Flashing back to Vancouver at Ostkreuz.

Yesterday I was out at the Ostkreuz train station – a part of Berlin that I rarely visit because it’s not really between home and work. It’s not actually a place worth avoiding, rather my commute and regular habits really do not involve heading that direction.

Since I asked Nome three questions, she reciprocated and it’s now time for me to answer.

Vancouver, without a doubt, exceeded my expectations.

I’d actually been a bit worried after reading their tourist guide because the offerings seemed a bit sparse, but in reality, the guide failed to capture the fact that Vancouver is a dynamic and alive city that appreciates diversity. While I was there I heard not just […]

So Saturday Jerry, John, and I went to the south-west corner of Richmond, British Columbia, to visit the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site. Richmond is the suburb directly south of Vancouver, and taking public transportation from downtown out there took almost an hour […]

Dan Savage Is Right

Only in Canada

Originally uploaded by elmada.

Until my friends Jerry and John upped and decided to immigrate to Canada and move to Vancouver, I’d never really thought about Vancouver that much: it’s a city. It’s located in British Columbia, and… well, that’s where my knowledge stopped.

I don’t believe I’ve ever encountered […]
