- [Gunnarolla] Hey everyone Gunnarolla here and
today we're packing up our bags and
heading to Vancouver for a weekend
getaway with the Asian Snack Squad.
(groovy music)
- [Sylvia] Good morning!
- Good morning!
- Where are we off to?
- We're going to Vancouver.
- Have you been before?
- Uh, I've been once, my friend used to live there,
so I went to go see her, that's really bright!
- I know, why is it just like that?
- Hi, here I am.
- We are gonna see some sites, we are gonna eat.
- Lots of food.
- And, were gonna have tons of fun.
- Yeah!
- [Gunnarolla] Vancouver is normally a five hour flight from
Toronto but today we're taking seven because of the weather.
(whirring)
(upbeat music)
- [Gunnarolla] Vancouver is one of my
favourite cities in the world, its got
that laid back, west coast vibe with
beautiful mountains views and some of the best
sushi on the continent.
Who better to explore this city with than the Asian
Snack Squad.
Every good getaway starts with a great hotel,
and this weekend we'll be staying at the
Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre.
A centrally located modern
hotel with some incredible views.
- We made it to Vancouver!
(all cheering)
- I'm so pumped to get rid of these bags.
- [Gunnarolla] Yeah, the ones under my eyes are the ones
that are bands because I'm pumped to get rid of both.
- [Man] Hello?
(high pitched awwing)
- [Man] Oh, they prepped it for you!
- Andrew welcome to the Wall Centre hope you enjoy
your stay with us, if you require any assistance,
please do not hesitate to reach out to our team,
P.S hope you enjoy your welcome basket.
- [Man] It's us!
- [Gunnarolla] So who's the wasabi, who's sriracha?
(everyone chatters)
- [Gunnarolla] I'm a little spicy.
(everyone chatting)
- [Gunnarolla] Oh, oh my god.
(chatter)
- [Man] Thank you Sheraton, Thank you Sheraton Wall Centre!
- [Gunnarolla] Do you like smell how like fresh this air is.
(chatter)
- [Istiana] Ocean and mountain air mixed together.
- [Gunnarolla] Yes!
- [Terry] Plus Sylvia's perfume, mmm!
(all laughing)
- [Gunnarolla] Why don't you tell me about this outfit.
- So, it just says thank you, enjoy,
you're gonna enjoy with your eyes not with your hands.
(laughing)
- [Gunnarolla] So, we're in the north tower
of the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre,
they're gonna take us to the roof.
Top?
- Rooftop.
- Bar?
I don't know.
- We're going up to the roof, that's all we know.
Let's go check it out!
(upbeat music)
- [Gunnarolla] Alright we're getting a behind
the scenes here.
Behind the scenes.
When they were telling us we were going
to the roof, I envisioned a rooftop bar,
but it turns out that they had something
a little different planned.
- This is amazing!
I am taken aback.
This is my favourite thing, like, sunsets, the view.
You guys!
- [Terry] How do you feel right now?
- I feel incredible.
The air here is so fresh.
These views.
- [Terry] Air is fresh, your
skin is fresh, your face is fresh.
- Nobody gets access up here and they're taking
us on an exclusive little tour.
- We're in the club lounge, you
can only get access to this place
if you book a room on the club floor, or you have status.
Let's take a look!
- I already grabbed a cookie.
- [Gunnarolla] So we've got snacks here,
and here, and here.
We've got cookies, my favourite.
And at 5 o'clock they have hors d'oeuvres.
- This is 24 hours, like, I'm gonna be here munchin' out.
- [Sylvia] I should probably drink more water.
- This exposure.
- Oh man, that top lighting is awful.
- Good morning, it's a new day
and we are going to check out the fitness center.
And hopefully they have something to fix our camera here.
- And yeah, this top lighting situation needs to change.
- Yeah, let's get a workout in!
- [Gunnarolla] The fitness center at
The Sheraton is pretty impressive with
a heated indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna,
and all the gym equipment and weights you could need.
We set ambitious fitness goals this year,
and even though we're traveling,
it's great to be able to fit a workout in,
even if it's a little painful in the moment.
- Oh my god!
- Alright, out on Robson Street,
we are going to head to Ebisu for some food.
Where's Terry?
- [Sylvia] We lost him!
- There he is, alright, let's go!
- [Gunnarolla] Robson Street is where you'll
find a ton of shops and restaurants.
Vancouver is big on happy hour and
tonight we're heading to Ebisu
for some shareable snacks, drinks,
and of course, that Pacific Sockeye salmon.
(funky music)
- [Gunnarolla] Welcome to Vancouver!
(all cheering)
- [Terry] Really hot, actually that's very hot.
- [Terry] She looks so angelic.
- [Gunnarolla] Yeah, you have this
glow behind you.
This crazy backlight.
- [Terry] And the demon, no I'm kidding!
- That was incredible!
- Honestly the best, that Sockeye
Salmon, it literally melts.
- Where are we going now, speaking of things melting?
- Well we're going to Perverted Ice Cream
to have other things melt in your mouth.
- Alright, Gunnarolla here, with the ASS crew.
I took my Lactaid, checking out Perverted Ice Cream.
- [Terry] Yeah, so the ice cream
is for your ASS squad and that's
for your-- nevermind.
Just go ahead, go ahead.
- Couldn't turn down a s'mores one.
- [Terry] Verdict, that's the verdict.
- [Gunnarolla] Look at how cute this is!
- Smells amazing in here!
How much to just stick my head in there?
- [Sylvia] Are you ready?
Do you get motion sickness?
- [Istiana] No, I love rollercoasters.
- Okay, do you get motion sickness?
- No!
- Are you afraid of heights?
- Are you ready?
- I'm ready.
- Do you get motion sickness?
- No, well.
- Are you afraid of heights?
- No.
- Are you pregnant?
- Not that I know of.
- Okay, perfect.
Do you have back pains?
- A little.
Maybe I'll knock myself back into shape.
- You know, I'm not going to lie,
I'm a little afraid of heights.
A little bit, little bit!
- I did not know that about you.
- I also get motion sickness,
so we'll see how this goes.
- We're gonna fly over Canada now.
- The most beautiful country in the world!
- Let's go!
(glorious music)
- [Sylvia] Oh my god!
(upbeat music)
- This was so cool!
- It just shows you, travel can take many forms.
- [Gunnarolla] What was your favourite part?
- [Sylvia] I would say, the views on the rooftop.
Honestly it was just--
- [Gunnarolla] I was not expecting that.
- [Sylvia] Yeah!
- It was the best welcome to Vancouver.
- It was, and I'm very, very, very happy
to spend it with you guys.
- Thank you Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre.
- [Sylvia] This is just the beginning,
here we go!
- [Gunnarolla] I'm about to get a very good nights sleep.
And that's just one way to spend
a weekend getaway in Vancouver.
