My birthday 2012. I was born at 10.30 on 29th October and this photo was taken of us at 10.27. Perfect. Well this was on my list for a while. I was never in a big rush but there wasn’t any other new place I was desperate enough to wake up on my birthday so [...]
A highlight of Bergen, Bar Barista is a bar cafe strung with the fabulous lighting that I am so very fond off! Ad the other thing I’m very fond off, music, via real life DJ playing all sorts of random tunes on vinyl! We had ridiculous coffee based concoctions that we’d never have at home; After Eight Latte & [...]
For my birthday visit this year another cold and expensive country, just like Iceland in 2011! The BF and I knew it would be cold but a couple of days before, we found out we can expect snow! So we changed some of wardrobe, bought and additional case to replace one I’d thrown out after [...]

I’ve already talking about my adventures in the glorious local ‘hood, West End where Century Plaza is but there are so many areas of Vancouver, ranging from ‘good for a visit,’ ‘worth investigating‘ to ‘want to live here‘. Kitsiliano (want to live here) My first visit in 2012 also meant the discovery of one of our faves 49th Street [...]
