Seabus Journey

June 9th, 2010

You should have heard about Seabus if you have been to Vancouver or planning to. Seabus is a bus moving on the Sea (actually Pacific Ocean) and transfers people from North Shore (North Vancouver) to Downtown Vancouver. The capacity of Seabus is huge. It is so huge that at the time of Vancouver 2010 Olympics it was compared to the capacity of an airplane and professionals were discussing the issue of security and terrorist attacks on that.

Anyway, I got a video while sitting in Seabus. It is a view while siting in Seabus and looking outside and watching ocean. It was a sunny day and hope you enjoy the view and scenery.

Yamato Sushi – Granville and Davie

March 7th, 2010

These Olympics days have one benefit for me. I discovered several sushi restaurants downtown and specially close to Granville street. One great restaurant that I have been to is called “Yamato Sushi”. It is a small place and is surrounded by many other sushi places around it. So, if you don’t know about it, you might end up going to some other places.
The quality of the sushis were good. However, the place is not that charming. You can see all the sushi images on the walls. Something that is great as an option if you are not a professional sushi eater like me.
The place is not really designed for eat-in but as I don’t live downtown, I ended up always eating there. Most of the people come and order take outs. You can see the menu of this sushi restaurant here:

Just note that their 5.95 special sushi combo now has changed to a 6.95 combo.

These are their information, in case you want to visit the restaurant.

Queens Sport Bar

May 7th, 2009

If you want to enjoy watching a hockey game with your friends you can always trust on a bar cross lonsdale and queens. It is located in North Vancouver, and me and my friends have watched the lose of Canucks against Black Hawks there. The atmosphere was not that energetic as the average age of people there I can say was 30. More like family based bar to enjoy watching hockey game. In the bar you can find raffle tickets all the time. Each time canucks scores they are giving free t-shirts away. The food was good. There was a wide white screen which was used for the game.
If you don’t have time to go to downtown and join the fun at the heart of the fun, this is the best choice I found in the north Vancouver.

You can find them on the google map here. They are located just across the gas station on the Queens and lonsdale.
Their contact number is 604 980 7715, if you want to make sure you have a room when you are getting there.

Lonsdale Quay

March 11th, 2009

vancouver lonsdale quay Lonsdale Quay Lonsdale Quay is located on the North Vancouver waterfront with a spectacular view of the see. It is considered as one of the major transit hubs and one of the gateways to north shore. Seabus terminal is located on Lonsdale Quay and it is one of the best commuters which connects the North Shore and Downtown Vancouver. Whenever there is an accident on one of the north shore bridges, it can easily make a huge delay especially during rush hours. Seabus, however, operates usually without any delay.

On the North Shore side, SeaBus terminal joins an extensive network of North Shore buses and in Downtown Vancouver connects with buses, SkyTrain and the West Coast Express.

Lonsdal Quay contains more than 90 shops, fresh food markets and children’s play area.

You can find more information looking at their website at http://www.lonsdalequay.com/

These are their address/phone number if you want to contact them or get there
