The day ends. Today was the last work day here in Vancouver. We will be heading back home tomorrow night, 11pm.

We attended our last meeting with Roy B… (there’s this weekly Thursday team meeting). And btw, during that meeting the fire alarm rang and we all went down the building… Yeah, false alarm.

After lunch we had the last tutorial/lesson/training from Ms. D.. eTrusts and a little VEritas… Then it’s time to go home.. Nader and Sandy said Hi and Goodbye, have a save trip… Then there’s Eric and David, then Edward and Elinore… finally Shiva.

end….

postscriptum..

I was watching SUpernatural when I found out about Samhain or Samhein… If you’re curious, it has something to do with Halloween… Also trying to promote SXSW, the largest musical gathering in the US.

Our sweet and very hospitable and warm hosts took us for our last pasyal on our last weekend stay here in Vancouver.

Tito Ike and Tita Malou drove us to Mt. Seymour and Grouse Mountain then to Capillano Salmon Hatchery… after that we went to Downtown Vancouver (via Lion’s Gate Bridge)

Here are some pictures taken from that weekend…

That’s the ticket booth… You have to pay $35 for the lift.. to get to the sky place

Good God! I’ve been here 2 weeks and I just found out now that two of my most favorite TV shows/series are being filmed here in Burnaby (or in BC at least)… Supernatural and Smallville, which I just recently watched their season premiere episodes, are being shoot here in Burnaby/Vancouver BC Canada! NICE!

Aside from Bryan Adams (and recently found out too, Keifer Sutherland), I am loving Canada more because of Smallville and Supernatural…

Let’s first list some of the places where Smallville shoots alright? I’ll have another post for Supernatural. Need to do some more Googling.

Smallville is filmed at various locations in British Columbia, Canada, with the main studio in Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver. Downtown Smallville is filmed onsite at the town of Cloverdale, just between Surrey and Langley, a close 18 miles from the studio. Downtown Metropolis is located at none other than Vancouver itself.

First off, Burnaby BC (where I’m currently staying, present address):

I surely hope I’ll be able to visit the Burnaby studio one of these days (which by the way is in BB Studios, 6228 Beresford St, Burnaby, BC). Here’s a wikipedia map of the studio and a snapshot map from our office building to the Smallville burnaby Studios.

Soon. I’ll go there… it’s a must for every Smallville fan.. Di na ko makakabalik dito, hehehe, Soon.

Here is utube video (or a yutube video) of some Smallville fans standing outside the Burnaby studios (probably waiting to have a chance and a glimpse of the stars?) See the metrotrain pass by?

I envy them  :)

I wonder if working in vancouver entitles them for the government benefits and insurance (claiming insurance) and stuff.

Geesh, that is one of my longest post title ever!

Are you looking for a place to stay (homestay) here in Vancouver/Burnaby British Columbia, Canada? Perfect!!

I certainly wish that this post and information in here will help someone out there looking for a very nice place to stay (a homestay) here in Burnaby, Canada.

I want to post here my personal experience in homestay. At present I am staying here in British Columbia, Canada, in Vancouver to be specific. Actually, to be more specific still, it’s in Burnaby.

But since the location of the homestay place I’m staying in is in the area of Burnaby commercial district and super near the Boundary (Road) between Vancouver and Burnaby, I can say that I am in Vancouver and Burnaby at the same time… Both are very conviently accessible.

What is Homestay and It’s Advantages?

You probably know what ‘homestay’ is or you wouldn’t be searching for it right? But in case you don’t know, it’s a living arrangement in which a foreigner (a person from foreign land… or internation student or cross trainess) lives with a family in the home.
