So some friends and I made a plan to go out for Dosas at Mayuri a few days ago. Of course, at the time, no one realised that Vancouver would decide to do its impression of Calgary. Going against common sense and better judgment, the Surrey boys decided to show their Surrey nature by risking their lives, and going out for dinner. 5 us of went, and we had the option of picking from 4 different cars to take.
We learnt a very important lesson last night. If you are going for dosas in a snow storm, never pick a 15 year old Toyota Corolla with bald summer tires on...
A 20 min drive suddenly turned into a 40 minute crawl, but after a wrong right turn, and several exchanges of profanity, we ultimately reached our destination...
What a precise parking job!
After thoroughly enjoying our meal, stomachs full, we happily walked back out into the parking lot, only to realise that getting out might be a BIT of a challenge. But of course, we had total faith in our driver...

Despite the fact that it took us 15 min to move the car 15 m, at the insistence of one particular Surreyite... :), it was decided that we shall continue the evening by going for bowling at Excalibur Lanes. Of course where we were coming from required navigation down a mildly steep hill to the bowling alley. But then, when the hill is covered in ice, and visibility is poor, the hill all of a sudden seems much steeper...

TOTALLY worth it though... I bowled my best game ever!
Final Balance Sheet:
Dosa, Coffee and Mithai at Mayuri: $18.00
Bowling at Excalibur: $8.00
Throwing common sense out the window for a night, and having fun with the boys: PRICELESS
PS. If you are easily offended by profanity in the videos... too bad. It's 5 brown guys from Surrey. What do you expect? ;)
