I'm from Vancouver, and I am so glad you went to Daiso... such a fun place!

I live in Van. Need something? I'll send it to you (reasonably) because I get 1/2 off shipping rates at work. Maybe we can trade? Maybe I can overnight you a Timmy Ho's donut.

I know! Nope, I didn't get any special medicines, I'm way too chicken.

You went to a Canadian drug store and didn't get tylenol 3s?

Daiso is great. :)
There is a smaller one (but still fun!) on the metro level of the Westlake Center here in Seattle. It opened not too long ago.

ah mentos flavors sweeping the globe! the grapefruit ones are kinda like 'BLEH...hey, wait, these are pretty good'. I've blogged about them this past summer, feel free to pop by and see my take on them. plus there were strawberry yogurt ones !

effaclar K? but your skin looks blemish free!

I'm planning on going up to Canada sometime this year, so very interesting to see what gems are waiting across the border.

also, very sad about lack of Dairy Queens. One just closed nearby, but we still have one in Maple Valley - across the street from a Shakey's pizza (another dying franchise).

I'm amazed that you can't find pink grapefruit Mentos. They are so GOOD!

LOVE lego star wars!! My husband is a big SW nerd and collector, and I am a somewhat closet nerd. But as a kid I loved legos, so he buys all the sets (that aren't too expensive) for me and I put them together with glee. The video game rocks-- they blow up into a million lego pieces...so cute!! I play while eating my mini eggs. And-- Cadbury IS different in the US (made by hershey), I'm not sure about Canada.

Ooh, Daiso -- so fun!
My husband took me there last time we were in Vancouver, and it was amazing! I have a super cute hot pink lunch bag with a white rabbit on it from there.

Also: when you work right next door to Tim Hortons, the novelty wears off very, very quickly.

And I *heart* mini-eggs, too.
