New Year Parties 2014

Have you decided how to celebrate your New Year's Eve yet? New Year Parties could get really expensive, but you don't have to break your bank.

8. Vancouver NYE Club Crawl 2014 - 19+

Don't want to stay in one spot all night? This NYE club crawl is aimed at students and starts at the famous Roxy Nightclub, one of Vancouver's hottest nightclubs.

10. New Year's Eve at Robson Square - FREE & All Ages

While the rest of this list is dedicated to Vancouver's decadent/glamourous/crazy New Year's Eve parties, there is one celebration in Vancouver that's free and fun for all ages (and doesn't involve alcohol): New Year's Eve at Robson Square. The free fun includes ice skating, live music, roving performers, and an early countdown for kids.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Have a fun and safe New Year's Eve!

在溫哥華看房子

在溫哥華有很多百萬豪宅（加幣哦！），現在自己當了房屋仲介之後，我可以一棟一棟的去看了！我昨天就把Open house 的名單列出來了，通常在 Main Street 到 UBC 之間的 Open houses 都是在星期二早上舉行，所以如果你想看這地區的房子，最好把星期二早上空出來，不然的話，就要一個個去約時間。

由於現在是接近聖誕節的時間，所以西方人都不太想工作，今早的 Open houses 只有 5 家。今天的前幾家 Open house 都要求脫鞋，進門前，門上貼著 Please remove your shoes ，還好我今天穿的襪子是可以見人的。到了第 4 家， 門上沒有貼要脫鞋，所以我在門關上問了一下，還是要脫，那個仲介是個四五十歲的白人女人，她的態度就沒有前幾家的好，所以我也就快速看完，快速走人。

最後一家是五百四十八萬的豪宅，全新的，在 UBC 附近。挺漂亮的，地板會發熱，窗戶還有遙控器呢！但是這棟在價格上是貴了一點，在這一區有幾棟其他的房子價格定在四百八十幾萬，雖然不是全新的，但也是一年或兩年新。
