Another week is coming to an end, and we are not just looking forward to a regular weekend – no it is Labour Day Weekend, which means you have 3 days off! Yes, you got it right, Monday is a holiday. 🎉
But what to do with your three days of freedom?
Friday:
You can enjoy an easy evening at the Lower Mainland’s massive Shipyard Night Market in North Vancouver. Wander around and just enjoy the local music, art, fresh food and regional products. It is the perfect location to spend a Friday evening – nothing too crazy, you can eat dinner there and just hang out with your friends while exploring what’s on offer.
Saturday:
How about exploring the outskirts of Vancouver? You could plan a daytrip with 
some friends, or on your own, to Vancouver Island, Whistler, White Rock or Squamish. While you can have an easy day in White Rock or in Victoria (Vancouver Island) just walking around the city exploring the cute roads and checking out the many shops, you could also get a lot more active in Whistler or Squamish. The wonderful nature offers many different hiking trails which will reward you with breathtaking views over landscapes you probably haven’t seen before.
Once you are back in the Van, the evening offers you another great thing to do: In North Vancouver you get the chance to enjoy some outdoor movies again! And it’s not just one movie, but two. In one night. Great, right?
At 8pm you can watch Finding Dory and at 10pm The Goonies.
Sunday:
Ever wondered how a Japanese festival would look? Well, this Sunday you have the chance to get to discover it. Make your way to Burnaby and try some typical Japanese food, watch a martial-arts show and enjoy an entire tea ceremony. Doesn’t this sound like fun?
Monday:
Shops are closed today, but you still have loads of options to spend your time on this Monday. There is a Cyndi Lauper concert at the PNE, so get ready to have some fun singing along to her all-time classics and some new hits. If you don’t want to spend money on a ticket to her concert, why not visit the Taiwanese Festival in Downtown Vancouver. You can enjoy amazing Taiwanese culture, their food and even some Taiwanese art in the streets around Granville and Robson.
I hope you enjoy your weekend.

6.95. The Vegetarian rolls are also very good and fill you up. If you do not want to eat there, just order take out. For more information visit their website by clicking 
If you survive until the end of this week, you will be rewarded with lot’s of fun times on Friday night! Instead of our usual pub night this week, we will be having a pub and club night! But wait, how can this night get any better? It’s going to be HAWAIIAN/TROPICAL THEME! Yes, that means you have to dress up like you are going to the BAHAMAS, baby! Bring out those shades, flip flops, grass skirts, and of course Lei (the flower necklace!). Anyone got a coconut bra? I do 😉 And after pubbing, we can head over to Venue for their special event WTF Fridays (Ladies get in FREE before 11 pm). Also, this will be my last pub and club night with you all, so it would be awesome to see you there!
Vancouver is a city well known for their sushi and Japanese cuisine! I have my favorite sushi restaurants in downtown and if you haven’t ever tried it, you are definitely missing out!! And don’t try to tell me that you don’t like seafood…because I don’t either and I love going out for sushi. When we were on the Rockies trip, I missed it so much! So join me and let your taste buds explore the world of Japanese cuisine! Not everything is fishy 😉
Too bad we lucked out on weather last weekend and couldn’t go! But hopefully, we can reschedule it again! This outdoor Go-Kart track is the longest in Western Canada at a half mile long!
Do you know what Matcha green tea is? It’s finely milled or fine powder green tea from Japan! Matcha tea is popular during tea ceremonies and is used to flavor and dye foods such as mochi, soba noodles, green tea ice cream, and a variety of wagashi (Japanese confectionery). Another neat thing about Matcha green tea is that it is full of nutrients and antioxidants! Never tried it? Well now is your chance, because Blenz is giving away their green tea drinks for FREE during the month of April! The great thing about this is that you get to try cold drinks instead of hot! Perfect for this Spring weather, don’t you think? 😉
Imagine the other day everybody was busy at the phone, Mina was speaking in Corean, Mayuco in Japanese, Marianne in German, Quennie in Chinese and myself in Spanish, isn’t it crazy? But isn’t it wonderful at the same time?
