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.

Recently discovered a very cool browser plug-in for visualizing photos and videos arranged in an infinite wall of photos and videos that you can scroll left or right and when you slow down, the item in the middle of your view will be expanded to fit bigger in relation to the rest of the photos on the wall.  You can also run this plug-in in full screen mode which makes it look like your wall of photos is your desktop.   Sources of photos can come from your local hard drive, Flickr, Google, Yahoo! Images, Picasa, DeviantArt, Hulu, YouTube, Blinkx, Shopping and Channels. What’s more, there is even an iPhone version!
