Hockey Time in Vancouver

It is Hockey time in Vancouver

Last Minute Food before the Game
If you are attending a Game or Event at one of the Stadiums BC Place or GM Place and are hungry but want something other than the expensive stadium food. There is a Costco right there that offers it usually 7 or 8 items that are about a third of the cost. Another great place is the large popular Asian market T & T, that sells many to go Asian specialties.

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.
