Should I Stay or Should I Go?!

Confusion at the Super-Duperstore...

Now that I have this song stuck in my head...

I know at least two of my friends would get a kick out of this one, you know who I am talking about ; )

Make you want to geo out there and do something different

Stanley Park Sights

Crystal Mall Eats

Fairly famous XLB and good beef noodle, both quite impressive considering they are just in the food court of a small Asian mall. I can learn a thing of two from this beef noodle, it has that extra kick of flavor from pricklyash peel (Szechuan pepper) that stimulates the tip of your tongue just right.

Whistler Blackcomb - Chilli Wonder

Why is the beef chilli on the mountain a wonder? For two reasons:

1. The darn thing costed me $12.82
2. I "wonder" why I order this everytime. Granted it is good chilli, but the breadbowl is so not a good idea. It sucks away all the liquid and expands like crazy in your stomach.

Hm...that reminded me, I should learn how to make chilli.

Whistler Blackcomb - Human Wonders

The other amazing thing about Whistler Blackcomb is how much capital and effort had been putting in to make this a world famous vacation spot. Building one gondola/lift line is uneasy, and building many that cover both mountains is impressive. You start your journey from the base, which in the summer transforms into a hardcore mountain bike park. Each gondola/lift line lasts 10~30 minutes, but imagine without them, it might take you a whole day and a bloody foot to just to get to the mid station. And how did the Roundhouse ever get built so we can enjoy the breathtaking view? And now the new Peak-to-Peak, supported only by two steel towers it lift you across 4.4 kilometers and 436 meters above the Fitzsimmons Creek. Whistler Blackcomb is the ironic example of how human conquers nature, but at the same time respect nature for its grand pleasures.

Whistler Blackcomb - Natural Wonders

Just few photos from my hike on the Whistler Blackcomb mountains. It is quite amazing how the same place is so different in the summer and in the winter. Completely unrecognizable because now most of the snow had melted and now you can start to appreciate the trees and the mountain. Now that the rocks are exposed you start to think how just few months ago, you can easily glide on the surface just with two planks of wood (or fiberglass I guess). The snow covers everything, very forgiving, in a very cold, frigid way it protects us from the danger below.
