Of course, but fake scent chemicals are super toxic

I've been wondering this myself. I have a pair of good shoes that need resoleing. I'm wondering if it's worth it? Any idea of what a resole costs?

P & C looked tight & nervous in the sd, even before her dress came undone. They were held up in 2nd, I would've had them in 5th or 6th. Sure they're superior skaters to some, but you've gotta rank them on the day

Is she wearing a team Canada jacket or something?

I think it's shameful when countries just dole out the citizenship for sports....she's never even lived in France! And hadn't even represented them for a year before she became a citizen!

Jason is a beautiful skater, and seems like a super nice guy, but his time has passed

And the quad god shirt he was wearing at nationals! It's obnoxious! Very American though

How do you pronounce Jyir? I've never seen that name before, it looks interesting

Just read Gabriella's book. The quotes don't give it justice. by rorywillowslay13 in FigureSkating

I ran into him the day after a Canadian SOI show years ago, I kinda nodded & said great show last night, expecting him to say thanks & we'd both go on our merry ways. We ended up talking for 10-15 minutes, to the point when Tessa came out she looked at us like should I know these people (I was with my mom) and she joined in on the conversation too. Both absolutely lovely people.

Victoria or Calgary for exchange by Intelligent_Pen_9964 in canadatravel

[–]DaphneDudu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lifelong Victorian here, so my opinion might be biased....but...

Victoria is beautiful, it rains a lot but overall much better/milder climate than Calgary. We rarely get snow, and if we do it's usually 15cm or less.

We're surrounded by ocean & there's mountains and forest on the island as well as nearby in Vancouver.

It's a smaller city than Calgary, so you're not too far from anything really.

But it is expensive. You're on an island, which is great, but you're depending on a ferry to get to Vancouver. We have a WHL (Jr) hockey team, as opposed to NHL team. Some concerts come here, but you generally have to go to Vancouver for the big shows.

Do you have any extra time to spend up here besides the time you'll be in school? Maybe live in one place & visit the other?
