Re: Weekend plans?
I'm sorry if I comes across as some sort of precious and affected cad but naff me the restaurants in Vancouver are awful banal places, with equally awful and banal food.

I know that I sell the Okanagan at times but culinary desert springs to mind.
At least there is an ethnic variety and good seafood restaurants n Vancouver. I thought Chambar restuarant was pretty good. I know that you don't fancy the poncy Belgian beers but they do nice non flavoured beer which is pretty potent- food is good too IMO

I like Belgium beers, well the ones from Belgium anyway but the restaurants here, and I hate to use the term, are so inauthentic, they have no history or narrative other than that some investors thought they could make some easy money on the supidity of the public. They're like those despicable Rice and Lloyd Webber musicals, just awuful consumerist fodder.
As I said, count yourself luckyand pity us instead. You can avoid the dives.Plus the fact you have an amazing self supply of marvellous fresh fish and seafood- I bloody don't
Try Chambar if you haven't yet, it really is quite good.

Rumour has it hallucinogens would probably make things more interesting. Really something to definitely be avoided. Space rabbits with neon eyes chasing buildings might seem a tad scared to say the least. Maybe just steer clear of Earls, Wet spot, Cactus club and other such chains

I've said it before and I'll say it again... I think you'd enjoy a visit to St. John's . Just to it before the oil decline means that all the interesting and excellent restaurants close down!

We went to see a band, that turned out to be one of those awful Canadian diddly-irish bands without the IRA edge. We moved on and turned it into a mini pub crawl, ending with some of the best nachos I've ever had.

I was at Real Sports last night. $20 pitchers of Coors Light so I wasn't buggered up the arse too much on the bill even though I was torturing my taste buds some what.

I'm working this weekend as I've worked every long weekend do far this year and I'm pretty pissed off about it.
