The light was gorgeous last night - I live near the Hotel Europe which is a six storey building in Gastown, Vancouver. It is a triangular-shaped building designed in what is called the “flatiron” style. #worldpeopleproject Going for happy hour with @naomimacd @degenerate_planet at @doyousaiwoo #vancityscape #vancitybuzz

It’s an important custom to set off firecrackers during Chinese New Year- after the firecrackers go off piles of red paper shreds remain! It can be customary to leave them for a couple of days for good luck! @chinatownjudy @chinatown.today @edmundmma #firecrackers #worldpeopleproject #chinatownyvr

The God of Prosperity or God of Wealth (Caishen)is one of the most prominent and popular divine beings through the Chinese New Year! People and businesses make offerings to this God to have prosperity in the coming year! @chinatownjudy @chinatown.today @edmundmma #worldpeopleproject #chinesenewyear #chinatownyvr #vancity

Vancouver’s Chinatown Parade - and Vancouver Police Pipe Band- which started in 1914 at the opening of “new” police station on Cordova Street. A few pipers in the department organized themselves to play at the opening ceremony. Impressing everyone it was decided to form an official departmental pipe band. #worldpeopleproject @chinatown.today @chinatownjudy #vancity #chinatownyvr
