Random thoughts of restaurants and food in Vancouver, BC!

Following my trip to Stanley Park (see below or click here), I decided to go to Vancouver Chinatown Night Market – an annual “summer” event (technically it was still spring when it opens, but, hey the weather is good enough!). Since it is an annual event, click here for my post for last year.
Since Chinese New Year is drawing near, I thought it would be a good idea to visit Vancouver’s Chinatown to check the preparations. I will be straight here: Despite Chinese New Year (this year) is January 26th, the actual celebrations are scheduled for the weekend of January 30th. Now, I understand Chinese New Year is not an official holiday but move it in such way… Well, I found it a bit disappointing. Anyway, I chose the opportunity take picture of the second largest Chinatown in North America (area-wise) and third largest (population-wise, both according to Wikipedia). And this is despite the diaspora of the Chinese population to Richmond. So, here it goes, Vancouver’s Chinatown.
Millenium Gate, near the “border” of Chinatown with Downtown Vancouver.
