I'm back in Seattle now. Unfortunately, Vancouver was a bit of a
bust because we were only spending two days there and didn't know
enough about the area to know which sites to visit. Consequently,
we spent most of our time there hanging around the Asian district
of Richmond. We did have good food, though, and the food courts in
the various malls there were very reminiscent of those in
Singapore. Even had Hainanese chicken rice at a "stall" run by an
ex-Singaporean.
We did try to venture to what we thought would be interesting areas
of the city, but ended up lost and driving around aimlessly most of
the time. A little frustrating, to say the least. On one of our
misguided trips, we did end up inadvertently driving through the
old Chinatown district in downtown Vancouver; it was really grungy
and run down. We did end up in Stanley Park, and I'll have a few
images posted up here of that area soon.
Today is our last full day in Seattle; we'll be heading back to MN
at around noon tomorrow. Not exactly looking forward to that, as
I've really, really fallen in love with the Puget Sound area,
despite the traffic congestion.
More images soon....
