Shabusen Restaurant on Burrard St in Vancouver
Peter Davies of AHA MEDIA says of Shabusen on Burrard St in Vancouver
We had the privilege to eat at a very unique restaurant today in Downtown Vancouver. ShabuSen, a Korean BBQ and “All you can eat Sushi” restaurant sits in a fairly easy to find location and the food and the experience were excellent! We arrived at 1pm, were immediately seated, and were able to browse the easy to read menu while drinking delicious Jasmine tea. We ordered and our food came quickly. Bowls of raw beef, pork, and chicken (to cook over the BBQ that was in the middle of the table), plates of Gyoza (or dumplings), salmon and tuna sashimi, and California rolls, made up our delicious lunch. We enjoyed grilling pieces of beef, pork, and chicken over the BBQ with big metal tongs so that our chopsticks would not get contaminated. The pork was spiced with chili and quite spicy, the beef was tender and delicious, and the chicken was moist and tender.
I recommend Shabusen as it is a great place to eat and I would most certainly return when I find the time.

Hi April
I saw your video on Youtube of Remembrance Day in Vancouver and I was wondering if you’d mind us using it for Your World News, which is a BBC World short programme that goes out tomorrow. I’m putting together a small package on Remembrance Day and was wondering if you’d mind. We’d credit your name.
Also just to double check, you did take them yourself?
And lastly, if Remembrance has a special meaning to you, please email me a phone number and I’ll try and talk to you if you’re happy for me to.
Thanks a lot,
Silvia

AHA MEDIA is very pleased to introduce our newest member of our team – Alain Assailly ! 🙂
Free lance journalist and independant photographer, Alain Assailly has been living in Vancouver since May 2008.
He frequently contributes to The/La Source multicultural newspaper (www.thelasource.com).
He has also written articles in the frenchspeaking newspaper « L’Express du Pacifique » (www.lexpress.org).
In France, from 1991 to 1993, he attended the film school ESRA (« Ecole Supérieure de Réalisation Audiovisuelle »). There he learned techniques in photography, video and cinema production. Then, after passing a French Law degree (to learn about copyright in France), he got a Master in Corporate Communication in 1999 (equivalent to the Canadian Bachelor of Arts degree).
After his studies, he occupied different positions in France : Advertising Manager (including events organization), Webmaster assistant, Sales Representative, Account and Staff Manager (in the cleaning industry).
Alain has decided to start a new and fresh life in Canada, where he immigrated to in 2008. After working in a fast food restaurant as a Counter Attendant in North Vancouver, he now strives to challenge himself. He aims to specialize in the production of documentaries and wants to support the development of the upcoming W2 Community Media Arts Centre in Vancouver (www.creativetechnology.org).
He’s still a member of the France-Canada Organization based in Paris, in France (www.france-canada.info). This organization deals with the social and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
In 2006, Alain was keen to discover the North American way of life and to improve his English. So, Alain stayed in Canada for one year from 2006 to 2007 with a Working Holiday Visa. He worked in Toronto as a Sales Assistant in a Fine Food Store. Then, he moved in Montreal where he set up his own business : a seasonal store to sell ice cream and candies. He stopped this temporary business when his visa was expired. His Canadian adventure was just about to begin!
