Vancouver - Why not

Not much to report

But before I start here's the quote of the day from none other than Mr Thomas Owen of Cornwall:

"To the United States two hundred miles is no distance but to britain it is a long way, whereas two hundred years is a long time in the US and no time at all in Britain" - very true

Another one along the same lines from Ted a Canadian I worked with at the shaughnessy restaurant:

"I was in York visiting York Minster when some American guy said, 'woah that building is really old, is it pre War?' A nearby Englishman said, it's pre America!" - true story

Anyway whats happening in Vancouver...Not much really! Back to working 35hours at *$'s coffee shop and back on the look out for bar jobs. The lads have started playing football every tuesday night which is a laugh except the canadians make you play with hockey goals and only let you on the pitch for 7mins at a time, fools! Its good fun tho.


(the Vancouver Kings Head Inn (not shown here)

Went to a couple of good pubs this week including the Kings Head Inn, an english theme pub complete with english beer such as Becks, Stella Artois and Kokanee. Ok not particularly english then but good all the same. Elwoods and the legion also get a notable mention.

And for good measure I'll leave you with a photo from Tofino stolen from Gavin's webpage:
