| Vancouver dogs live better than most humans. What does this say about their owners? 14 yoga students have auctioned off a photo collage in the form of the lower third of India. Donations go to an ashram (a place of work) in one of the poverty-stricken states in India. The students are at the ashram from November into January, where they will be practicing yoga that is different from North American practices and the living situation will be no relaxing holiday. If you've moved to Shakira's Hips Don't Lie, you've danced to the Reggaeton beat which is often compared to the contagious hip hop beat. What is Reggaeton and where does it come from? Reggaeton, a popular Latin American music and dance movement is making its way into Canada. Here's how Vancouverites can adjust to its rhythms. You might remember the voice of Tetsuro Shigematsu. He was the first host of color to host a daily network broadcast on CBC Radio's national afternoon show, The Roundup. Since then he's branched out and his first feature film, Yellow Fellas appeared.
Tetsuro Shigematsu shows a side of the Asian male, that subverts the stereotypical Kung Fu fighter or the immigrant whose first language is not English. 'Yellow Fellas' is an offbeat comedy and revolutionary, in how it could change the public perception and representation of Asian males through cinema. Vancouver is known as the fourth best city and has been rated as the top city to live in. Meanwhile, the downtown East side, just a few blocks away from the city core, is shocking for tourists and scathed at by many. The Vancouver public and residents and workers of the downtown East side shared solutions on how to ameliorate the homeless situation at the 'Grand March for Housing', an event that took place across British Columbia. |
