Vancouver 2010 Olympics

January 16th, 2010

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!

Vancouver wedding

July 3rd, 2009

It’s summertime! You know what that means? Wedding season! So far, I have at least one wedding job a week, it’s crazy!

For the past month of June, I’ve done at least 8 weddings in total! I’ve dealt with a lot of nervous brides, calling me very often before their set pick-up time, changing their itinerary and pick-up and drop-off times, but calling back half an hour later and changing it again, etc. It’s pretty hectic, but I enjoy every moment of it! I love making client’s weddings that much more special.

I guess the most popular places to go to are Stanley Park and Queen Elizabeth park for wedding photos, it’s always nice to see the bride, the groom, and the wedding party all dressed up! Reminds me of my neice’s wedding I will be attending in August… Oops, better call the Vancouver Limousine office to book a limo from them before they have no more room available!

Vancouver Tour

March 16th, 2009

I finally figured out how to use Wordpress!

Here’s my first entry: I got a call from my boss to pick-up 8 clients at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel for a 3 hour Vancouver tour in the limousine.

Little did I know, my clients were from Taiwan and spoke very little English, so it was amusing because they kept giving me blank stares during my explainations on the tour. I took them around Stanley Park where they stopped to take photos and down Robson Street, where they stopped for some shopping. When I dropped them off, they ended up giving me an extra tip!

Wonder when my next Vancouver tour will be.
