Yesterday Was A Sunday!

It was cloudy and outside temperature was a little low, though still comfortable. Esther needed to go downtown for a performance, so we got up, had our breakfast and traveled to China town. The performance place is quite special. It locates on Columbia Street, between East Pender and East Hastings, right in the door step of Yin Ping Benevolent Society, as yesterday, it was their 90th Anniversary and therefore the performance.

It's after noon when they started the Chinese dancing program. It's very interesting that when they were performing the Chinese Opera (people singing the Chinese traditional songs), there were not many audience, and as soon as the Chinese dancing program started, the audiences gathered around, and the tourists started to take out their cameras and camcorders to take photos and videos. I also observed that there are some visitors who might have traveled long distance to join this event.

When Esther's performance was near the end, Olivia and I walked back to the car-park and at the corner of Columbia Street, there was a guy painting on the wall.

He simply used some brushes and some simple tools and without sketches he painted very well on the walls. Next time when you are around in Columbia Street, I would assume his works would have finished and you can take some good photos of them. They are quite nice.

Then, we returned to Richmond while some friends were waiting and we had lunch together. After the lunch, I went for an afternoon nap and by the time I woke up, it's about time to attend the evening mass. I totally forgot my medication (pain-killer) and therefore we rushed back home after the mass, took the medication before we went to the restaurant to join everyone for the Sunday dinner. It's very nice to learn everyone has enjoyed their week, spending outdoor camping, fishing trip and overseas visits, and sharing of their great moments during the trips. Life is about sitting among friends and listening to their enjoyable moments. So nice!
