I was able to speak with “Alley Burger Mike” about this interestingly named truck and was quite delighted to hear that they try to get everything local and natural. Their truck was local and they even found a Calgarian graffiti artist to design their truck! Below is the video that Eat St. created, followed by my own…
It’s finally summer time! With the glaring sun and the intolerable heat, it is a perfect time for Snoberry Ice’s refreshing, fluffy mountain of shaved ice, topped with lots of yummy goodness! Snoberry Ice offers different flavors of shaved ice, such as strawberry, mango and vanilla (Original), as well as a whole variety of delicious…
Earlier this week I came across this crazy magic video online – Look how fast everything is done! While there are some tricks you can kind of figure out (especially if you look at the comments), it’s still amazing to me to see all the crazy quickness with which it’s done! I love magic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFilLZIDJak&feature=player_embedded…
Nothing speaks to Calgary culture more than the good ‘ol Calgary Tower. Alternatively named “The Husky Tower,” it was in fact, the tallest tower in Calgary for a grand total of 15 years. Here’s my capture of it, right outside the Youth Central office building. If you look closely, you can see the flame burning.
French street artist JR uses his passion for art to bring change to developing countries. I wish for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we’ll turn the world… INSIDE OUT
While all my friends are hanging out at Stampede, and having fun in the great outdoors, I’m at home, glued to the computer. All alone, without any contact from the outside world… really, it’s not as bad as it seems. I have the internet. My life would be nothing without the internet. So, what do…
“Bats frighten me… It’s time my enemy shared my dread.” As everyone waits for the next Batman movie to come out, I decided to rewatch the first two movies, Batman Begins and the Dark Knight and do a review on them to see what they did well and what to expect in the Dark Knight Rises.…
Have you ever sought out new music and wanted it to be similar to your favourite artist, and you were too much of an interactive person to wade through the long loading times of iTunes? Simplicity and ease of access is a major factor when it comes to music hunting. Well there are many sites…
I’m still in Kerala (a southern state of India) during my summer vacation and I’ve been seeing some great sights – definitely worth sharing with the web! This photo shows beautifully the Basilica of Our Lady of Dolours which is claimed to be the biggest and tallest church in Asia. It is a five-minute drive from…
Guess what guys? It is finally SUMMER VACATION! It is time to throw some of that stressful homework assignments and exams behind your head and take a break. Whether you are looking to stick an umbrella in the sand, or sip drinks by the pool or even hike some hills, here is a comprehensive list…
One of the greatest experiences that Alberta has to offer is the many farmers’ markets spread around the province. These markets are the best place to do many different actions at the same time – you support local farmers and artisans while also getting some of the best food in Alberta! Last Saturday I visited…
[youtube ydmE75YAEcE] A Dutch artists duo, Lernert and Sander, created this video with a goal “to apply 365 layers of makeup in one day to see how much is needed to go from a natural look to an outrageous one,” and to show that the common myth of ‘Make-Up is beautiful’ isn’t necessarily true. This model in the…
Did you know the first Stampede breakfast was served from a chuck-wagon in downtown Calgary in 1925? Whether you like pancakes or not, it is inevitable that you will encounter a Stampede breakfast during the Stampede week. That irresistible fresh smell of pancakes urges you to join the long line-up. While pouring some golden brown syrup to…
So in my last post, I talked about the resort we stayed at — Las Morlas, and visiting the tallest bridge in Cuba (I won’t repeat the name just because I can’t spell it). But now, I’m gonna talk about touring Havana; the capital of Cuba. The drive from Las Morlas to Havana was around…
I love Wongfu Productions. I love all their sketches, shorts, series, every Wongfu Weekend, every music video. Everything. (Okay probably not everything, but close enough). In fact, if the three guys from Wongfu – Wes Chan, Ted Fu and Phil Wang – morphed into one amalgamation of a human being, I would probably marry that person. I’m…
