Vancouver Limousine Stories

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!
