Me and Ryan at the cauldron on my birthday (above the chain-link fence, hehe)

The streets of Vancouver are pretty wild during the Olympics, especially at night. Last night was particularly festive with the Men’s hockey win and a few other medals for Canada. It feels like we’re the only ones not wearing a flag for a cape lol. Pretty awesome though to see the national pride. Now if only I could get "O Canada" out of my head.

Vancouver: Next Noodle BarIt’s our first day in Vancouver and the energy in this city is pretty amazing. But first–my food highlight of the day: an imperial duck roll with avocado and scallions from Next Noodle Bar! The name is pretty self-explanatory, but I can’t figure out the doughy wrapping that pulled this wonderful appetizer together. In any case, I now believe duck and avocado are meant to be.
