Been crossing the North Arm Bridge tones of times, almost daily commuting to and from work on the Canada Line skytrain. But have never walked on it. This is my first time crossing it by foot and surprised to find that it is not as far as I was thinking.
There are lots of old buildings in Hong Kong. I think the most interesting ones are the corner buildings with a round corner on every floor. These buildings are pretty old, and most are not tall at all. I would guess they are 50 to 60 years on average.

We have been meaning to visit the City Hall for a while. It is located in the city center of Richmond. Because of its location, it is usually quite busy around there and that is the reason we avoid driving near that area for as long as we can :P

Hope you enjoy these photos taken during the Anime Evolution 2010.

I have been to a Japanese Garden when I was visiting Tokyo. This time, I visited a Chinese Garden in Vancouver. The Sun Yat-Sen Park and Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden are two parts of the same facility in the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver in China Town. The Park is free for admission. The Classical Chinese Garden costs $10 per admission.
Let me take you for a tour.
This is the main entrance of the Chinese Cultural Centre. What a contrast between the Chinese entrance and the Western hotel behind it! Try 3D visualization using Google Street View of the front entrance.
