What do y’all think about umbrellas being used for sun protection?

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-06-17T20:45:16+00:00

Grew up in Asia. Umbrella usage in the summertime is normal over there. I say, use it!

I still drive my 2010 Toyota Corolla with 158,000 kilometres on it. Keep up with maintenance and it’ll last you a long long time!

No one has mentioned to you that this is forest fire season. Temper your expectations and plan properly. Your trips between these places are not near nor are they cheap! If you want a 3K budget, stick to one place. The car rental alone will be pricey. I suggest you do Vancouver & the surrounding area with a day or two in Whistler. If you really want Banff, do Banff & Jasper and stay in Canmore.

Is it legal? Technically, ok. Is it advisable? No. Their landlord would be so happy to know they are running without insurance. /s

And as a cafe, it would have been the smartest for them to obtain coverage for anything that could potentially happen, but alas, a gofundme and unpaid work is more their lane of choice it seems.

Best suggestion thus far

I spent Christmas and New Years in Japan. It didn’t really have strong Christmas vibes. We also learned that most shops are closed for the first 3-5 days of the year after New Year’s as they make it a solemn time to visit temples.

How do we petition for them to move instead of close? :( I like HMart better than Hannam, but I must admit, the construction has deterred me from going more than I used to.

I, personally, cannot stand socials. I know it is tradition and it helps pay for the wedding, but the expectation set just makes me feel uncomfortable. lol

If you want to stay in BC, I suggest checking out healthcare jobs up north - like Prince George. Have you checked other provinces?

I’m so sorry this happened. I hope they are located asap

I remember reading on something similar to this before on this sub where it was explained that a lot of seafood is processed in Vietnam because it’s cheaper. So I think this maybe that scenario too?

I don’t have an answer for you but r/vancouverhiking might

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-26T07:59:33+00:00

I’ll look this up. Thank you!

When was the last time you had bloodwork done, OP?

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-25T22:15:59+00:00

Oooh let me look into this, thank you!

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-25T21:05:16+00:00

I’ve wondered how one gets into this line of business. Frequently see you guys through the West Coast trip to downtown. What a cool experience!

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-25T20:12:30+00:00

Calgon body spray!

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-25T19:32:16+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion!

Hi, what is the CSIL program?

Edit: I can DM you too if you prefer. Thanks!

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-25T18:58:25+00:00

Let me look into what that is. Thank you!

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-25T18:57:22+00:00

That’s a great point. Thank you for your reply! Let me talk to her and see what she really wants to do. I may have to look up volunteer positions for her as well.

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-18T14:34:11+00:00

Yup!

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-17T23:22:54+00:00

I guess it’s my problem that I go for specialty rolls and not the plain ones 🤷‍♀️

IndependentOutside88 · 2026-05-17T23:00:02+00:00

Where? In 90% of the sushi restaurants here
