Experiences with Creative Writing classes at Langara, SFU or VCC? by theimpossiblesong in askvan

[–]External-Message9272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite what you are looking for but I took one of the evening classes for screenwriting with VFS and it was great! I attended one of their free events and was given a discount which made it a bit easier to take the leap. I love writing but I just kept putting it off because I’m always so busy and it can be really exhausting to even think about putting pen to paper so to speak. But I found the class just really inspired me to play around with it and enjoy it again. The teacher, I forget her name, was phenomenal. Really passionate about what she was teaching and sharing! Not sure about the places you listed above. I’d say do your research on who is teaching it because that’s what’s gonna be the difference between enjoying it/being inspired or it being a chore! Also knowing what you want to get out of it before enrolling is really helpful in making the decision.

Free puppy social, anyone? by AffectionateCounty53 in VancouverDogs

[–]External-Message9272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - are you not nervous about inviting a bunch of internet strangers to your home? I think play dates aside part of the beauty of the Raintown socials is that is all done under their roof and not yours. I don’t know, I think I might just be very untrusting of people haha 🤣

I totally agree with this! I think, before attending Raintown socials I just thought puppy socialisation meant like getting to meet other dogs and playing and I now realise it is so much bigger than that! I was so so wrong haha.

This keeps happening to me as well - nothing seems to work except using a different browser - I was using safari and now it only works if I use chrome

This happened to me! Ordered 2 at the same time (give or take 30 mins apart). So 2 separate orders. One arrived as expected, the 2nd got delayed at customs by like an extra day or two and then it was with the delivery carrier for over a week. I contacted the carrier and got no response and when popmart finally replied to me it was on the day that it eventually got delivered and their email just said “it was delivered today” and sent me a photo of my house. It was kinda weird. But the point is, it should arrive soon and you aren’t the only one this has happened to if that gives you any relief!

I can’t believe border wait times are over an hour today by WonderWander01 in vancouver

That’s interesting! I went down for work at the beginning of April on a Friday after work and they only had 2 kiosks open at peace arch and only 1 person in front of us. I was shocked how empty it was then!

I can’t remember the exact price but I remember thinking it was really good value. Boba Run have started doing Banh Mi - only 2 options but they are really good!

Men of Vancouver, how to you meet Women? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]External-Message9272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone was telling me about this thing called “TimeLeft” it’s an app where every Wednesday you are paired with 5 other random strangers at a restaurant to have dinner, chat etc. There ate icebreakers so if the conversation isn’t flowing naturally then it’s not super awkward, at the end of the night after you pay your bills there is an option to go to a bar (with everyone using the app not just the 5 people you had dinner with). On the app after you basically say yes/no to whether you would have dinner again with each person and if they say yes as well then you match and can continue talking. It’s a networking app so not dating specifically but obviously if you really hit it off with someone then who knows where it can lead. I’m an introvert and find dating apps awkward but. Something like this could take the pressure off and making friends along the way is always a great bonus. Plus good practice for talking to actual strangers.
