Canada Line opened today in Vancouver

The grand opening for the Canada Line was busy, lots of families, kids and tourists. It was expected, but I thought it would be much quiet late in the afternoon, not so.

I arrived at the Waterfront station at 5:15, I stood in line for about 25 minutes, I got on one of the trains at 5:30pm and 28 minutes later, I arrived at the YVR Station. Trasnlink advertises it as a 25 minutes ride, I would say it is accurate. At some stops, we stationed longer than normal.

The trains are roomy, lots of space to accommodate your belongings, if you are a traveller. Lots of bars to hold on, perhaps too many. The doors appear wider. The seats are comfortable, nice for napping or reading in the train.

Networking, so essential in your everyday activity

Another book recommended for reading. Once you read it, you will realize that Networking is a big part of your everyday life, part of making friends, finding a job, develop your leadership skills.

The book shows you how to talk to people, develop your communication skills. Forget the typical conversation, that goes like this:

A: "Hi, how are you?"
B: "Good"

A: "What is new?"
B: "Not much"

A: "Good"
B: "We'll talk later..."

After you read this book, you will have plenty to say when your friends or someone asks you, "What's new?"

Mistakes smart salespeople make

An informative book that you should read, you do not need to be in the sales business, you can apply the tips in your everyday life. A chapter is dedicated to salespeople, but mostly for anybody. Avoid the mistakes smart people do. I read it thoroughly. You can purchase it from Chapters book store or on Amazon

It's being ages since i walked the streets of downtown

Yesterday, that was July 1st - Canada Day, since i have some time now to visit friends, places, i took a nice walk in downtown. Things have changed in the past couple of years. At the corner of Davie and Hornby street, there is a public garden, it's so nice to see it, surrounded by high rises.

On another note, if you are into gardening or growing vegetables for yourself, you could get a lot from these public spaces.
