As much as I love summer, I love fall even more. And you know what goes great with fall weather? A delicious bowl of ramen. My friend Aaron and I decided to check out the new location of Ramen Koika on lower Robson St. “Koika” means love song in Japanese, so if you’re bold enough…

Discover Los Angeles: Affordable Fun Things To Do
Los Angeles can be quite an expensive city to vacation in, despite the low cost airfare from Vancouver to LA (my flight cost me only $275 in October!)
