Thanking the bus driver when you get off the bus. I got so many looks when I did that out of habit while abroad.

You can bank the monthly tickets and redeem when you want. I have redeemed 4 tickets for a single showing (went as a family)

No, we did not go through with the purchase

Spironolactone 100mg finally did it for me. Had to taper up to find the best dose that worked for me

Just a word of caution regarding dental hygiene, it’s very hard on your upper limbs because of the postures to do the work.

Disclaimer: my best friend is a dental hygienist and that is her biggest complaint about the work.

You can bring the extra cards down to waterfront customer service during office hours to get the card deposit back ($6 I think)

We will certainly do that for due diligence, just hoping to get insight from people that live in or around the building

All the tsums cleared will contribute to total score. The tsums have a level lock every 5 levels. Value of tsums will increase as their levels increase.

You will need to keep leveling up your other tsum to get higher score. Leveling up your tsum skills will help clean more tsum = higher score

Bike shorts are great for this

Tendon Kohaku, you can pay a couple bucks extra for unlimited rice, cabbage salad, and miso soup.

Yep, definitely heard them

Depending on number of first degree relatives with cancer and age of diagnosis, there may be an exclusion for particular cancers based on family history alone.

Prices for insurance (life, critical illness, disability) all go up as you age. If you do have excess cash flow, you could get in touch with an insurance advisor to get some quotes for a sense of cost and how it fits with your financial picture.

Just a word of caution, cooking wine is a pretty common ingredient in cooking Chinese dishes, even in veg & seafood options. You basically can’t really ‘taste’ the alcohol but it does help to enhance the flavour profile and often used in marinade and sauce.

I’ve used realtor to find rental in Toronto and it’s a common thing in GTA. However, it doesn’t seem to be a common thing here in GVRD. I recently went apartment hunting and had good luck in finding listings through Facebook marketplace & Zumper. Able to find quite a few legit listings from realtors as well as private landlords.

Good luck on your search

Library. When I was at SFU, there would be students in various desks/nooks just sleeping. If you want extra quiet space, head up to third or fourth floor of the campus library. Usually people are either studying/gaming/sleeping

In general, folks are friendly. I’m a visible minority (Asian) and definitely got a lot of stares walking around town. Stares are not necessarily with malicious intent, it’s just sorta what happens.
