			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I did something really funny. While I was standing on the corner of Robson and Hornby Street this, I believe American, woman came up to me and asked me for directions while she was on the phone. I told her, take the first one left, again left and another left turn. She thanked me and started walking. I stood there stunned that anyone could fall for the oldest trick in the book. Because left, left and left makes a circle <img src='http://blog.topplaza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . I quickly walked towards a hot dog stand waiting for her to appear around the final corner in order to complete the circle, too bad he didn&#8217;t have a chair and popcorn. After 8 minutes she showed up and halfway she realized something was wrong and she asked someone else for directions. Today I made somebody smile if only it was me <img src='http://blog.topplaza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Absolutely funny. Forgot to take a picture though. Next time. Will probably pull the prank once more <img src='http://blog.topplaza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Bonus picture: right in front of my building the Dalai lama.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1377 alignleft" title="Salvo Coupon on Flickr - Photo Sharing!_1273597922005" src="http://blog.topplaza.com/wp-content/uploads/Salvo-Coupon-on-Flickr-Photo-Sharing_1273597922005-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Well, the title says it all !. Being in Vancouver for a day looks like I was brought up here. People are friendly (has a lot to do with my location) and are willing to help you in any way (even the cops <img src='http://blog.topplaza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> ). As you might have read before I live (rented an apartment through Craigslist.org) in Yaletown and this proved to be an excellent decision. Everything is around me; (grocery)shops, clubs, cafes, coffeeshops (of course not the Dutch ones though the &#8216;culture&#8217; is the same), car rental, Granville Island, the water (very Dutch), the beach (right around the corner) and much more.<br />
<br />
A few days ago I rented a <a href="http://www.ford.ca/app/fo/en/cars/mustang.do" target="_blank">Ford Mustang Convertible</a> (hoping to get it, you know how it goes. I’ll probably end up with a <a href="http://www.dacia.nl/dacia-gamma/logan-mcv/ontdek/index.jsp">Dacia Logan</a>) which I will get this Wednesday to go to <a href="http://www.hellobc.com/en-CA/RegionsCities/VancouverIsland.htm" target="_blank">Vancouver Island</a> for the weekend (my aunts live there). The funny thing is that I got it for 3 weeks for only 300CD. I was very happy (almost as happy when I got <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5di4-hVie8">my first Sony</a>). The drive promises to be amazing. A spectacular 3,5 hour <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_JVfiDFv0I">drive</a> (including the ferry) towards everyone’s favorite weekend destination; Gabriola Island.  Hope the cruisin’ goes well.<br />
<br />
The other day some Chinese coño tried to sell me a prepaid sim-card for 117,50 CD at the Rogers shop on 1392 Robson Street in Vancouver. When I went to Wireless Wave they told me it’s nonsense that an activation fee of at least 100 CD applies. I soon realized I got f*****. After I bought the sim card at another location I went back to the Rogers store and told this Chinese take-away-burger-flippin-whore that I got the simcard from next door without paying that amount of money and that I worked for the VancouverSun (a newspaper based in Vancouver). Clearly I don’t work for them but she realized she did the wrong thing. I walked outside and said the wonderful phrase ‘have a nice day’ (same thing a cop says when he/she gives you a ticket). But this time I meant it <img src='http://blog.topplaza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
<br />
Everytime a purchase is made they *all* ask me if I have a coupon, stupid coupons !. Felt like McCulkin in Home Alone 1 when he buys a toothbrush…….you have a coupon for that? Bloody hell.</p>

Today (Sunday) it&#8217;s all about gathering information regarding mobile phones (and plans), getting a power converter (notebook has a &#8216;thick&#8217; plug), going to get a cup of coffee (not at Starbucks but at Blenz), go for a walk (in the bloody rain) and &#8216;lining up&#8217; properties. Found a few interesting ones through <a href="http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/search/apa/van?query=short+furnished&#038;minAsk=1000&#038;maxAsk=1650&#038;bedrooms=1">Craigslist.org</a> and <a href="http://www.rentersden.com/search?city=Vancouver&#038;numbedrooms=default&#038;numbathrooms=default&#038;minprice=1000&#038;maxprice=2000&#038;aptcondoOption=on&#038;furnishedOption=on&#038;utilitiesOption=on">Rentersden.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Pictures and Videos will be added soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>De <a href="http://www.knmi.nl/cms/nieuws/nieuwsbericht/_rp_column1-1_elementId/1_78825" target="_blank">lente</a> en daarmee samenhangende de <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKAY-veOsK4" target="_blank">zomer</a> staan weer voor de deur ! Eindelijk om weer ergens naar uit te kijken. Heerlijk op het <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Roof_garden_large.jpg" target="_blank">dakterras</a> een borrel drinken…………wacht even…………..zit dan al in Canada! Wordt dus een borrel op het balkon drinken met uitzicht op het imposante <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/show/?q=vancouver" target="_blank">Vancouver</a> !</p>
