above the clouds


As the plane approached its landing...

Hello beautiful Vancouver!! :)





I had an iced capp and sandwich from the first Tim Hortons I saw after my landing!

It's nice to be back in Canada again, even if it's brief!

Kaifeng's night market


Went to Henan province this weekend and got to see Kaifeng's famous night market! There were a lot of interesting dishes to eat and little things to buy. I really enjoyed trying out new kinds of food there. I like how the food came in small quantity and were quite cheap in price! I got to eat quite a lot of stuff, and perhaps the best thing I ate was this the salted duck egg sushi...  never had such a thing! It was really good!!  


One of the food stalls at Kaifeng's night market. A lot of the sellers are of Hui ethnic group (usually of Islamic religion).  

Some kind of fish cooked in some interesting way... didn't try it, but thought these fishes looked quite unhappily dried up... 


Lots of different kinds of meat on a stick. You can eat them BBQed. I love the lamb and chicken wings stick the best!!

Aside from food, there are also little cute things that you can buy. Here are some colourful nightlights... there is even a Hello Kitty one ^_^


A little perfume stall. They mix liquids and then put it on one of those hanging tiny bottles. 

A warm thanks to my good friend Fanyi for taking me to this interesting place and for hosting me this weekend in Henan!! =)

The busy streets of Zhengzhou, Henan.  



Gosh I stress out every time I cross the streets here in China!

dusk at Vltava

Pour les jours qui viennent, je veux profiter de mes soirées à sortir plus souvent en ville afin d'éviter trop de  temps de solitude dans ma chambre, devant mon écran, enveloppée par des pensées tristes...

warmth


Tonight, I lit up all these candles in my room.












Some source of warmth on this cold gray day.

alors on danse...


My friend Fanyi came down to Vancouver for her reading week. I have known her since my junior high years and she is a very good friend. I was delighted to see her again and to have the opportunity to introduce her to (parts of) Vancouver! 

The following are some clubbing pictures taken on Friday night, when we went out with some of my friends and danced the night away at PostModern nightclub! 














Super belle soirée!! Vive et heureuse!! Je me suis vraiment bien amusée à danser avec mes amis!

fire sparkles



Thursday night - how I amuse myself with a tripod, a camera and a sparkler.

Right outside my house.

Sarah's birthday


It was my housemate's birthday and we celebrated it with a potluck party at our house. I took a couple of photos throughout the night so here are some of them: 

















It was a fun, but also messy night! I had a good time and I hope my housemate enjoyed herself too!
