Being from the Motorcity, I pay a lot of attention to cars. Since coming to Richmond, I’ve made observations while I have been here and I’ve come to the conclusion that being brand-loyal doesn’t seem like a big thing here.

For the vegetarians/vegans in Richmond:

I just tried a great new chinese takeout place. China Panda, on Sheppard St, is owned by the same family that own’s Panda Garden, and serves the same chinese fare. However, what sets this apart from the other chinese establishments in the area is it doesn’t have solely bean curd dishes for vegetarians. It has mock meats as well! That’s super exciting to me at least.  I ordered the Mock General Tso’s Chicken. It was fa-bu-lous. Its relatively priced and quickly made. For $6, its worth a try, right?

The amount of drivers that honk at bikers would make you believe that they were in the right. However, most of the time….you’d be wrong in believing that.  This past weekend I was a victim of one such annoyed car driver.

Today I had my first experience of boba. For those of you who, like myself, had never tried or heard of boba let me give you a word of advice: go out and try it…..now.
