Apple Store, The Source, wires, veggies, busy Yaohan, CNY

When Teunis got up, we talked about banking and storage... no Surrey today because of traffic concerns, but food shopping around here sounds good! I also got an email from Christon about some Yaletown artists event taking place on the 12th - THANK GOODNESS I HAVE AN EXCUSE FOR THAT! (Awana - and if afterwards, GOING HOME TO CHILL!) Says he's praying that the weather holds up - well, it's not like we're going to experience a massive snow dump like the States is right now! (fingers crossed!) It's in ten days - no need to pray so hard (or at all) right now, friend! Hahahaha!

Among other things before leaving, Teunis and I also talked about The Source / Future Shop / the Apple store / Best Buy ("they've completely RUINED my ability to search for actual parts!!!!") / stores for actual electronic parts like transistors / his mixer board / actual milk / the CBC musical variety / Great Big Sea / Betelguese / the news. We went to check out an electronics shop across the street from the mall, which he said was useless because they sold cellphones. Then we checked out the Apple Store in the mall (dodging the perfumes at Sears) anyway, simply because he'd never been to one. (neither have I - lots of shiny iPhones, iPods, iPads, and more technology!) He talked to one guy about programming stuff (for the Android, too), then we went to The Source to see about the wires and (shielded) cables which he needed.

The associate there seemed pretty amused that Teunis was using parts in unconventional ways, haha. We talked about history, violence, war, Mandarin / Cantonese / language study / LONG historical test runs, Japanese, Korean, the City Hall building, Kaili, computers, dropping things, and more on the way to the EXTREMELY busy Yaohan Mall! Yep, Chinese New Year is coming up in two days - the gold and red decorations were nice, though! Discussed price differences, parking lots, illegally-stopped cars, bills, money, help, eggs, soy milk, MeltyKiss candies (green tea / white chocolate / strawberry), oyster mushrooms, dance class in New Westminster, repairs, Asian veggies, food supplies, almonds / cashews / mixed nuts vs. meat, protein, and more.
