Culture Shock Part 4; Public Transit
Our good friend Eric had a lot of firsts on this trip. After seeing his face on the bus I had to ask if it was his first time on public transit.... He said no, but I still wonder...
It is a wonderful thing to travel with people who are open to new experiences and just taking it in. It makes the whole experience new for me too. As uncomfortable as culture shock is, I think it's an important thing to feel once in a while, we're all the same, but we're all different.
Culture Shock Part 3; Granville Island
Our condo is centrally located for all our Vancouver adventures. Just 5 blocks downhill to the bottom or Hormby St. and the little water taxi to Granville Island. Coming off the ferry was a fellow Yukoner, a Yukon neighbour was shopping at Stuart's just behind us, then we saw another at the sausage place. Small world.
Resto Recommends: The Italian Kitchen
I work with a number of foodies and so when I travel, I always ask for recommendations. The Italian Kitchen was one such recommendation, and we were very pleased. The service was good without being obsequious, the food was lovely to the eyes and the tongue and the small mistakes made were well compensated for. The Chef brought us a lovely desert and the house made it complimentary. By which point, we'd had a good time, so there's no photos!
The Barbering
Who's that? The hot towel straight razor shave...
Culture Shock
We're here in Vancouver enjoying a long weekend. Our first stop after dropping the bags in our fabulous condo was HONS in Chinatown.
We hiked from our place Hons.
Checking the multi-page menu was sort of overwhelming.
