I recently went to Richmond, British Columbia, Canada with a friend. The main purpose for this visit was to enjoy the cuisine and experience the Night Market in Richmond. Being an American and visiting Canada already makes me a foreigner; however, while visiting Richmond, I was the only Caucasian for the majority of the time; making me a double foreigner. Richmond has an immigrant population of 60%. Also, 50% of the residents of Richmond identify as Chinese; however, since we spent 100% of our time in the International area, it felt like I was the immigrant 100% of the time. There were places that charge additional charges if I wanted a fork instead of using chopsticks, and believe me, I need a fork when I eat. The night market in Richmond is comparable to a State Fair but with Asian food galore, and without forks. Here are pictures of me being so proud of my fork and food from the night market.
