One of the things which I haven't quite got used to in Vancouver is the large presence of homeless and drug addicts in a modern state like Vancouver. Singaporeans are probably too used to the continuous and insistent nannying by the government, such that when we come to places like North America, we get pretty apalled at the state of the homeless and how the situation is not being dealt with.
There are clear border dividers in the city. East Hasting, the notorious gang-filled street of Vancouver where needles are all over the floor and addicts inject themselves with heroin, is a mere street away from the main shopping district, where stores such as Gucci preside.
Our first bubble tea here in Vancouver. Not that such shops are hard to find but they are very very expensive. Most cost about CAD$5 but the one which we found in West Vancouver cost $3.
Fried Rice! Very authentic Hong Kong restaurant which we found near Robson Street. The turnover is very high and the place is always full.
No time to do post anything else now... Rushing to Burnaby for shopping. President Nathan is coming to Vancouver next week and the embassy invited us for dinner with him at Pan Pacific, so we all need to get a set of formal wear. =)
