I know that being abroad can be super exciting (I just spent last year on exchange) but I know you can sometimes get homesick. Anyways, a close family friend of mine is from Singapore and she said that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brownricesushi.com\/mandala\/index.html\">Mandala Iki<\/a> (on 4th avenue and Balsam) has really good Laska. So if you&#8217;re ever missing Singapore maybe check it out! I know there are a few more good Singaporean restaurants in Vancouver as well. Let me know what you think if you end up going!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also, this isn&#8217;t particularly &#8216;fun&#8217; but it&#8217;s a good and useful tip, nonetheless. I know you&#8217;re on exchange and you&#8217;re probably not going to want to spend your whole time studying, but when midterms and exams come around you might be looking for a place to study that isn&#8217;t the library. I would recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calhouns.bc.ca\/\">Calhoun&#8217;s<\/a>, on West Broadway. It&#8217;s open 24 hours and has really good food and drinks. I basically live there during exams. There have been many, many papers of mine written within those walls, let me tell you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are so many things to do and see in and around Vancouver (also, I grew up in Seattle so if you&#8217;re planning on making a trip there, I&#8217;d be happy to tell you where to go!) but I don&#8217;t really know your specific interests. If you let me know what you&#8217;re into I&#8217;d be more than happy to recommend more exciting places!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[2]\u00a0Roxy<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Helllo. That&#8217;s awesome that you spent last summer in Warsaw. I was supposed to go to Warsaw last summer and visit my friend but it didn&#8217;t work out and now I am sad. But next time! Also, I&#8217;m half Slovak and I know that Polish and Slovak are pretty similar! Are you fluent in Polish? I can say about 10 things in Czech and Slovak. It&#8217;s extremely pathetic. Anyways, we have a lot of similar interests actually, but the thing that I thought I&#8217;d show you has to do with cooking. So this is kind of a silly, non-fancy food blog. But I like it. I&#8217;ve seen so many things on here that I&#8217;ve wanted to make. It&#8217;s called <a href=\"http:\/\/fattiesdelight.tumblr.com\/\">Fatties Delight<\/a>. I seriously find myself staring at it for long periods of time when I should be doing more productive things. Anyways, if you click any photo, it should redirect you to a recipe. So it&#8217;s really nice to just be able to look through and see what looks good and then you can make it! \u00a0They have especially yummy-looking desserts that I&#8217;ve been wanting to make. Alas, I live in a tiny studio that has a pathetic kitchen and I have no oven so I have to wait until I go home&#8230; lame! Let me know what you think and if you end up making anything!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">[3] Annie<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Trust me, I have the same travel bug as you. I miss living in Europe so much. I need to practice my French more, let me know if you need someone to practice with! I know sometimes its hard to keep it up when you&#8217;re back home. Anyways, I thought I would let you in on my favourite brunch place, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caferegalade.com\/\">Cafe R\u00e9galade<\/a>. It kind of feels like you are back in France. They have the best breakfast\/brunch menu and I&#8217;m pretty sure the management is actually French. Anyways, my favourite thing on the menu is just the Parisian breakfast accompanied by a good old caf\u00e9 au lait. Their blueberry pancakes are also to die for. They get pretty busy on the weekends but they are at 4th and Macdonald so it&#8217;s pretty close to campus if you want to treat yourself to a delicious brunch on a weekday!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Okay how\u00a0embarrassing, every single one of my posts have something to do with food. I am obviously a humungous foodie. I swear I do other things with my life, but recommendations to me always mean food! Hope you guys enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahem: [1] Jairus Okay so this first one is for you.
