Alright, Indian travel visa, checked; Wholefood groceries, checked; new runners, checked; lots and lots of Sushi at Tsunami, checked; visited Chooi, checked; a in-the-dog-house diamond, checked; I think I am ready to depart Vancouver getting back to Shanghai.
Couple things I noticed in Vancouver this time; more and more younger people are asking for money on the street; seems an increased of 100% from the last time I was there - six months ago. Pollution, yes another problem; from Davie's condo we could see a huge brown pocket of something shrouded Burnaby. Brown! Not white fog. Yikes!!! Even though, this city is promoting green, I actually see more plastics running around - to the garbage. Go figure! Salespersons, don't know how to sell. I asked for a size 9.5 and this guy actually trying to sell me an 8 of black and an 11 of brown! Another store, have the right size but not colour; so he tried selling me that colour instead! And Harry Rosen sells the same shoes $100 more than the actual brand name store around the corner. People driving are getting rude; honking everywhere. Ummm... Vancouver. Wonder what it will be like when this place is getting close to the Olympics. The house next to Chooi; the guy bought it for 400k about 6 years ago; it was sold for 1.6M couple days ago! OK, the guy put some reno into it; about 100K or so; but that's outrageous! One thing though, an Apple store is coming to town at the Pacific Mall soon!
