away from home

Hello, Raincouver!

I started getting used to the constant rain in Vancouver, the facet of city life that gave rise to Vancouver’s alt-name: Raincouver.

My first month as a Singaporean in Canada was bittersweet. Imagine coming down with food poisoning with so many things to settle!

Vancouver has plenty of nature and parks, but none is like New Brighton Park in East Vancouver. The hidden gem is barely a 20 minutes walk from PNE!

Short walks around the neighbourhood during the stay home era meant discovering more blossoms, especially as we march into spring in Vancouver!

Here are the flowering sights in Vancouver, spring 2020, right before the city went into stay home mode.
