When it was open it was run by an elderly Filipina and she served traditional Filipino food. We do have several other Filipino restaurants and bakeries in town. :-)Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-2389406041859860342014-10-13T06:53:18.776-07:002014-10-13T06:53:18.776-07:00wonderfull reportage and fotos over China Town,gre...wonderfull reportage and fotos over China Town,greeting from Belgium.<br />http://louisette.eklablog.com/nuit-de-l-obscurite-mons-a112810380Louisettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634622985747195310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-41932096949408106592014-10-12T06:03:41.780-07:002014-10-12T06:03:41.780-07:00I just wanted to reply to the comment you left on ...I just wanted to reply to the comment you left on my blog. If I am making a blanket it is acrylic or superwash wool for me. I like really nice yarn but I am no fool with my money. It is really the only way to go as a blanket with expensive yarn could cost hundreds of dollars. I once made a baby blanket in Debbie Bliss yarn, I crocheted it and did not think about the yarn sucking probability of crocet, I had to go back for more several times. That was the most expensive baby gift I ever gave!<br />Hugs,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-21529652001393052032014-10-12T03:52:34.808-07:002014-10-12T03:52:34.808-07:00Thanks for sharing.

I think your blog is going to make my next trip up to Vancouver sooner rather than later. While checking on my blogs and surfing the web this morning I found something that reminded me that next Monday is Thanksgiving in Canada. May I wish you a happy and peaceful day. You always have something interesting to say about cooking and dining so I am wondering if you will do the “traditional” Thanksgiving meal with turkey? Down here in the “States” Monday is also a holiday, but it’s Columbus Day in honor of that person who discovered America. I wish Canada and the US had gotten together on Thanksgiving and celebrate it on the same day … we have to wait several more weeks for our T Day. Best wishes from Seattle.

The area I am mainly showing in the photos are along Keefer Street, just east of Main Street, and also a little of Gore Street which is perpendicular to Keefer. This area is on the eastern edge of Chinatown and not too terribly far from Water Street and the Old Steam Clock in Gastown (the neighbourhood slightly northwest of Chinatown)Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-66243327336112159262014-10-09T20:14:54.128-07:002014-10-09T20:14:54.128-07:00Hi Joyful, What a great tour of Chinatown ... so m...Hi Joyful, What a great tour of Chinatown ... so many photos ... very nicely done. Your candid photography of places you visit almost always makes me want to come up to Vancouver again and check things out. Although I've visited downtown Vancouver several times, I don't think I've been to the exact area you are showing us. I remember going down Water Street and the old Steam Clock. That's nearby isn't it? I sure hope the city will be able to keep Chinatown going. Thank you for sharing your visit.
