  • A joyless last experience...

    26. april 2015, Canada ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    What a great weekend in Seattle with the buddies! :-)
    But at the end of the day something joyless happened. We went to a restaurant and parked our car at the close antique shop. When we came back after an hour or so, our car was towed. To get it back, we had to pay 440$ (!). This is fraud at its finest! Moreover, unbelievable how rude and aggressive the guy there was!
    You can see the name of the company in the picture. When you are in Seattle, be cautious where to park your car. Don't give these thieves any more dollars!

  • Ristorante "Via Tevere"

    28. april 2015, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    It's about time to eat Italian style pizza in the best pizzeria of the city.
    After an unsuccessful attempt around 2 months ago (waiting line was about 2 hours, they don't take reservations), I was lucky today when I spontaneously decided with my Ticino-friend to have dinner there. First time I saw someone eating two (!) pizzas.
    And we were not disappointed, the pizza was awesome! And the Menabrea beer was so much better than Moretti or Peroni!

  • Ristorante Ludica

    11. mai 2015, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Not the best pizza, but a very good one....and lots of board games to choose from. Just saw this in a bar here, but never in a restaurant. It's nice, couples and whole families usually eat first and then play board games together. :-)Les mer

  • Deep Cove

    18. mai 2015, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Hiking?? Me?!? Hell no!
    That's what I usually might answer to a question like "how about hiking today?", accompanied with a good laugh.
    But this time, it was my own idea. It might be because I had problems finding suitable shirts last time when I was in a clothing store..... However, I feel the need to do more exercises (ok I admit the Donut store in the second picture might not help....). Anyway, that was a good and exhausting start.Les mer

  • Yaletown / Gastown

    23. mai 2015, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    First we got a tour in Yaletown (thank you, Jan) which looks a little bit like some parts of Züri West and had dinner there.
    Then we went to an Escape Room Entertainment game in Gastown. We have been locked and had a limited time to escape, finding logical clues like keys (to unlock doors) or number combinations. At the end we almost did it, but we weren't able to find the 4 digit number to unlock the very last combination lock! It was exciting and four other rooms/stories are still waiting to be explored!Les mer

  • Last test exam!

    27. mai 2015, Canada ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    This will be the last milestone before the real exam. Our teacher told us it will be a very difficult exam, so nobody in class is expecting the same result as in the last test exam.

    Results:
    Use of English: 47,2%
    Reading: 91,6%
    Listening: 86,6%
    Writing: 67,5%
    Speaking: 80,0%

    Total: 75,0% (Grade B ;-))

  • VegExpo

    31. mai 2015, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Vegetarian fair in Vancouver.
    A little bit too hippie/alternative style, but nevertheless interesting. I bought Truffles without milk, without GMO, without soy, without chocolate......oh wait! There IS chocolate in it! ;-). They are absolutely delicious! Ate also some of the best Samosas I've ever had. :-)Les mer

  • Japan-Cameroon 2:1

    12. juni 2015, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    An extraordinary evening for me as I saw my favourite player Aya Sameshima live on the pitch for the first time.
    But the cream on the crop happened when I accidentally met Aya's parents in the stadium and asked them for a photo. At the end of the match I took some more photos of her giving autographs and my friend Chris was even lucky enough to get a selfie with her. :-)
    Best day here in Vancouver.
