Hello from Vancouver

Am very tired right now as I have spent nine hours today either in an airplane or an airport. Thanks to aeroplan, I was able to fly to Vancouver on points this morning. But aeroplan makes you pay for those points in other ways. My journey started at 9 am with a flight to Toronto. Waited an hour for my connector to Calgary. After four hours in the air, I had a four hour lay over in Calgary. Took the transit downtown but didn't do much more than that. I finally boarded the plane that brought me here to Vancouver around 5 pm Calgary time. So needless to say, I'm very happy to have arrived.
I don't want to be a traitor to Ottawa because I love the city and the choice of restaurants it offers. But the quality of food in Vancouver is soooo much better. In fact, I paced breakfast and lunch today because I knew my day would wrap up with a meal in Vancouver (okay, and also because there's a limited selection of options at airport food courts.) Arrived in the city this evening and my family and I immediately went for dinner in Richmond.
Went to a place that the family has become quite partial to recently -- called Won Ton Mein Saga. It's known more as a place to get noodle soups and congee but it does have a separate menu for main dishes. Some people might picture formica tables and florescent lighting when they think of won ton noodle soups. But this place was decorated more like one of those chain restaurants; Moxie's or the White Spot. It was packed with people. We were lucky to get a booth table. My family ordered three item: a garlicky gai choy hearts, half a steamed chicken, and a stir-fry of straw mushroom, scallop and celery. The last dish was my favourite -- because encircling the mushrooms, scallops and celery was a ring of tofu that had been deep fried so that they were crispy on the outside but milky smooth on the inside. I wish I had brought my camera. It was delicious. Now, properly stuffed and satisfied, it is time for bed. Good night.
