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

Preparations and clothing for the Lion Dance before setting off for the Chinese New Year Parade! @chinatown.today @edmundmma #worldpeopleproject #chinatownyvr

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

One of my favourite characters from Chinatown, Mr Chiu of the Yue Shan Association at the Chinese New Year Parade 2018 Thank you @chinatownjudy for all the introductions in Vancouver’s Chinatown. #worldpeopleproject #chinatownyvr #chinesenewyear2018

Lion Dance is performed outside many of the stores and businesses in Vancouver’s Chinatown. The ritual is to ensure a prosperous year ahead. The lion dance is based on martial arts moves to the beat of a live drum, under a large papier-mâché mache head and fabric tail. @chinatown.today @chinatownjudy #worldpeipleproject #chinatownyvr #vancouverchinatown

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

It was very exciting to be close to the firecracker truck- once the firecrackers are lit the parade officially starts. It is estimated that about 100,000 spectators turn out to enjoy the festivities annually! @chinatownjudy @chinatown.today @edmundmma #worldpeopleproject #chinatownyvr

In Tokyo - saw this man most likely on his way home from work- didn’t get a chance to find out more ! But I did wonder who he is - what he does - his thoughts on life - I will never know. #tokyo #japan #worldpeopleproject #peopleoftokyo

Amanohashidate sand bar was created by the tides and winds - there are over 8,000 pine trees growing on this white sand bar. This area is said to be one of top beauty spots in Japan. @catch22studiotraceyglass #japanroadtripwithtracey #worldpeopleproject #japan #bridgetotheheavens

Driving along the roads in Fukui- we spotted a family planting rice - wanting to have a closer look we stopped! After a few photos and smiles - the farmer in the distance shouted something - gulp - but in fact he was encouraging his daughter to say something in English, which most likely was the last thing on her mind as she was driving the rice planting machine (I think for the first time). We all smiled and tried a few words of English with her. #japanroadtripwithtracey #worldpeopleproject #japanesefarming @catch22studiotraceyglass @lauricafarm @modfarm

Viewing the Takahama Nuclear Power Plant in Fukui #japanroadtripwithtracey ! At this exact spot we were asked by 2 Japanese policemen - "what were we doing? Could they look at my camera? Could they see my ID ? " I managed to produce my driving licence and No to looking at my camera ! Tracey talked for about 20 minutes in a friendly but firm way about our rights etc and that we were doing nothing wrong! A sigh of relief when we were told to go on our way ! #worldpeopleproject #breakingthemold #digdeep @catch22studiotraceyglass #japan🇯🇵 #beextraordinary
