Vancouver Limousine Stories

When the 2 weeks the 2010 Olympics were held in Vancouver, it was considered the best freaking time of our lives! I remember I worked every single day at the office of Vancouver Limousine. I dealt with tons and tons of clients over the phone and e-mail, sent tons of confirmation forms and invoices, dealt with drivers, did paperwork, cleaned vehicles, and basically just ran around all over the office… barely sitting. Well after a long day at work, basically a 9-5 job, I would call up my friends and vice versa and we would take the skytrain to Granville and Burrard and we would walk around the streets at night, take tons of photos, view the city, try to get on CTV, take a look at the pavillions, look at all the Olympic destinations (cauldron, the Olympic store, Ozone…), high 5 hundreds of strangers in one night…

Basically, I had the time of my life. Downtown Vancouver was so alive! For once… ’cause usually at nighttime, there aren’t that many people. It was weird seeing so many people and being in a huge crowd… especially that night Team Canada won the gold medal hockey game! After the game it was insane in Downtown. Everybody was screaming and yelling… cheering and chanting… hugging and giving high fives! It was sooo much fun. I really enjoyed it… but a week later, when I returned, it was kind of dead

Anyways, after the 2 weeks, I had to return to college this week and everybody was really depressed! We call it the “Post 2010 Olympic depression” and I totally felt it man. I was sooo unhappy I have to study 24/7 now, it’s tiring, tedious, and NOT fun. I’d rather work all day and party all night, now THAT’S life ;) After this super looooooooooong week at school, I got back to work at the office yesterday and people were starting to call for graduations already! Yup, it’s that time of the year again — GRADUATION SEASON! woooo. So guys, call me and I’ll hook you up with a couple of limousines for your grad night!

Hey guys, team Canada is playing hockey again tonight!

A few nights ago, when Canada won the preliminary game against Norway, people all over downtown went insane! There were cars honking and beeping screaming “Go Canada Go” the whole night, people giving each other high fives, and I even saw people wearing the Canada flag over their shoulders…kinda like a cape?

Now on the news, they say there is a huuuge demand for Team Canada hockey jerseys, yay! Take a look yourself: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2010/02/18/calgary-canada-olympic-hockey-sweater-jersey-demand.html

This definitely makes me proud to be Canadian :). Anyways, besides seeing all these proud Canadians, I drove around downtown in my Vancouver SUV limousine and I made $600 just for a few transfers! Wow!! I bet it was because of Canada’s victory over Norway – 8 to 0!!!

The Vancouver 2010 Olympics are finally hereee!

There are tons of tourists and people everywhere! However, one thing’s missing and that is SNOW! I can’t believe it, last year, it snowed so much I couldn’t even drive home because I got stuck up the hill, but this year is a totally different story. There hasn’t been a drop of snow.. and it’s freezing cold in the nighttime. What’s up with the weather?

Anyway, I have Olympic fever now! I’ve been transporting clients all over the lower mainland for Vancouver limousine, especially airport pick ups to Whistler and tours of Vancouver. If anybody needs a limo, a van, or a sedan, give me a call and I’ll hook you up at 1-866-874-1311

For my best friend’s birthday, she was just planning for some take-out Chinese food and a movie or sleepover at her house, nothing special, just another girl’s night out. However, I called up my buddy driver at Vancouver Classic Limousine and asked for an SUV limo for the night. 11 of my friends and I headed over to my bff’s house in our own cars and dropped off our duffel bags and stuff, then we crashed her bedroom and washroom and quickly changed into dresses and put on make-up. My bff asked me what was happening and I told her to get dressed up because we’re going out! She gave me a “WTF” look but listened to me. In less than 10 minutes, the SUV limo pulled up on her driveway and my bff saw this through her bedroom window and she screamed. We all laughed and yelled “SURPRISE!” She ran into the vehicle and posed for tons of pics :). We toured the streets of Downtown and went to Moxie’s restaurant for dinner and dessert. At around 9 PM we hopped back onto the vehicle and stopped by the BC Liquor store and Shoppers Drug Mart for some booze and snacks and left them in the vehicle for later. We then got dropped off at the Gossip Nightclub and danced ’til 1 AM. We then got dropped off at home and finished our drinks and snacks and passed out :P.

Oh my god! Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at these absolutely stunning limos.

A barbie pink limo! Ladies would go crazy over this if we had it at Vancouver Limousine, eh? I don’t know about you but to me, the inside of this vehicle looks delicious

Take a look at this:

At first, I thought my eyes were deceiving me, but nope. It’s a stretch mini cooper with a swimming pool at the back. Kind of hilarious dontcha think? Now why doesn’t Vancouver have limos with pools at the back?

When I retire.. I want to get myself a limo which one do you guys recommend?

Hey everyone!

The 2010 Olympics are being hosted here in Vancouver and Whistler this February! Less than one month away–27 days to be exact. Has everyone reserved their transportation to Whistler yet? I know I have I booked from a Whistler Shuttle company called Whistler Star Express and now I know I can get up to Whistler to watch the games and maybe ski and snowboard a bit. The most exciting part is that my family and some friends are coming from overseas just to watch the events! Isn’t that great? I love how to Olympics brings the world together. Of course, I also have friends coming from the states and some across the country too. People have been asking me to recommend restaurants in Vancouver. Well I’d have to say that if you love steak, you gotta go to Hy’s Steakhouse, Gotham’s Steakhouse, or Joe Fortes. However, Vancouver is pretty darn multicultural (well, Canada is in general) and we have some of the best Japanese and Chinese restaurants around! If you love Japanese cuisine ranging from sushi to ramen to sukiyaki (hot pot) then I’d recommend Guu, Posh, Kintaro, and Takara Bune. For Chinese food, just go to Richmond and walk into any chinese restaurant and the food is awesome! Places like Sun Sui Wah and Fortune House are my personal favourites for dim sum, fried rice, and stuff like that. If you feel like Mexican food, I recommend Dona Cata on Victoria Drive. Of course, there are also restaurants for bugers, fries, and stuff like Red Robin, Boston Pizza, Cactus Club, Milestones, Moxie’s, and places like that. All the food is delicious!

