SANGria

I hung out with Jongwoo, my highschool mate, yesterday. It was such a long time since we had met.
He brought his school mate, John who's from Illinois, US.
We went to Spanish restaurant La bodega at Howe st. According to my Spanish classmate, Inma's definition, the word 'bodega' means like a wine warehouse something.

Meals including Paella were so nice and a Spanish national cooler Sangria drove me high quickly.

3 bikes at Stanley Park

I went biking at Stanley park after a long time.
It was too windy and chilly to ride a bike so far, but for my two friends who are supposed to go back to Korea next week, it must probably been such a beautiful time for them.

They took vast amount of photos to keep them to themselves... I will miss you guys...

A gentleman from 1973

Whenever I walk around Vancouver, I see all kinds of world class vehicles.
BMW X5 and Mercedes SL500 Roadsters are a dime a dozen in this area.
There are also tons of German autos such as Audi, Porsche, VW as well as Italian or British beauties.
That kinds of opulent hotties make me sick sometimes but I feel glad when I see the old schools.
Like a 1969 Morris Mini Cooper S or 1973 Mercedes 280SEL sedan.
Take a look at this below... I took this 1973 model of Mercedes 280SEL on Hornby St.
It's so cool, isn't it?

Oh, Whistler

I've got 2nd chance to go up to Whistler.
This time, my classmates, Dominik, Bea, Verena, who came from Swiss and Germany were with me, and also my closest guys, Jiho, Mimi and Meg, were coming up together.

Before we hit the road, I really looked forward to enjoy their skills that they have been with such a beautiful Alps since they were a kid. They were so nice and strong as I expected.

Fortunately no one dropped behind and were keeping up the pace. Great job guys!
I also enjoyed skiing so much on a deep powder and was just struck by Whistler's amazing sky and fresh air.

After skiing we went to the pub right away to enjoy "Apres ski" which is considered by Europeans. In Korea, we usually take a shower first after skiing and then go out for beers or dinner something like that, but it's quite interesting to see people who rushes to the pub as soon as the ski lift stopped.

I was just exhausted because I never took a ski lift this much before without any break.
It was absolutely like a team spirit training.

Whistler, it was big and also genuine.

Monster Inc.

The Monster Jam, a huge monster-looking truck racing, was held at BC Place.

I had watched this kind of very americana show on TV before so I was quite excited and was looking forward to see a bunch of remodeled trucks and the boom sounds that trucks make.

I was a bit tired even the show hadn't started yet because I got wet in the torrential rain and we had arrived at BC Place 4 hours ahead of the time that the show started.

The garrulous M.C was a guy who seemed typical show master I had often seen on TV show such as WWE something like that.

Unfortunately the game really let me down.
Apparently it seemed like a fairly contested match, but they definitely swindled and even backed up the previous year champion, Grave Digger.
I lost my interest immediately....

Watch a game once is quite enough.
We were complaining severely about the game on the way to Stepho's for having dinner.

I'm down in the dumps

These days I'm really into preparing for a CAE Exam.
I'm studying quite harder than before but still can't get used to its style.
I actually took a trial exam today, but... it was a bomb.... I'm so frustrated..