<p>Je leest het goed, het gaat eindelijk gebeuren. Per 1 mei zal ik voor een aantal maanden in <a href="http://www.123vancouver.com/360-travel-tours/" target="_blank">Vancouver</a> zitten om het een en ander uit te zoeken omtrent <a href="http://canada.businessesforsale.com/canadian/search/Businesses-for-sale-in-Vancouver" target="_blank">business mogelijkheden</a> die weer samenhangen met mijn onderzoeksvraag van mijn scriptie. Gisteren las ik een zeer interessant <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/green-innovation-bill-gross-full-interview-2010-3" target="_blank">artikel</a> over de oprichter van <a href="http://www.idealab.com" target="_blank">IdeaLab</a> waaruit vele (75+) nieuwe bedrijven zijn ontstaan. Zoiets wil ik ook en zal ik ook doen. Maar om eerlijk te zijn dient de focus van het ondernemerschap en haar facetten niet verloren te gaan. Met andere woorden; teveel hooi op de vork leidt onvermijdelijk tot een fiasco.</p>
<p>Met bovenstaand in gedachte zijn er een aantal interessante business mogelijkheden in Vancouver (en überhaupt in Canada) deze zijn ………………. J. Ook interessant is dat ik mijn airmiles (wie spaart die dingen nog…….. zo 2006) a 50.000 stuks heb gebruikt voor het retourtje Vancouver. Een tip is om indien mogelijk met miles te betalen vanuit 2 verschillende accounts, zo omzeil je de ‘dubbele’ belasting van Canada. Heenvlucht zou je met je eigen miles kunnen boeken en de terugvlucht door die van een familielid. Nadeel van het boeken met AirMiles is dat je te allen tijde de belasting over een vlucht betaald. Enige waar ik me zorgen over maak is huisvesting. Zal goed moeten <a href="http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/apa/" target="_blank">zoeken</a> en (gelukkig heb ik familie in de directe omgeving van Vancouver wonen). De huurprijzen midden in het centrum van Vancouver vallen gelukkig enigszins mee. Een appartement van 80 vierkante meter met 2 slaapkamers (heb dus plaats voor het zweeds bikiniteam) inclusief gas, water, electra, internet en tv doet ongeveer zo’n 1200 Euro per maand. Nadeel is dat over alles belasting wordt geheven a 5 procent. Wanneer er je een rekening krijgt of ergens een nieuwe tv koopt is dit altijd zonder de belasting, erg verneukeratief.</p>
<p>Maar goed eerst nog een aantal dagen vertoeven in Barcelona waar we overigens een 4 sterren hotel hebben geboekt voor echt helemaal niks, kregen korting op korting. Lang leve de online <a href="http://www.vergelijk.nl/hotels/" target="_blank">prijsvergelijkers</a> en <a href="http://www.zoover.nl" target="_blank">beoordelings</a> websites.</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;..moet overigens in Augustus weer in <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">London</span> <a href="http://www.westminster.ac.uk/schools/business/undergraduate2/business-and-management/ba-honours-business-management" target="_blank">Harrow</a> zijn voor 5 maanden om mijn studie af te ronden, ontzettend veel zin in <img src='http://blog.topplaza.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://forum.fok.nl/topic/1291961" target="_blank">Canada</a> is nog altijd het land van de onbegrensde mogelijkheden in tegenstelling tot America. <a href="http://en.canoe.ca/home.html" target="_blank">Canada</a> is een nog &#8216;rustig&#8217;, <a href="http://en.epochtimes.com/news/6-7-1/43334.html" target="_blank">vriendelijk</a>, vredig en &#8216;booming&#8217; land. <a href="http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ic1.nsf/eng/home" target="_blank">Zakelijk</a> gezien zijn de kansen vele malen groter dan in Nederland, enige probleem is dat het &#8216;<a href="http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ecic-ceac.nsf/vwapj/FastForward5.pdf/$file/FastForward5.pdf" target="_blank">digitale tijdperk</a>&#8216; niet aan de Canadese man/vrouw te brengen is vanwege hun conservatieve houding. Hier zal ik verandering in gaan brengen ergens volgend jaar! <strong>Wat?</strong> Ga je verhuizen/<a href="http://www.emigreren-canada.nl/" target="_blank">emigreren</a>? Ja dat klopt maar wees niet getreurd pas ergens eind volgend jaar.</p>
<p>Wat er <a href="http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ic1.nsf/eng/home" target="_blank">zakelijk</a> in Canada zal gaan gebeuren is bijna duidelijk, InventiX zal verder worden gezet en hieronder zullen verscheidene initiatieven komen (iets in de wereld van de, digitale, Multi-<a href="http://www.mediaonderzoek.nl/" target="_blank">Media</a>). Het kopen van een <a href="http://www.mls.ca" target="_blank">huis</a> en <a href="http://www.autotrader.ca" target="_blank">auto</a> is een vrij complex gebeuren in Canada gezien het feit dat de bureaucratie ten top is (je zou het kunnen vergelijken met <a href="http://www.rocherouge.fr/nl/columns200607/jul29.html" target="_blank">Frankrijk</a>). Voor het behalen van het <a href="http://www.justlanded.com/nederlands/Canada/Canada-Gids/Reizen-Vrije-tijd/Autorijden-in-Canada" target="_blank">rijbewijs</a> moet er (weer) een theorie test worden afgenomen en dient men af-te-rijden. Tevens krijgt men de L van Loser achterop de ruit geplakt.</p>
<p>Auto&#8217;s zijn daarentegen zeer goedkoop. Even ter vergelijking een nieuwe standaard BMW 335iA Cabriolet kost in Nederland: 72.000 Euro en in Canada 40.000 Euro. Vindt het dus niet zo gek dat daar eigenlijk wel het merendeel van de mensen een &#8216;dikke&#8217; auto rijdt. Het enige wat duur is is de verzekering (verzekeringen zijn in het algemeen vrij prijzig).</p>
