For my first blog on Vancouver, I would like to say something witty, charming and absolutely too bold for you -- dear reader -- to resist. Unfortunately this will not happen, as i am nervous. You see, Vancouver is a paradise to me, and if i do not write perfectly about this sexy, ever evolving and alluring city --- I will feel a failure. I love this place... from the hotty totty ...

Us Vancouverites are a pretty generous group.  For the 3rd year in a row, Pacific Palisades Hotel will have its Suit Drive for Dress for Success.  Dubbed "More than a Suit Drive," people will gather between 6:30am-9:30am on March 15th, 2007.

The walk started at the Chinatown arch and we made our way through Shanghai Alley, up ender Street, down Richards Street and to the Penthouse nightclub.

Sophia Books is located across the street from Harbour Centre on Hastings Street. It's a great little store that sells books in a variety of languages and often has books that other book store chains don't have. They sell interesting calendars, international music, handmade cards, postcards, bookmarks, notebooks and journals. You can find a nice selection of origami paper there ...

Presentation House Theatre's production of An Ideal Husband is an absolute blast.  I went to see the show because a wonderful actress I know, Kristina Murphy, was playing Mabel Chiltern.  She lights up the stage, giving an airy personality and light physicality that is delightful.

The cast plays off of each other charmingly and induced big laughs from the sold out theatre.  The costumes were ...

Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is one big excuse to gorge yourself on mountains of sweet or savoury pancakes.

Of course, purists will stick to plain old lemon ...

Not too long ago, I had the opportunity to sit down for a coffee with the founder/owner of AGRO Cafe, a fair trade/organic coffee shop in Yaletown.  Both being graduates of the same faculty at UBC, we chatted a bit about people we both know and other goings on in the faculty, and then proceeded to talk about coffee for over 2 hours!  The reason for ...
