INTERNeX Canada: How was your weekend?

It’s a new week again! I hope everybody of you guys had an amazing weekend with this fantastic weather!

Saturday was a perfect day to go Go-karting outdoors. The INTERNeX people gathered on the Richmond Go-kart track to test our racing skills without any rules or restrictions! Well, there were some… no bumping, no swerving. It was so great to go into curves full speed trying to get ahead of everybody. On top of the fun our tickets included tokens for the arcade – an entire room of gaming machines! Some of us successfully tried the DDR (Dance Dance Revolution), others continued to break speed limits in the racing games.

Check out the pictures of this event on Flickr.

After this day of fun and speed I went out for dinner and drinks with friends. Nice weather and a burger outdoors, Granville Street and drinks in several pubs – this made a perfect evening!

On Sunday, the lovely weather lured us to the Lighthouse Park on Vancouver’s West shore. There are many hiking trails but you also can take it easy and relax on the beach as we did. On a clear day like this Sunday we had a stunning view of Vancouver. I think it’s one of Vancouver’s most beautiful parks, you should definitely take a look at it someday!

How did you enjoy your weekend and this amazing weather? Tell us your story, send us pictures and win prizes!

Cheers,
Maria and Xenia

INTERNeX Canada: INTERNeX Amazing Race

Last Sunday we had a lot of fun with the most creative, fastest and most craziest race that INTERNeX ever had..“The INTERNeX Amazing Race” Many people signed up for the chance to win amazing prices. A total of nine teams went on the amazing race. There were 9 tasks that they had to full fill in order to win the race.

The winning team “The Hunting Eagles” arrived at the Starbucks within 2 hours.

“Niels & Daniela as The Hunting Eagles”

“Esther & Victoria as The Crazy Insane Flying Monkey Space invadors”

 

 

 

 

The race for second and third place was neck on neck all the way to the finish. The teams found us at the same time however their teams where not complete, so they had to race to the finish. In the end the second place goes to the team “The Crazy Insane Flying Monkey Space invadors”.

The third place went to the “The Lucky Ones”.

“Janina Stelzer & Jildau as The lucky Ones”

Thank you all for signing up and making the race. We hope that you enjoyed yourselves and got to see Vancouver in a totally different way. If you want to see all the pictures check our flicker site. See you all at the next INTERNeX Amazing Race
