A bit of Vancouver

I always tell my friends here that one of the things I miss in Vancouver the most is the 24 hour Blenz downtown. Nothing beats sitting at Blenz chatting for hours never having to worry about getting kicked out at closing. Out of all the coffee shops in Vancouver and even here, Blenz is definitely my favorite. In Japan it is slowly a growing company. When I was here last year, they had about 3 locations. Since then they have grown to about 6 or 7, but they aren't 24 hours! Not many things here are 24 hours. The convenience stores and family restaurants (Denny's, Jonathan's, Saizaria, ect.) are all 24 hours, but the coffee shops are all around 11:oopm. Depending on location they close at different times, but the average is 11:00pm, which completely sucks a huge one.

Anyways! I finally made a trip to one of the better Blenz locations in Tokyo. It's in Yokohama (横浜) near the center area with the amusement park and main shopping centers. If you are reading this and have never been to Blenz, go now, quickly, and get something with chocolate. The chocolate drinks at Blenz are amazing because they actually use REAL chocolate (watch them as they make your drink and you will understand).

I have a new more posts coming real soon, so for now enjoy the pictures from Blenz.
