Was a fairly relaxing day. Los padres went to some restaurant called the Golden Phoenix Restaurant in East Vanc, that claimed they had 20% off if you ate before 11, for dim sum.

We got there, and they said there was no such discount. And that all the dishes and were not $2.75, but 2.75 and UP. Lol. So basically they were charging the same prices as they do back home, which is pretty much not worth it. Most steamers were like $4.00 We didn't order much, and when the bill came in, we found that they charged us a load of money for the TEA as well. O_O Like, holy cruds. 

I guess that would explain why there was no one in the restaurant except for like 2 white ppl. XD

Headed to another restaurant--called King's Restaurant or something, where steamers were $2.30 each. Special dishes were $2.75, but the majority of them were $2.30, and it said on their menu that they did not charge tea money. XD This restaurant was packed with people.

Walked through Chinatown next, of Vancouver...was trying to find a new luggage bag thing, b/c apparently, the airport ppl had ripped out the handle of one of our bags. Tried not to venture too close to East Hastings (a street?), b/c that place was literally crawling with zombies.  Some of them actually wandered onto Main St. and East Pender to bug people for money. Later on, we drove through that street on the way to other places, and there were mobs of them gathered together, sharing drugs and other strange substances that they seemed to want to keep hidden. 

Went to a dollar store somewhere in Richmond--they had coconut jam and coconut spread....I wish I could buy it, but that's not very transportable (glass jars), plus I could do with less criticism from los padres. XD It looked kinda tasty, though. =d

Spent the rest of the day leisurely lounging around, watching anime and checking up on MSN and email. Went to Yaohan centre, where I discovered that I really like triangle maki that is filled with tuna (that triangular rice ball thing with tuna in the middle). Found that T&T and other associated sotres (like Osaka Supermarket) charge a fortune for Meiji Choco Gummies. Like $5.00 per tube!!! Other plaes only charge $2.98. Looking forward to coming home soon.

But still hoping to see the Vancouver Night Market. =D
