city!

– Visit the Olympic Cauldron as its relit for the one year anniversary of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games!

– Relive the Olympic Spirit at one of Vancouver’s most visited venues, the Robson Square Ice Rink!

– And much more….!

It is too bad I haven’t been here when the Olympic Winter Games took place in Vancouver, but I will definitely try to catch some of the spirit during the anniversary dates! I will provide you with more details next week so STAY TUNED!

Have a great weekend!

Ziska
