Urbanears Plattan Black Unboxing



comes with 2 adapters: nokia + neutral

headphones, adapter, catalog, box

cord comes out from left side

chose black because it won't get dirty
tight fit so pushes towards your ears and feels a bit uncomfortable
inexpensive and lots of colors to choose from
would love it more if able to adjust volume
iphone compatible, can answer calls
bass is not bad
so far so good

What8ver Cafe
1108-8328 Capstan Way
Richmond, BC V6X 4B6
(778) 297-5992

visited on a saturday night

The Good
-food is the right sweetness
-decent prices with good quality (not so sure if they will follow other bbt places where the quality drops after a few months of opening)
-closes at 3am
-friendly staff, they will definitely see you since the place is small unlike other places which take forever to get some attention

The Not So Good
-limit of 90 mins of table (can't rmb if its 90 or 120) (posted on wall beside each table)
-even though there's a lot of staff, the drinks came later than the food which already took 15+ mins prep (but guessing that they finish the take out first)
-not a lot of tables of so best to make reservations and toast may sell out so ask before hand to make sure they have it
-can't fit large groups, probably 8 is max for their only big table
-their prices include HST which got confusing when trying to split the bill

-a place that will definitely revisit (hoping that they will expand since there's only 5-6 tables inside, 2 outside)

McDonald's Buttermilk Biscuit Breakfast

-what's better than free food
-McDonald's is trying to promote their new Buttermilk Biscuit Breakfast so they're giving them out for free
-offer is between Feb 9-10 and its only during breakfast hours
-but its a total of 590 calories
-i like it because i love sausage and egg McMuffin and with the biscuit on the outside, it's easy to bite in
