Sports, sports and… more sports! INTERNeX was definitely in a very sporty mood this past weekend! I mean, how could you not be with the Canucks advancing to round 2?! Let me tell you all about our fun experience this past weekend!
On Friday some of us INTERNeXers went to the away game viewing party at Rogers Arena. Let me tell you: the experience was 100% worth it! Tickets to the viewing parties are only $15 and you get a free playoffs towel! Almost all the food & drinks shops were running too and the atmosphere is just incredible! OF course, this game was especially fun because the Canucks finally beat the Nashville Predators and made it to round 2 of the playoffs!! đŸ¥³ Woooo! That means that now they have to play against the Edmonton Oilers… those should be some really fun and intense games! In the stadium everyone was sooo happy and it was just such an amazing feeling to celebrate this achievement together with so many fans! After the game there was of course a huge parade from the Stadium to downtown with cars honking, towel power, cheering, clapping and just excitement all over! If there’s another viewing party for round 2, I HIGHLY suggest checking it out cause its just absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! I mean, what are the odds of the Canucks competing for the Stanley Cup Playoffs while you’re in Vancouver?!
On Saturday we also went to a Whitecaps game! This was actually their 50 year anniversary, so there was quite a few people there! I have to say, this football definitely doesn’t compare to the stuff we’re used to from Europe. But the food was so much better lol! We usually don’t really have that many options and there’s also more variety than at Rogers Arena.
It was still a super fun experience and it was really cool to the BC Place! The stadium, is actually huge!! It doesn’t really feel that big at first, but once you see how much larger the actual court is (compared to Rogers Arena), you notice how big BC place really is!
Overall it was a very fun weekend and we’re so excited to watch the second round of playoffs and of course we’re gonna cheer as loud as we can for the Canucks! The next game is actually gonna be during our Pub Night, so I’ll see ya there! đŸ˜„
Toodles!

Who doesn’t want to celebrate Easter with the Easter bunny, Easter egg hunts and all sorts of games? Maybe it is not for everyone, however if you would like to get the real Easter feeling, you should go to Stanley Park and celebrate ‘Easter in the park’. There will be an Easter egg hunt for all ages. Also, they will have a train riding on the park’s famous miniature railway. This event starts today (Friday April 22) and runs until Monday, April 25th. It starts at 11 am till 4 pm. It will probably be quite sunny this Saturday, so it will be a good day to go the park anyway :D. Don’t forget to bring your Easter basket!
We have already post about this last weekend, however the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival is still running until this weekend. This year the TWSSF will celebrate its sweet sixteen and they will do it in style. It’s a really big event full of snowboarding, skiing, snow, partying and fun! Their main slogan is: ‘‘Party in April, Sleep in May’. Live it, breathe it, believe it. The festival started April 15 and the last day of the festival will be this Sunday the 24th.
