Attention Canucks!

Dear graye, spicyeggplant, malahat, and crew,

Like, what should I bring?

Obviously I should grab some toiletries (plenty of contacts this time unlike wideathtrip), camping supplies, and clothing. What's the dress code for the time spent there? I want to hit one of the ``finest sushi in the world'' joints, and otherwise see what the area has to offer. Barring any crazy place like the Safehouse where I should dress in a particular way, what's the norm? Camping, obviously, I can dress down for.

What else should I bring along?

jenniever, what's the dress code for our side of the border? I know you've got relatives and friends and all these random people we're staying with/visiting/whatever. Will they drag us out to black-tie affairs? Should I bring my shiny fancy proper shoes at all? What's the dress code for the Microsoft campus? I think one of my suits needs dry cleaned.

Is there anything from this location, the center of the universe, that people might want exported by hand? Bagels and pork roll won't make it to Vancouver, much less Victoria.

birkenstocks and sushi

[infraredelf.livejournal.com]

You will, of course, be required to wear birkenstocks with wool socks the entire length of your stay. Anything else would be incredibly offensive to the locals. graye has a lovely pair of half-clogs to go with his cargo shorts and wool sweater. Bring something wool or windproof for camping.

Victoria is exceedingly casual for dress. The sushi joint I was thinking of is a bit on the shabby side, but makes what seems to be some of the best sushi in town at a decent price. And they have a Chirashi bowl on the menu, which I believe I've heard you go on about before.

*whew* I thought I was going to have to wear suspenders and hats with those little ear flaps the whole time.

Sounds like I'll be sticking to my usual slacks/shorts/t-shirts while up there. For camping, I was planning on bringing a light windbreaker and my thick trenchcoat with zip-out lining.

And yes, thank you, I'm a huge fan of Chirashi. Chirashi and all you can eat joints make kingfox a happy camper. I'm looking forward to it.
