aa2 20090710 fri. on the north side of Marine Way (Burnaby) there is a vegetable farm where lady workers in chinese garb and wide brim hats (maybe they're chinese ladies) are tending and manually harvesting vegetables. It is a scene straight out of china. Oh I wish I had a camera.
South on the river is a tugboat pulling a large "enclosure of logs surrounded by a perimeter of logs" just like on the tV-show "The Beachcombers". It probably is boring for the residents but to an outsider like me, this is like being on another planet!!

aa1 200906dd ---.
The tap-water is sweet in vancouver & burnaby. Where does it come from?
ocean = salt. mountains? reverse osmosis? distilled? pure water should not have any taste, so why does reverse osm or dist H2O (or other) appear to have a sweet taste?
Cowtown tap-water does not taste this good.
[Entry pro-post 20110210: I have heard on the media, (radio), that Vancouver and Montreal are 2 centers which do not add fluoride to the drinking water. Perhaps, this is why the water tastes so different. Similarly I hear Calgary's water naturally has a small amount of fluoride but the city adds more. There is some current controversy that a ?vote/plebiscite/refererendum? may by held to remove the supplementation of fluoride to Calgary water.]
Walk-around, look at the houses, I mean look at the plants in the front yard of the house; Lush and lush and full of variety. If you like plants and trees and flowers. This is for you! Wonderful Wonderful.
P.S. I bought a 5 foot section of log today. I will practice at home to wrap my arms around it to build up strength and muscles used for hugging.
-------- ---. What a wonderful and strange place. and I'm not just talking about the climate. People are laid back and they appear friendly. Is my quest for the canadian "Obama-land" finally realised? I'm in a park near sapperton station waiting for a rental apartment agent to arrive. I pick a bench where there is no people and kids nearby. shortly, 3-4 young kids accompanied by 2 ladies play in the water spray area. 5-10 minutes elapse. One lady in t-shirt and jeans approaches me. And looks me over. I smile pleasantly, try not to notice her, and resume studying my rental notes.
"This lady is either a cop, a concerned parent hoping to protect her kids from pedophiles, or is a druggie", I think to myself. None of the above. My cynical options were not part of the answer. This lady is not a parent. she is a friend of the other lady who is a parent. She lives in the neighborhood and really enjoys the community and wishes me luck in my apartment search. "Do I feel guilty now", "never judge a book by its cover..." as the saying goes. I am afraid that all the time I lived in "Bush-land", and prior to that, the time I spent in the triple-K capital of the prairies, has brain-washed me. It has raised my shield up to protect me from the toxic environment.
-------- ---. Vancouver sure is nice where everyone is laidbacK! Multi-culturalism has a nice level of acceptance here. I can blend in pretty good in the city. People will say "Oh there's Jian the ****ing guy" instead of "Oh there's Jian the ****ing asian guy". That one visible descriptive word may not seem like much, but as a visible minor, it makes ALL the difference in the world!
P.S. I wonder if I will ever run into Ian Hanomansing here. .
