That is soooo Vancouver...
After leaving Edmonton, before coming to Ottawa I had a side trip to Vancouver with Medha. It was a good time, lots of girl talk, sightseeing, and eating. I had possibly the best meat ever. If you are ever in Vancouver go to the Memphis Blues BBQ house and get the Memphis feast. It wasn't just a platter of meat...it was a FEAST!
I haven't been to Vancouver for years and it's a beautiful city. There were some notable differences between Vancouver and Edmonton and sometimes (as Albertans) Medha and I would just comment or give each other a look meaning "that is sooo Vancouver".
Examples of things that are very Vancouver:
-Starbucks everywhere. Like across the street from each other.
-People exercising at EVERY hour of the day...early morning, late night daytime...it didn't matter! Practically everyone in the city is a fitness freak. (Kind of weird because even the fit people drink a crapload of Starbucks)
-That leads to the next point: hotter people. Well, it's debatable as to whether or not the people are hotter or just take better care of themselves. Even the old people! All tan and skinny and stuff. I'm dark, but I'm not as skinny as people in Vancouver.
-Lululemon everywhere. Everywhere.
-More expensive than Edmonton..but a lot more restaurant selection I guess it's a tradeoff.
When in Vancouver I also got to meet up with Chris from Prague for dinner, and Albert a trainee that used to work at the bank I worked at in the Czech Republic. It was nice to see everyone and gossip and reminisce about pivo. Dobre, dobre. Unfortunately Erik couldn't make it out because he was sick. Prosim, we told him that pivo would cure his illness. Or maybe he was just scared that I would bring up embarrassing stories about him in the Czech Republic (although he has quite a few on me). Don't worry Erik, Chris regaled the table with a gooood story about you! Oh, Krakow. My friend Jocelyn also made it up to Vancouver so it was great. And it didn't rain while I was there, so it was a nice end to the summer before moving to Ottawa where the hecticness was waiting.

I'd pay money to hear Chris tell the Krakow story of Erik again. Please, just one more time.
Oh, and prosim, pivo can cure your illness and it's not even just an excuse to drink. It's true. It's hard truth! At least it always works on me... wait, so is it just me?
It's not just you. Alcohol cures many things-- haven't you tried the slivovice? And beer has vitamins! It's good for you! Chris telling the Krakow story was moc moc dobre. So futsking dobre. ;) Chris also mentioned you in the story saying something about how you noted that Prague was a certain someone's kryptonite? You are so astute.
It's so sweet that you guys even talked about me, even though I have no idea what that is and when I said that (I don't remember most of the things i said for a you-know-what reason). I even had to look up in the dictionary what kryptonite is. But never mind. It's so futsking awesome that you talked about me. At the end of the day all I want is attention anyways.
