Review: Candy Town in Yaletown

Last Saturday we went to the Christmas market CandyTown in Yaletown. We met up in in front of Jugo Juice not far away from the market. As we walked through the market, we quickly realized that we weren’t the only ones who had chosen to spend a bit of time at this Christmas market in the nice and sunny weather.

At the market you could find waffles, chocolate, cotton candy and much more. For sure it was a good place for the different stores represented at the market to do some advertising for their products. A lot of people were lined up in front of the many food and candy stalls but we were a bit too hungry to wait for that long. So after taking a few funny pictures we went of to a little cafe not far away from the market.

Thanks to you guys who joined for this activity on a nice and sunny day.

Review: Pub Night @ The Metropole

Thanks for another cool pub night yesterday at the Metropole. It was really good to see you guys again. And it was great to see some “new faces” as well. The food was really cheap, and you could get a burger and a beer for just $6.49! Every Wednesday is a karaoke night at the Metropole, so we had lots of fun listening to some very entertaining singers. And let’s just be honest, not all the karaoke singers were good. But we’ve got to give them credit… they really tried 🙂

And of course The Met also have their own Foosball table that we just had to try. So a couple of us played a couple of let’s say very intense matches. Great fun!

Once again thanks for a greet night, and don’t forget our little trip to the CandyTown in Yaletown this Saturday at 12pm. This is one of the only big Christmas markets in Vancouver with free entrance. Would be nice to see a lot of you there. Click here to read more about the market and to sign up for the event.

INTERNeX Canada: How was your weekend?

An amazing PuB and CluB NiGHT and a walk through Vancouver, enjoying beautiful weather: That was our weekend. I hope you had a good one as well but let me sum ours up for everybody who had to miss out on it.

On Friday, a few INTERNeX clients who were persistent to finish their working week with a group of nice people and good music met up in The Cambie downtown and enjoyed a few drinks. Even though it was PuB and CluB NiGHT, we were actually more chatting away then being crazy on the dance floor, but I just go ahead and say it was still a very nice night out. The music was a mixture between rock and the newest charts and something I can frankly not categorize, but it was fun watch a few Vancouverites dance to it 😉 Take a look at our Facebook pictures to get an impression…

After granting everybody one day off to get over possible hangovers, a small group of interested people met up again on Sunday. The task of the day was to explore some of Vancouver’s neighborhoods by foot. Luckily, the weather was absolutely beautiful: Loads of sunshine and no rain whatsoever! So our brave little group set out to explore and we started at the Vancouver Public Library. For all of you who have not yet taken a look at it: It is an impressive building resembling the ancient Roman coliseum and was built in the 90s.

Moving on, we went through Yaletown, Vancouver’s former meatpacking district. Though it’s taken years for the neighborhood to really catch on, it is now a funky upscale district of furniture shops, restaurants, multimedia companies, “New York-style” lofts, and lots and lots of clubs.

Continuing our excursion we were reaching False Creek and took the tiny Aquabus to set over to Granville Island, which is not really an island. It contains a collection of shops, restaurants, theaters, artists’ workshops, housing, a hotel, and still-functioning heavy industry. Right at the top of the Aquabus dock is the entrance into the Granville Island Public Market. And guys believe me: This is paradise! Everything that is edible was probably there. Mountains of fruit and candy. Just take a look at our pictures, it was just amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

After a short lunch break, who can resist eating if surrounded by food, we continued our walk. Strolling down the Island Park Walk, we had the chance to enjoy Vancouver’s beautiful skyline in the sunlight. Passing the Burrard Bridge, the Maritime Museum, and a 30 m (98ft.) totem pole, we finally arrived at Kitsilano Beach. One of the many beaches of Vancouver, offering a lot of free recreational activities, like for example volleyball courts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So a relaxed afternoon came to its end and we have one more time a lot of pictures to share with you.

See you all again soon,

Annika
