The Gastown Steam Clock is back!

For some weeks the space was empty... not anymore! The Gastown Steam Clock is back!


This is one of the rare clocks that work powered by steam engine.
You can see the smoke all the time!


More informations about the clock here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_clock

Push or Pull?

When you say "push" out loud in Portugal, everybody will think that you are "pulling" the door.
We write "puxe", but we speak like push in english.


So for me it has been a challenge to push when it is to push!

I think in a natural way we never hit if it's push or pull, even if it is written and EVEN if it is in portuguese! =)

Good luck!

Music Mall

Well, it is not a music mall but I felt like that:


Choose your floor:

Drums and percussion? Ground Floor!
Pianos? Second Floor!
School? Third Floor!
Easy right?

I went there today and it felt like a music world. I remember to see in Paris a lot of music stores in the same street. And most of them specialized, like just a piano store, then just a drums store...

But here is different. It's organized and is all inside the same building.

Wow!
