This guy ducks

The valets for the restaurant next to me just use all the metered street parking in front of our building. Imagine paying someone $20 to put $5 into a parking meter 100 feet away.

It’ll vary depending on the city, but generally not. Finding something affordable near downtown Toronto or Vancouver will be next to impossible, while in smaller cities like Edmonton, Calgary, or Ottawa, it will just be really, really hard.

This was in the early summer, but I’m pretty sure it’s a year-round event.

One of the coolest things I saw in Osaka was a monthly flea market held on the grounds of Shitennoji Temple. It’s a pretty big temple so there were a lot of vendors. I spent the better part of the morning eating amazing food and browsing through old games and records, vintage clothes, and all sorts of other old stuff. I ended up getting some old woodworking tools, a couple of wooden serving platters, and a copy of Dragon Quest V.
