[CROSS POSTED from Dogma Radio] Barb and I don't go out dancing nearly as much as we did before the baby's birth, so this event (Edie Hats Grand Re-opening/Parisian Hat Party) was an unexpected delight!

This is (or is it 135 Rock Street) where we lived for 12 years. I wish there were higher resolution photos.

When I lived in south west Germany, lots of the northern Germans living there had a similar complaint. And sometimes, I feel that way here too in BC, but really the regional differences between Vancouver and other Canadian cities are not as pronounced as the ones in Europe; the real differences here are between urban (which is most of the Canadian population) and non-urban (which is where a lot of the distinctive Canadian culture comes from).

Every once in a while, one gets the impression, that we are a little town in the enemy's domain, similar to Asterix and Obelix.... ;-). I am a north German working and living in south Germany. It might be unbelievable, but I still do not understand the German spooking in Baveria and it is not making it simpler, that every town speaks its own dialect...
