Hello everyone,

 

My sincere apologizes for not writing for so long!!! I hope everyone's been well :) 

 

So what have I been up to? Well... for the past month, I've been quite occupied with many things both with my academics, extra curricular activities and on campus involvement activities. It's been really hectic because not only do we have to take 6 commerce courses per term but also Commerce students are expected to be active in the community (which means lots of volunteering and sports! ).

 

So the 6 courses I'm currently taking are: 

 

Comm290 Quantitative decision-making and analysis

Comm292 Organizational behavior 

Comm293 Financial Accounting

Comm295 Managerial Economics 

Comm299 Business Communication and Public Speaking 

Comm391 Management Information Technology

 

I'm done with 4 midterms so I only have two more to go J

The upcoming one's Comm295, which is going to be on Monday so wish me luck lol. (I need it! lol)

 

 

Now enough with my silly excuses for not updating for so long!

 

This time I want to take some time to talk about what campus life at UBC is like with focus on FOOD available on campus; yes an essential part of college life lol. Yes I admit I LOVE to spend money on food.

 

So.... the UBC campus is located in Vancouver Canada. The campus is very green and has many buildings that look like historical architecture including the Irving K Learning center library, which looks like one of the typical European or British castles from the 17^th century lol.

 

I'd really like to upload some pictures that I took a couple of days ago but unfortunately I forgot my usb cable for my camera in Japan so I'm unable to upload my pics. (sorry about that). If you're interested you can try visit this site to check out what our campus is like on the UBC website J

 

There are many types of food available on campus; some of which are; Chinese food, Japanese food, Korean food, American food (I'm talking about burgers fries and oily chicken drumsticks) and Russian food. The student population is pretty diverse here so I guess there is demand for many different kinds of cuisines.

There are a fair number of places that offers Japanese food but most of the food they offer, in my opinion, is kind of fake ......(I guess I'm picky with Japanese food because I'm Japanese). Especially with the sushi they sell here,,,,, what bothers me is that the people making the sushi put too much rice under the fish. It sometimes feels as thought I'm eating a rock with some fish. The people making it shape the rice too firmly lol. However, I must say that some of the rolls they have are good. My favorite at the moment is the BBQ eel roll, which is a roll with Unagi, avocado, cucumber and some other fish inside. Considering the prices, the sizes are quite large and satisfying. As economists say, you got to get your "bang for the buck" lol.

Speaking of which, it seems that the people who live here are quite fond of the all you can eat sushi bars here and there are a fair number of them in the Vancouver area. These all you can eat sushi restaurants offer Korean BBQ and sometimes even Chinese food so even if you are not a big sushi fan, I would recommend you visit one of those places if you happen to drop by Vancouver!

 

Thanks for reading

 

Have a great day
