Richmond Night Market

It’s Night Market season again. You probably know about the Richmond Night Market, which has its own website, and hosted 2 million patrons in 2007.
But don’t forget the Chinatown market for a more intimate experience.

It is smaller than the Richmond night market. But it has all the good stuff like cheap and cheesy clothing, mobile phone accessories, pirate Asian DVDs, and food.
The food that what I love the most has I am the only one in my family who likes to venture into the unknown I get to indulge my senses.
I usuall hop on the skytrain to get there you get off at the main street hinatown stop and head north to where all the people are.

The night markets should run every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from now through the end of August. Go have some fun.

Vancouver International Fringe Festival

If you’ve never been to the Vancouver International Fringe Festival it time to check it out. Much like regular theatre, but much less pretentious and much more anarchic. From September 5 until September 14, 65 national and international productions are performed in total over 500 times. The festival is uncensored and unjuried, so it’s a very mixed bag. You never know whether you’re going to see the next smash hit or some uninspired makeshift show created by a few friends after a night of heavy drinking. But take your chances this is what makes it part of the fun. You don’t need to worry about what youre gona wear as this is no upscale theatre experience, just a bunch of young playwrights trying to make it in Showbiz. You can’t find a more unique, fun and rewarding theatre experience than the Fringe.
