INTERNeX Canada: Upcoming events!

A beautiful sunny Monday morning in Vancouver…I can’t wait for the summer! But wait, what’s planned for the upcoming events?

Sushi Dinner Night 

Don’t hate me, but I think sushi in Europe cannot compare to the ones in Vancouver. Seriously, we have the best Japanese cuisine and all-you-can-eat sushi! I know some people might not be a fan of seafood…or anything that tastes fishy. But trust me, it is so delicious. If you’ve never tried them…it’s about time, don’t you think? Try california rolls, dynamite rolls, terriyaki chicken, spicy tofu, spicy tuna, and so much more! After all-you-can-eat sushi, everyone I know including me says they’ll never eat sushi again…of course that’s a lie. It’s so addicting!

When: Saturday April 20th 

Where: TBA

Richmond Go-Kart!

wow so intense…the guy in the back looks like Mr. Smith from the Matrix O_o

Do you think mother nature will finally give us a break and show some sun? Join us next weekend as you get to drive around the track, racing your friends! Boys…you know you’re gonna love this! And girls, don’t worry…when you win against the guys, just imagine how sweet the victory will be as you laugh at their faces. Prove them wrong that girls CAN drive…better than guys 😉

Where: 6631 Sidaway Road, Richmond

When: Saturday April 27th

If you aren’t interested in these events, don’t worry, there will be plenty more in just a few weeks! Besides, I think it’ll be sunny more often now.

Cheers,

INTERNeX Canada: Rocky Mountains Trip Review!

Last weekend was an unforgettable experience for all 17 of us who went to the Rocky Mountains trip. Watching the beautiful scenery of snowy mountains and lakes really made me think how much I took Canada for granted. The bus we went on was named the “party bus” and it was a perfect fit.

Our West Trek tour guide, Lee, was amazing. Man, I don’t know how this guy had so much energy, considering we partied every night and woke up super early. And quite honestly, it was Lee who really made this trip so special for all of us. He has got the BEST jokes, music, games, and impressions of different accents with a comedic spin to it! Some inside jokes I will always remember are: BeCARFEUL monsieur! Japanese girl: ahhhhh~ and hi-cheese~!

Another great thing about this trip was the gorgeous weather. We really were a lucky bunch because it was sunshine and blue skies everyday! And because of this, we got to see all of Mount Robson, which is super tall! On our way to Valemount, we got off to look at spahat falls. It was so nice there!

The second day, we made our way to Banff, Alberta. This place was my favorite hotel! During the evening we went to their local pub and club for another night of partying! It was a lot of fun because everyone was drinking and having such a great time. One of the most memorable experience for me personally was the Columbia icefield. It’s a huge place and it was so windy! I thought I was going to be blown away by the wind. Regardless, the icefield was one of my favorite places in the Rocky Mountains. One person said he would come back to get married there…I won’t say who it was 😉

During this trip we went to so many beautiful places such as Lake LouiseBow Lake, Emerald Lake, and of course Banff Gondola! On the way home, in Kelowna, we all stopped for a small lunch break. Unfortunately, someone from the other tour bus wandered off! We all tried to look for him..our tour group suddenly turned into a huge search party. The police got involved and we waited for a couple of hours. Although it was stressful…I think it really brought all of us on the tour even more closer. We really bonded…and like Lee said, we were a wolf pack.

Overall…this trip is something that will be with me forever. I had such a great time and I hope everyone who went did too. If you missed out on this, don’t worry because I am 100% sure there will be another one quite soon!

Cheers,

Flora

INTERNeX Canada: How was your weekend?

Two days straight of sunshine and beautiful weather? That’s what I’m talking about! Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day and we celebrated by going out to watch the parade in downtown Vancouver and drinking green beer!

The parade was alright, in my opinion. It could have been longer because it seemed like it lasted for only half an hour or so. But still, it was really fun! We saw giant dogs, bag pipers, violinists, dragons, and so much more! After the parade was over, we met up with some of the others and found a place to eat lunch. We ate at Cafe Crepes! Although it didn’t go with the whole St. Patrick’s day theme, everyone had a great meal. I got the Nutella nut Hazelnut crepes and it was so delicious! I highly recommend it when you go!

After a huge meal, we all decided to go around downtown, look at some events going on along Granville Street. There were huge crowds everywhere we went, so it was quite difficult to watch some dance shows. But after, we  went shopping on Robson Street! We all went to Forever21 and the girls had fun of course…I’m sure the guys had fun there too 😛 

After walking around and window-shopping, we all went to the Lennox Pub for some green beer! I really didn’t like it…I thought it would taste different, like sweet or something. It was just beer…with green food coloring. If I was making green beer, I’d make it all fancy -add some mint extract, whipped cream, and green sprinkles 🙂

It was lot’s of fun, I love St. Paddy’s Day…gives you an excuse to drink on a Sunday afternoon! 

Cheers,

Flora

INTERNeX Canada: “INTERNeX Goes Rockies 2012” Review

“INTERNeX Goes Rockies 2012” was a blast!!!!

Awesome countryside, amazing Parties, cool and nice people and soooo much fun!


Let me start from the beginning: Heeerrreee we gooo!! =)

One of the best weekend trips ever started on Friday Morning. 
Almost everbody has chosen the Party-Bus with the tour guide Lee and that was the best choice for sure!

Different things going on while we drove to the Rocky Mountains and a lot of entertainment made the 8-hours drive passed by really fast.
We stopped on different places, were singing songs on the bus and playing different games!

Lee taught us many interesting facts about the cities and sights we were traveling trough and always made it as funny as possible.

We were really lucky because the sun was shining the whole weekend.
We had a hockey game and a BBQ on the first night before we went to a PuB and had a few drinks.
The next day the real adventure started.

We went to the Columbia Icefield. The huge glacier was unbelievable and the information we got about it were surprising. Some took of their shirts and took a bath in the snow on the top of the glacier.

We stayed the 2nd night in Banff in an awesome hotel! Saturday Night was an unforgettable night out in Banff. We went to PuB together with hundred others and enjoyed ourselves with a few drinks.
Later on we went all together to the best Club in town, got in for free and partied all night long!

 

We got up on Sunday, the weather still amazing and went to the top of the Rockies with a gondola. After free time in Banff we went to Johnston Canyon and the famous Lake Louise.

We performed our dance we practiced all together during the ride. Around 100 people made videos and we had a awesome time!
The last night was amazing again. We hade a campfire, a huge BBQ and told ghost stories, sang songs and it was the perfect end of an amazing trip!

Thank you all for coming. You were amazing and we had sooo much fun together. Thanks West Trek Tours, Lee and the future Tour Guides for the perfect organization and making it to an unforgettable trip!!
Jiiiip-Jiiip heeereeeee we go…


IT WAS AMAZING !!!!!!!

Let us know how you liked the Trip to the Rockies and leave a comment!!!

Come to the AFTER PARTY & PuB NiGHT tomorrow!!!

Cheers,

Hannes
