4 days @ Airbnb in DT

• One of the best Airbnb’s I have ever stayed at. $60/night in a high-rise building, plus a 15 min walk to Rogers Arena and most importantly Guu on Thurlow.

Seeing one of my old friends from middle school Dzintra. 

Catching a Canucks hockey game and fulfilling HIMYM stereotypes. They serve delicious donuts as snacks and beer in sippy cups. 

Going to Guu on Thurlow-- a Japanese tapas restaurant Daniel and I loved so much we went back three times…

Walking through the Festival Lights, no better way to get in the Christmas mood than looking at a garden full of lights and drinking mulled wine. 

Going to Bubble Tea Shop and eating some of the best egg waffles. 

Heading to Public Market for shopping, macarons, and a quick lunch. 

Walking through Stanley Park to catch skyline views and totems. 

Crossing Capilano Bridge. 

Feeling grateful to be an American -- it was quick and easy crossing the border from Seattle to Vancouver.

The nice people of Canada - everyone was so friendly and kind. Someone even refilled our parking meter for us once it expired!

Not making it to Whistler due to snow and poor car choice. 

Capilano Bridge itself was too foggy to appreciate. Great side sculptures and art exhibits though.

Going to overhyped restaurants.

• Miku: Daniel and I were so excited about Miku (Japanese sushi restaurant famous for seared salmon) but turned out to be a disappointment and mainly made for the insta.

• Japadog: Literally just a hot dog with mayonnaise on it. Save your stomach (and health) and go eat at Guu again LOL .

Having to pay for street parking everywhere we go! No free two hour zones anywhere.

Rent a better car to come up here next time for Whistler and go snowboarding!