For shopping, I’d recommend BC’s largest shopping mall–Metropolis at Metrotown. However, if it’s inconvenient for you, there are also malls such as Richmond Centre, Aberdeen Mall, Oakridge Mall, and Pacific Centre. Of course, everyone has to visit the famous Robson Street in Vancouver or eat at a hot dog stand. The best hot dog stand would be Japadog!

Also, who can miss out on a tour of Vancouver when you’re here anyways? My favourite would be booking a limo or an SUV limo from Vancouver Classic Limousine and cruising around the city in style. My friends and I have done this a few times. We went around Stanley Park, stopped at the teahouse, went around Downtown and went to the nightclubs and had dessert at various places. You can even get a tour in the Sun Yat Sen Gardens, around Granville Island, or view the city from a bird’s eye perspective at the Lookout at Harbour Centre and eat lunch or dinner at the revolving restaurant one floor below–Top of Vancouver. There are many more places to see, experience, and taste, but unfortunately, this post would be pages and pages long, so why don’t you give me a call instead and I can be your chauffeur for your Vancouver Limousine Tour!

Hey everyone, I’m back again! I’ve been taking a break from the computer for the past few weeks, but now that school and work have started again, I’m sitting in front of it all day again. My Christmas and boxing day shopping were awesome! On Christmas eve, I went to work at Vancouver Limousine in the morning and then took the bus to Superstore and bought garlic bread and pie, then went over to a relative’s house for a family gathering. The food was unbelievable! The loaf of bread i brought? Well, there were 5 other ones also, so I ended up taking mine home. We had tons and tons of food! Salads, fried rice, noodles, bread and pastries, two huge turkeys, seafood, ham, chicken wings, sandwiches, etc. We even had all sorts of drinks like your normal Pepsi to peach wine! The bottom line is that no one was starving. After dinner, we had a secret santa gift exchange. Everyone had to bring a gift under $10 and we had to choose a number. My haul wasn’t bad, I got a new set of dishes for my kitchen. After that, we had some dessert and started singing karaoke! My relatives sang until 3 AM and I was really tired by then. I got home at around 4 in the morning and set 5 alarm clocks so I can go boxing day shopping!

In the end, I woke up at 11 AM and went to Metrotown by noon. When I got there, my heart totally sank! It was like a sea of people. I felt dizzy in half an hour so I left and went to Pacific Centre and Robson Street instead. I shopped at American Apparel, Aritzia, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi’s, TNA, Lululemon, Armani Exchange, Banana Republic, Hollister, American Eagle, Holt Renfrew, Le Chateau, Coach, H&M, Below the Belt, and some shoe stores such as Aldo. Ate a late lunch at Milestones on Robson. When I shopped til I dropped, I went back to Metrotown in the evening and bought a few things at Forever 21, Garage, Mariposa, Zara, and Urban Behaviour.

Yes, I admit, I AM a shopaholic! Now I gotta work more to pay off my credit card bills! Hope the Vancouver 2010 Olympics help keep me busy

Boxing day at Metrotown - This is worse than Black Friday in the US!

Usually people would say “I cant wait till Christmas!” but not me. I say “I cant wait untill BOXING DAY!” Not that i dont like Christmas, but the gifts that you receive on Xmas day are all surprises that you have to accept even though you dont like them and they are just going to take up room and collect dusk. While on Boxing day, you shop for yourself. And who knows you best except yourself right! All the things that you buy on boxing day are going to be 100 percent favourites and 0 percent dissappointment. =)

I hope i made other people excited for boxing day too (but not too many or else metrotown mall is going to be packed)

Hey guys, there’s only 4 more days until Christmas! Currently at work (at Vancouver Limousine) and I’m bored out of my mind. We had around 30 calls last Monday (Dec. 14) and today? I’ve only had 6. It’s kind of scary how quiet it is, don’t cha think? Is everyone hiding under a rock or something? Where are all the huge Christmas parties at posh restaurants like Hy’s Steakhouse or something?

I wonder if it’s because of the economic recession or if everybody is away for the holidays? Man, I wish I could go away somewhere warm too. Hawaii? Austrailia? The Carribean? It’s raining here and I’m freezing my bum off. The sad thing is, it’s not even snowing, so I doubt we’ll have a white Christmas this year I was hoping for one though…

While I was online reading some random blogs, I found this awesome limo picture:

whoa! Just how AWESOME would it be to have a ride in a Ferrari limousine? Wow, I’m dying to drive it even! This is the coolest limousine ever built in my opinion…

It’s been really busy on Friday and Saturday, I had non-stop transfers, but for some strange reason, I didn’t have work at Vancouver Limousine today, so I guess I’ll be heading out soon for some food and Christmas shopping with my buddies. Going to stop by Future Shop, The Bay, Bath and Body Works, and the Bee Kim Heng’s famous Beef & Pork Jerky store. Hopefully I’m able to buy everything for everyone in my family and all my friends this year. I remember I didn’t have enough money in my bank account last year! Haha, hopefully that doesn’t happen again this year.

Hope we’ll have a white Christmas
