The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
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…

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…
My friends and I were going to Chinook Centre. We, being fat, lazy, and drunk off summer, decided that we were going to watch a movie instead of actually exploring the rest of the mall. Since we’re all highly mature individuals, we chose to watch Madagascar 3. Like a boss. I really loved it. Well,…

Tasmania – A world apart, not a world away. While slouching lazily in the sunlight, embracing the blissful summer breeze that Calgary occasionally offers, in attempt to help my parents figure out the potential locations for the family vacation, I came across a neat article that captivates the readers in a short summary of Tasmania,…
