Vancouver, British Columbia

I'm really impressed by the interesting and odd variety of food for sale. Most of it must have been imported from China so that's why it is so foreign to me. I'm not sure what food is represented in the top right photo. Is it a portion of a goat's jaw? Lord knows, but whatever it is it kinda freaks me out.

I pass by this really nice tile work near the Chinese Cultural Center on Pender Street. All 12 animals of the Chinese Calendar are represented in intricate detail.

I was born in the Year of the Dragon. What year were you born in?
