Toronto vs. Vancouver (Fireworks)

My life has always been in two cities.
Vancouver with my family in between semesters.
Toronto whenever I have school and work terms.

Having lived in both cities, I have experienced both sides of the country and wow...what a difference there is even though we're in the same country :) ~~~

FIREWORKS

 Both cities have Canada Day. And both cities celebrate with FIREWORKS at that day.
What about the other days?

Apparently, Victoria Day for Ontario. WHY? What's so fun about Queen Victoria that we have to blow up money for? WHY!? I don't understand. Who actually celebrates Victoria Day? I don't undersatnd....

In Vancouver, we blow up money with fireworks during Halloween. Doesn't that make more sense? lol....it's when kids are out on the streets, having fun, trick-or-treating, and teenagers going nuts about the day. Way more fun. Come on Torontonians, Victoria Day? ...come on....

Provence Marinaside Restaurant

VANCOUVER

Said it was a French restaurant, but it really wasn't. Great seafood, just like anything you'd expect from the West Coast.

We got all the food suggested by Urbanspoon, including the Warm Goat Cheese Salad. You don't really taste the goat, but the cheese was perfect. Lots of random complementary appetizers, which had us try different sauce.

For the main course, we got the Grilled Halibut and the Bouillabaisse. Grilled halibut was nothing spectacular. The halibut is itself a great fish. The bamboo rice wasn't that great, since we're Asian and we eat rice all the time.

Bouillabaisse was the best! Absolutely spectacular. The sauce they told us to add into the dish was amazing. It felt like all the seafood combined into one cup of sauce. The broth didn't go to waste. We dipped our bread in it. Total came out to be about $95, but it was worth it. Service was amazing. No disappointment there.

Def. will go again.
