Went to the Pink Pearl for [tag]Dim Sum[/tag] today. It was the first time in a long time for me. Since the Shnewt’s moved ‘away’, I haven’t been out for Dim Sum at all. Can’t say I really missed it. It’s ok but probably wouldn’t be my first choice if anyone cared to ask my opinion. Just going with the heard…

Given that I had lots of time I decided to walk and was a good one. Denman street to Clark drive… prolly ’bout 5 or 6 km’s given that my office is just over 2 kms away. As long as you stay on Pender, you’ll miss the worst of the [tag]freak show[/tag], though I did see one drug deal go down. Lotsa cops too though sadly I didn’t witness them cracking any skulls. Good times…

It was great seeing everyone again. Neal, Ardie, Chrissie, Brian, Bryan and Max; been a while since I’ve seen any of them. The food was good, though for some reason the staff seemed to be ignoring us. It’s not like we were the only white folks in the place so maybe it was just my perception.

After we finished eating, I spent the afternoon aimlessly wandering around [tag]Chinatown[/tag]. It’s pretty cool though it does smell like a barnyard in places which was odd. I saw some really interesting stuff and nearly spent some money until I realized that I have a tiny apartment and that I really don’t need anything.

It never fails to amaze me that [tag]Main and Hastings[/tag] is the absolute asshole of Canada and only a block away at Main and Pender, it’s relatively normal. So I finally made my way home, picking up an over-priced coffee along the way. Apart from a few showers, it was a decent day.
