Life in the Lower Mainland (BC, Canada)

My friend introduced me to Ramen GAOH today in Burnaby near Hastings and Willingdon. Really impressed by the deliciousness and filling portion for a decent price! Some noodle orders come with an optional extra order of noodles, included in the price. Some vegan options. My friend got the Scorpion Ramen (slide 1 -- $17.50) which was a slightly lighter bowl of noodles but still a fair portion. Based on his previous visits, he suggested the Tsukemen, and we tried the fried rice, which comes with instructions at the table for what to do. Spicy Tsukemen (slides 2-3 -- $18.95) Tsukemen is house-made thick noodles in special dipping soup with pork chunks. Comes with karaage (deep fried chicken) or chashu. Noodles can be hot or cold. Spicy Tsukemen is tossed in house-made spicy sauce that contains ground pork. I didn't find the spicy sauce particularly spicy. It doesn't come pre-tossed so if you find it too spicy you could spoon it aside. Or if you already mixed it into your noodles...

Previously I mentioned a fishy chat about investments and day trading that was in all likelihood leading to some kind of phishing scam. What made me cautious there was the chat had started just shortly after another strange chat involving investments and day trading. "Lisa" contacted me on LinkedIn . I wasn't on that platform much so we moved to WhatsApp shortly after (where her phone number was +1 (604) 332-9594). This one had a pretty strange story about how to make easy money, possibly trying to appeal to people who are not averse to cheating the system in order to make too-good-to-be-true instant wealth. It was harder to find image matches on Google Image Search for the pictures she sent, but I did get a few suspicious hits: The post supposedly showing her wearing a green outfit after a run (slide 4) is identical from that of a weight-loss website . Her healthy fruit salad breakfast (slide 5) seems to be somewhat popular, posted by @bubu87879 on Twitter and  @July20...
