1 month agoHi
We are sorry, but we will be unable to meet you at Tsurga. We had to change our route and will be going to Nagoya instead. We wish you all the best.
If you haven’t yet tried it, one of Sapporo’s signature dishes is soup curry. Totally different from regular Japanese curry. I tried it at a small local chain called Garaku, but I’m sure there are lots of other fine choices.
Bon appétit!
It seems like it’s just a classy country, full of classy people!

1 month agoHi Dodie
My shorts are from a BC company, based in Squamish, called 7 Mesh. The model both Barry and I have is called Glidepath. We like them so much that we also have the slacks….on a trip this is all we bring…one of each. They are lightweight and cool to wear in heat, hand wash and dry fast, fit generously on the leg and hips (a plus for me) and provide good coverage. The founders of 7Mesh used to be part of Arc’teryx but parted ways when Arc’teryx went in a different direction and 7Mesh specializes in bike friendly apparel.
I got so tired of other shorts showing considerable fading and wear after one 3 month trip…so far so good.
There is some sticker shock though…shorts are $170 and pants are $195. I was able to get them both on sale…shorts at Oak Bay Bikes and pants at MEC. Another option is to sign up on their website and you get 15% off.
A bit of trivia…the name 7Mesh is the First Nations name for Squamish.
Sorry to go on, but I do like them. I wear an XL women’s size.
That flower is gorgeous! Look at the colors palette ❤️
