Some Cheescake?
It’s almost summer
time! What does that mean? The days are longer, and the nights are
shorter. Temperatures are going to rise,
and we’re all going to be on our shirts and shorts. More time to go out!
What’s fun to do
during the summer? There’s this little café my friends and I go to called
Cheesecake Etc. What’s so special about it is that they open at 7:00 pm and
close at 1:00 am. They have a piano and sometimes musicians play on it. But
that’s not the main attraction. This place has the best cheesecakes in town!
They offer a variety of cheesecakes (there’s regular ones, chocolate ones, and
many more) that you can treat yourself too. They also offer a variety of
delicious hot drinks that can accompany your cheesecake. (Check out the menu at their website!)
Did I mention the ambiance of the place
is dim and fancy-like?
Where is it
located? It’s not far from downtown. The café is along Granville and 6th
Ave W. If you have a date and you don’t
know where to go, Cheesecake Etc. is a place to go. If you don’t have a date,
then go with your friends!
Have a nice day!

10 Vancouver-Based Instagram Accounts You Should Follow
It cannot be denied that social media has been changing the world in many ways. It has changed our way of communicating, way of learning, and view of the world. According to a recent research, the fastest growing social media platform in the world is Instagram. Because I always see people on transit, at school, and in malls scrolling through their Instagram feed, I have no trouble believing this.
Since social media is an effective source of information and it is popular especially among youth, I have decided to make a list of Instagram accounts that I think would be helpful to new youth immigrants in Vancouver. So if you are on Instagram and want to learn more about Vancouver, here are ten Vancouver-based Instagram accounts that are worth following:
1) Vancouver Aquarium (@vanaqua)
Vancouver Aquarium is the largest and most popular aquarium in Vancouver. Whoever handles their Instagram account is a genius because each post makes you love and care for aquatic animals -- regardless of whether you are an animal lover or not.
2) Vancouver Is Awesome (@viawesome)
Each day, this account features a photo taken by Vancouver residents and tourists. Browse through its posts and you'll immediately see the photos that make Vancouver awesome, which were taken by different people at different places during different times of the day!
