In the Realm of the Frenchie Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog

Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").

It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!

The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

Note: this random entry is served on a per-visit basis and will change if you reload the page. It will also not show up on regular RSS, Feedburner and Twitter feeds.

   Vintage! This is a random post. The year was 2006...

Vancouver Graffiti ~

I’ve posted a new Vancouver-related photo gallery, this time showcasing the work of others. It’s called Vancouver Graffiti and it aims at exploring another one of our city’s many faces. It will eventually be followed by a second gallery focusing on architectural styles, house and building particularities and so on, once I’ve accumulated enough materials. For now, enjoy the colors of our walls. This is no longer vandalism, it has become a form of public art, and these guys are good!

2009 update: the gallery is no longer availible due to a major site redesign.

In the Realm of the Frenchie

The heart’s home of the Frenchie...If he could have, Vince would have climbed into this display case on Granville Island and rolled around in the candied salmon. It was my first taste of Vancouver and I was very sceptical. Fish with sugar? Like, eugh? It was delicious!

I have also discovered that he will do...anything...for thinly sliced duck prosciutto.

Some observations:

Vancouverites say goodbye and thank you to their busdriver, even if they are getting off at the back.

The Swiss should be envious of the bus schedules.

Homeless Vancouverites pack all the trash they have just unpacked from trashcans, back in, very neatly, once they have sifted through it.

Moss should be the city plant.

Alcohol is really expensive here! Every sip of a martini is savoured. A New York, $10 bottle of Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc, is $18 in Vancouver.

Cape Town may have a most beautiful city in the world rival...

The air here smells like snow.

Chambar is one of the nicest restaurants I’ve eaten at, anywhere. Roast morelles, pear and Serrano; baby beet and goat cheese; the most delicious pot of mussels with frites, and a Spanish Gewurztraminer...

Safeway seriously needs to stock organic products.

French-Canadians make the best marriage proposals.

Drinking beer at the lodge on Grouse Mountain is like being inside Twin Peaks.

Canadian geese look good in Canada.

The logs on the beaches at the seawall are both beautiful in a symmetrically parallel way, and very good to sit on.

And a question:

...do Canadian dogs pooh?
