I was in British Columbia Today Last Year

Buddies, boomers, and readers,   yes today last yearI was in British Columbia in the west coast of Canada.   Together with Nicholas my brother Julie and I visit  White Rock, Tsawwassen, Whiterock and Boundary Bay


We started our excursion by energizing ourselves with some hot dim sums at Kim Yuet Hin Seafood Restaurant before hitting the highway to White Rock.  We stepped out of the SUV upon arrival the destination.  Right in front of us somewhere in the White Rock Beach, there is the big White Rock no body can miss.   It is huge and all of us were so excited to dash out there and took photos with the big White Rock.   Out of curiosity I examined very closely that big chunk of rock.  It was snow white but, let me tell you a little secret it was White rock pier not a white rock.  It was the grey granite that you normally find in any mountain but sprayed with several layers of paint that made it look snow white.  Any way people still like it.  Probably it was the scenery,  the beach that opens to the Pacific Ocean, the good food and nice landscape that attract tourists to this small town.

We then walked to the pier which is a long extension reaching out into the sea from the beach.  And as we looked back from the pier end towards the hill top with numerous houses of different shapes and sizes.  It is an excellent view that attracted people to come again and again.

We then walked back to our car and drove up to see more closely along those narrow strips of roads in the hill top.   We slowly drove through those houses and hit the highway to take our lunch at Copa Cafe at Cambie Street.  We were so hungry and we ordered four dishes of food...  Singaporean Stir Fried Noodle,  Stir fried Rice with beef and veggies,  rice threads with ground fish and veggies and  Garoupa Baked with Rice and Cheese.  The food were delicious and price was only C$40 including tax and tips.

We continued our journey to Tsawwassen and Boundary Bay before we returned home.  At 7:00 p.m. we went out for dinner with Kim Hoi and his family at a Shanghai Yat Chi Ting Restaurant which is renowned for its authentic Shanghai food
