E: I don’t think we really have a set ritual but I guess it would be lots of breathing and encouraging each other.

E: That’s a tough one, but I used to live close to The Naam and that was amazing.

Favourite street in your city:

E: For me, it’s Front St. in New West for the same reason.

Favourite park in your city:

B: Queen Elizabeth Park, because it used to be a volcano and the flowers are stunning and because one of my previous pets (Art) lives at the Bloedel Conservatory now.
