So Vancouver has been covered by fog for about a week now. Cindia and Alex invited me to go Snowshoeing on Cypress mountain and once we got there we realised that the fog wasn’t in the mountains. As you can see in the pictures Vancouver is totally covered by fog and it was an amazing sight. Good thing I had my camera.
Enjoy :)
I walked around downtown, mostly the west end, and took some pictures while the beautiful snow was falling. It is so much better than the rain. Let it Snow let it Snow!!!
Today was a nice day with some sunshine…. On top of that it was the Vancouver Santa Parade so I took out my Camera and went on West Georgia to have some fun.
Enjoy the pictures :)
Here is a nice little trick I picked up. It makes Firefox MUCH faster. try it
1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequestsNormally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 16. This means it will make 16 requests at once. (Don’t put more than 16 to respect the servers you will be visiting)
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
This weekend Sasha, Aveline, Amelia and I went for a little walk at long Beach Regional Park(Iona Beach) not too far from the Vancouver international Air Port (YVR). As you can see the sun was beautiful and the walk was just as nice. After a few hours at the park we ended up at the Chinese Night Market in Richmond. Good food but a lot of crappy little things to sell from China like exact copies of Ipod for 29$. LOL
Here are the pictures.
Salut tout le monde. J’ai fait un petit vidéo de mon nouveau bureau à Burnaby(Vancouver). J’espère que vous allez l’aimer.
For the long canada day weekend Bernard, Eric, Young Mi and I decided to take a little 3 day road trip to Okanagan valley. Little did I know, Canada has a small desert. Well it’s not really a desert but it really looks like one. It was 40 degree Celsius the whole time with very little clouds. So anyways, we started our little trip in Osoyoos, a beautiful little city just at the border of Canada and USA. We decided to camp around there for the 2 nights in a little ranch in the mountains. As you can see in the pictures it was a beautiful setting.
-Saturday we left early in the morning and got stuck 3 hours in Vancouver because of a major accident on the highway. We finally got to Osoyoos around 5 o’clock. We found that ranch and set up our tents there.
-Sunday we drove around to visit the many wineries around the area because apparently it is the ”wine capital” of Canada. Even tho I don’t like wine, it was very interesting. We came back to osoyoos to walk around the beach, but it is quite an ugly beach to be honest. It reminded me of those cheap beach in New england on the American east-cost…. At night we went to the play land to have a little Go Kart race.
-Monday we drove all the way up to Kelowna stopping at various places and of course a BEAUTIFUL winery on top of a hill. We had pizza by the water and then had a little walk on the beach front of Kelowna(sorry I had forgotten my camera so no pictures there). After visiting Kelowna we headed back to Vancouver.
Enjoy the pictures.
PS happy Canada day everyone
So yesterday was one of those rare days where the weather was beautiful here in Vancouver so I went out on english bay to take a few pictures.
Enjoy
Premièrement vendredi moi et mes amis avons fait une petite soirée pour ma fête et pour la fête de Violaine. Et par ma grande surprise ils m’ont donné un super beau BBQ. MERCI TOUT LE MONDE… Depuis le temps que j’en veux un ils se sont décidé avant moi. Je voulais m’en acheter un avec l’argent que j’ai reçu pour ma fête, mais bon, ça fait plus d’argent pour d’autre bêtises.
Avec l’arrivée de Young Mi Samedi matin j’en ai profité pour aller chercher des Homards frais sur granville Island en après midi. Et oui, deux magnifiques Homards à Vancouver vous en coutera 105$ OUCH! Ok, j’ai pris les plus gros mais quand même je trouvais ça un peu chère. Bref, ils étaient TROP délicieux et c’était une bonne occasion pour célébrer le retour de Young Mi. Ça me faisait penser à Noël quand j’étais tout petit. :)
Silvie, Sasha, Aveline and I went for a little road trip to Tofino this weekend. It is one of the most western city in Canada and as you can image it is a beautiful place and also very good for surfers. We saw bears, beautiful beaches, huge trees, ate smoked Salmon and even met a start called Barry Pepper. Ok I didn’t know who he was, but Sasha knew him and it totally made her weekend. haha
Ok… I will stop the chit chat and upload those pictures.
Enjoy :)
Me and Sasha went to the zoo Sunday, but like always it was raining. It wasn’t raining much, but just enough to get clouds all over.
Nevertheless, enjoy the pictures.
