I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Culture I’ve always been reluctant to travel to the States since I feel that is it too similar culturally to Canada. It doesn’t feel like I’m experiencing something new.

The currency was easy to understand (although it would have been even easier if our dollar was stronger and… Continue reading Trip Reflection: Los Angeles
Bye bye convertible! All good things come to an end as we embark on our last day in LA. First, we had to return the convertible.

Luckily, there was parking on-site with the first 90 minutes free with validation. The market was very lively given it is a weekday. Before arriving, I was expecting the market to be… Continue reading Los Angeles Day 3: Original Farmer’s Market, The Grove, Walk of Fame, OUE Skyspace
Raw Cane Super Juice We started our day like a true Californian by getting some juice for breakfast at a nearby shop called Raw Cane Super Juice. It was a cozy little shop with minimal to none seating. We ordered one with just sugar cane juice, coconut and avocado, as well as a more “green”… Continue reading Los Angeles Day 2: Runyon Canyon Park, Thai Town and Venice
Since we were on the west coast in beautiful British Columbia visiting family and friends, we decided to take a slight detour south to spend a week in sunny California, specifically Los Angeles. It was just a short 3-hour flight and we were at the busy LAX. It was definitely humbling to see how big… Continue reading Los Angeles Day 1: Korea Town and Grand Central Market
