I'll bring you down to Chinatown.

We've finally been having spring-like weather over here...woohoo! To take advantage of this, my husband and I decided to go downtown during the weekend just to walk around while the in-laws took the kids. Good times:D

Here are some pics we took. You won't see any snow, you guys...no snow!

In Chinatown (Spadina area)

 Congee for me coz I've been feeling a bit ill lately, and this was all my tummy could take for days.

I love this, Emmy and I wish we have Chinatown where I live but nah, Comox Valley is way too small for one. I have to go all the way down to Nanaimo to get proper Asian groceries. And tell me about Spring weather, we're hitting a high of 20C today!

We had a really good weekend of cleaning the house, scrubbing everything down because we plan to list our home for sale in the future. Was tiring and not the most glamorous weekend but a very fulfilling one. :-)

ps: love that picture of you and your husband! xx

Our friends in Toronto took us to this are when we visited them years ago. The Richmond Hill area seemed to be more happening than Chinatown though.

Yes they did a good job of wrapping it up in Urk. I loved the parcel scene when the guys ran to try to intercept the package but they got caught anyway and totally threw each under the bus ;p And SHK and SJK just killed it with their crying in ep. 12.

Your Chinatown looks much cleaner and streets looks wider than we have in Boston.

Looks like great fun, you even got to visit a fabric shop! Chinatown seems much more spacious than the one we have here.

We have a few Chinatown spots around in Melbourne and they're all so condensed and claustrophobic. I've never really gone down and explored them, only hitting these spots up for dinner here and there. Your post makes me want to explore them now

Yay, for the in-laws taking the children. Glad that you and your husband could getaway for a bit. I like Toronto, I used to go there a bit for work. That fabric store looks like heaven to me! I'd be there for hours. <3

I have always enjoyed a big/moderate size Chinatown where I lived (in NY and LA) but not so much in these neck of the woods, which is too bad! But there are really great restaurants which makes up it. ;)

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
