These are some older photos I took during my first trip to Tokyo in 2003 October. It was a lot of fun. I met with friends of friends whom I have never met before and thanks to them, my first experience in Tokyo could not have been better.
For a moment, I thought I was not in Vancouver.
The Waterfall Building does not look like a typical building you are likely to find in Vancouver. Maybe because of the glass windows, or the concrete walls and concrete tiles on the ground. This certainly does not remind me of Vancouver. And how refreshing to see this building. Continue reading
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. Continue reading
Had the pleasure to take some night time photos of the Richmond Olympic Oval last week. It is a magnificent building located just on the river side, at the northwest corner of Richmond.
The Oval is where some of the Olympic Games will be held next year in Vancouver.

Time really flies when you can’t stop to smell flowers. We are in fall and there are only a few months left before the end of the year.
Vancouver’s fall weather is fantastic. I often cherish the fall weather more than the summer months as fall is usually very short. The weather will start to become chillier and rain will be more frequent. Continue reading
Fall is definitely in the air. Even though officially summer ends on September 20th this year, it felt like Autumn has been around for a couple of weeks before then.
Leaves has already been falling and this makes the otherwise monotonic concrete pavement more so colourful. Continue reading
More photos of Shangri-La, the tallest tower in Vancouver today. You maybe aware that Shangri-La is a Hong Kong based hotel group and Shangri-La Hotel in Vancouver is their first branch hotel in North America.
At the ground level of Shangri-La, you will find the famous Burberry Store and the specialty grocer, Urban Fare. There is also Market by Jean-Georges, an upscale restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, on the first floor. Continue reading
