Day Seven in Vancouver

Our last day in this incredible city, we didn’t want to go home and were both looking for how we could justify the future move to the west coast. Could we break the news to our families? Could we leave our friends behind, and could we find good jobs and raise a family? All questions to ask ourselves as we think about the future. But no time for that now! We had to grab an aquabus to head...

Day Six in Vancouver

We started day six with a nice walk up Robson to Granville St where we checked out Taiwanese Fest and some of the local shops. Making our way west on lower Granville, we entered the shadier part of town where every other store was catered to a select clientele. Nevertheless, we persevered and made a spur of the moment decision to visit the University of British Columbia campus and check out the...

Day Five in Vancouver

After a late night at Hapa Izakaya yesterday, we were surprisingly quick to wake up on day five. A healthy breakfast downstairs in the hotel lobby and some strong coffee quickly got us on our feet for another sunny day in Vancouver. We walked down the street to rent some bicycles for the morning and leisurely rode along the Vancouver sea wall from Yaletown where we were staying to Stanley Park....

Day Four in Vancouver

We actually got to sleep in on day four of our engagement moon. My friend Perry met us around 10 am and we took a nice drive through downtown Vancouver to our brunch location on the beach: Cactus Club. There we enjoyed an absolutely delicious butternut squash ravioli, tuna tataki, and cerviche. What was nice about the cerviche was that they used spring salmon instead of the traditional cod or...

Day Three in Vancouver

Vancouver Island was today’s destination, and it was another very early morning in order to make it to West Vancouver and the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal for 8 am. The ferry would scuttle us across The Straight of Georgia to Nanaimo where we’d drive to Port Alberni and Cathedral Grove to see the 800 year old Douglas Firs. As we made our way along another incredible driving road that...

Day Two in Vancouver

It was an early day today as I made my way to Budget to pick up our compact car for the day. A Hyundai Accent was the car of the day and boy, did I ever rev the nuts off that thing on the Sea to Sky highway on our way to Whistler. Easily one of the best driving roads I’ve ever been on, it was a physically enjoyable experience even in a 2.0 L eco box. We left the hotel around 830 am...

Day One in Vancouver

BC has treated us extremely well in the last 24 hours since our arrival. Blown away by the hospitality and friendliness of the locals, and we have been feeling nostalgic for Tokyo as the similarities between the two landscapes are uncanny. We’ve also been very fortunate to have met up with two friends, each of which we only see once a year (if that), but each time it feels like we never...

Life is a Fairytale →

A few weekends ago, I was honoured to be a Groomsmen at one of my closest friend’s weddings at Casa Loma… you may have seen the shot of the castle where they were married that I posted earlier. Well, here’s the story of how they met in one glorious, professionally edited cinematic experience. The music played throughout the video was written by the couple and the vocals and...
