I stayed in Vancouver and Richmond for two days. I just came back actually. The city is beautiful. It is extremely better than Seattle by far. What I notice is that there is a lot of Asian in Vancouver--specifically Chinese (from Taiwan and Hong Kong). Anyway like I stated before, the city is really nice and I love the architecture. On the other hand, the China-town is extremely dirty. I thought Seattle's Chinatown (pretty small considered to Vancouver) is the most dirtiest place but compared to Vancouver, it is actually very clean. The Chinese are very successful in Vancouver, why don't they hire a group of people to clean the whole area up???? Everywhere looks very clean except China-town (one place in downtown Vancouver was pretty dirty where I see a lot of homeless people are at). But overall, I had a great time and it is a lovely place.


Next stop is Chicago. I heard from my brother it is a little behind New York City when it comes to sky-scapers but it is way cleaner and more beautiful. Anyone from Chicago would like to share the best places to be in Chicago??
