What I like about Vancouver

Shopping in SFO was fantastic - I spent a bomb at Marc Jacobs on Filmore St (I think I bought one of everything), found a pair of used Ferragamo boots for $28 bucks in my favourite pre-loved clothes shop and spent a little time in Bloomingdales - picking up some gorgeous Juicy bracelets and earrings at a quarter of the price I'd pay in Australia. So much fun! But it really pooped me out and is heavily contributing to the jetlag I'm feeling.

So here's what I love about Vancouver - just some things I only noticed that I miss once I got back here.

Firstly - a white Christmas! It's snowing right now! It's wet heavy Vancouver snow but I don't care.

Pay a the pump - it's cold out and the less time I spend out there the better. Why don't we have this in Sydney?

My favourite, favourite Hot & Sour Soup from my favourite no frills Chinese restaurant at Main & Broadway. Used to be called Ho Tak Kee - now it's New Maple. Same food tho. Go figure. The soup is still $6 bucks! And plates of BBQ Pork on Rice are still $3.50. Sweet.

Cheap Coke. Seriously $2.43?
