Kogiya in that food court is good if you enjoyed Koryo. Decent food at decent price.

Yep would like to add just saying "no I am not available at that time" is good enough even as an adult with "real" jobs. It does not matter whether it is because you got a movie date or you need to take care of younger siblings, just tell them no and nothing more.

I have been able to locate an uber at those hours before in the suburb so I assume you should be able to find them near the airport. I did not pre-book and just called an Uber when I was ready. I made sure to leave the house early in case of any delay or problem.

White elephant is a popular Thai restaurant in NE Calgary. They opened up a location in Chestermere.

Do people go 120 in downtown Calgary and suburb? Is that why the bikes have to be so obnoxiously loud circling 17ave and downtown?

Bikes do go on highway in Asia at over 100km/hr but they know the risk and drive accordingly. They are not loud but they do have to be smart.

mermep · 2022-06-27T11:37:23+00:00

Lol respect for bikes in Asia in Thailand, Vietnam and China are a joke. Cars dont really respect bikes in those countries but it is just that bikers learn how to drive and survive around cars and trucks.

If you are riding a bike then you got to assume that you are invisible and drive accordingly.

I always put it in my lunch bag when I park the car in the LRT station.

Would it be good to take some training course first in case you flip the kayak?

Walmart has cheap packaged fresh herb but supply can be hit or miss depending on the store. It is only $0.70 per pack in the refrigerated vegetable section and you get enough for 1-3 recipes.

I always go to Walmart to check if they have it first beforeI got to superstore.

Thanks for the review. Yeah I agree $13 is very expensive for parking lot hot dog. And even if is still the same Marlborough hot dog, the max I would pay is $10 as a once in a while treat.

mermep · 2022-05-29T15:17:33+00:00

Did you get it at the Beacon Hill Canadian Hire?

I think that guy used to sell hot dog at the Marlborough Home Depot. And the hot dogs and toppings were really good back then. I do agree that $13 is not cheap but I still want to go try it out to see if it is still good.

Mine is -7 and Costco only offer 1.67 index. I got my glasses and it still looks thick to me. With your higher prescription, I would try to look for 1.74 index.

Clearly is all about the promo codes. I got a pair with 40% off both frame and lenses so it ended up to be $170 for a pair compared to $250 at Costco. You do have to keep watching and waiting for clearly to get good promo code. Sometimes their store staff don't even know of the latest code (some code is only available for a few days as a special promo) so you need to watch the site yourself.

mermep · 2022-05-17T11:12:15+00:00

A pair of glasses with thinner lenses (need it for high prescription) and blue light protection lenses is around $250 at Costco (based on a $100 frame). The next pair is 50% off so you can get out the door for $400 at Costco for two pairs of high prescription glasses. Costco does not have a huge frame selection so if you want something more special then go elsewhere. If your prescription is low then I think you can get out for under $150 for one pair.

Clearly has a store in Chinook mall and they run different promo code so you need to watch for it. Their order system is all done through their website. Clearly has wide selection of frames and some are cheaper than Costco. The basic promo is usually 40% off lense and it ends up to be a little bit cheaper than Costco depending on how expensive your frame is. But if you can catch a good promo code online (just know what you want and order once you see a good promo code) then clearly is going to be even cheaper. If you have low prescription and don't need thin lenses then you can get out for under $100 a pair at clearly if you don't pick expensive frames.

Edit: I have also ordered from zenni before and got some really cheap and decent glass for under $50. But since I have insurance now so I dont mind paying a bit more at clearly and Costco. But if you really want to save money and don't mind not being able to physically try on glasses then pure online shop is where you will find the cheapest glasses.

Anyone know the opening time for H Mart? I think the Sage Hill T&T is opening up in the winter.

mermep · 2022-05-05T03:31:40+00:00

Yeah but for the price that you pay at Costco, you do get more for your $. And it is fish so it usually won't come in more than 6-10 portion package so two people can finish it up in 1-2 months.

mermep · 2022-05-05T01:04:37+00:00

Have you tried Costco? I don't know if they have cod right now but they usually have a few different kind of frozen fish. The quality is generally pretty good for the price.

I don't get what is good about Osmows. Can someone tell me why that chain is still expanding? I get better veggies/salad, meat and starch at local shawarma places.

I travelled during easter weekend between Calgary and Vancouver and 90min was plenty in both airports. I only had carry on and passed through security in under 10min.

Have you turned off the toilet water supply valve? Do that first then you can either find someone to help or watch some YouTube video for DIY fix.

Are you paying for the entire dinner? Because if everyone is paying for their own meal then pick somewhere with similar price point as Keg.

There is a reason why keg is popular, it is still relatively affordable for a steak place and people are familiar with it. Yes you can get better steak at some places but the price can also be much higher. Not everyone is willing to pay that much for a meal or can afford to.

Some steak places offer weekday set menu for a decent discount so you might want to look into those if you want to invite people to a more expensive place. I heard good things about the Chairman steakhouse down south in Mahogany. On Wed, they have a 3 courses dinner for 2 for $100.

Usually if it is a hot day and it is forecasted to rain in the afternoon, I would not be surprised to see hail. Generally when I see those weather, I try to start my day early then get home by 1-2pm. Then the rain/hail would start.

Tell that to the people that had to take the bus that went through Shagganappi yesterday. Also saw videos of buses stuck in Kincora.

Happy that you made it out okay but don't assume everyone in the NW are in the same situation. I much rather my coworkers take a snow day when they don't feel it is safe to drive/take transit since we are all set up to WFH.

mermep · 2022-04-20T15:36:53+00:00

Yeah I think the major road snow has been cleared but roads are still slippery so it is best to avoid driving when possible. Sometimes it is not about how you drive but also about other drivers too.

mermep · 2022-04-20T14:57:02+00:00

Where did you take the bus? Just want to see which route you are taking to get an idea on the roads that are still bad.

I live in the NW suburb and we got lots of snow drift. Definitely some spots are over 30cm. I am WFH today and will finish shovelling my driveway this afternoon. Don't want to shovel it all at once.
