E. Writer Should be a broken heart lol

E. Writer Thundercats and Tom and Jerry were my favorite cartoons growing up. Thundercats had the coolest intro ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcGNqrAtsgg although, Silverhawks gives it a good run. But of course they were made by the same company so they both had epic intros. I was truly an 80s kid. Strawberry Shortcake was my other favorite.

E. Writer Was this a reel? Sometimes they don't show the image.

Alex Morton I love Chinese food and live in the best place to get it. Vancouver is nearly fifty percent Asian and the Chinese restaurants ... Szechuan, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, hot pot ... are incredible. When I was in Taiwan, an associate once said to me ... "You live in Vancouver, must try Golden Great Wall." He was right. Wow! It closed a few years ago and I miss it, but there are plenty of others. In Vancouver, business lunches are often held at dim sum restaurants. Twenty minutes from my house is a huge Chinese supermarket where we can buy cooked food as well as everything in Chinese ingredients that you can possibly think of, with the exception of snake and a few other exotic meats.

E. Writer The Chinese food places where i live are awful save for maybe one or two. Everything else is like Panda express. But there's good Japanese and Korean restaurants here. We do have ONE great Chinese food place here that I really like. Do they have a big china town in Vancouver?

Alex Morton There's a very old Chinatown in Vancouver ... kinda sleazy around the edges and for some reason there are always a lot of unsavory-looking drunks and druggies hanging around. But, I was raised around NY City and that stuff doesn't phase me. At one end of Chinatown, is the Dr. Sun Yatsen Garden. Enclosed with a high wall, once you enter there's a coy pond and a very asian series of rooms with interesting things in them. One night, Mina and I went to a concert under the moonlight there that was magical. The music was Asian fusion, a sort of melange of Japanese and Chinese classical music. We could have been in an ancient garden in China. There are a few really good restaurants in Vancouver's Chinatown, but many more in Richmond, a huge middle-class suburban town. The restaurants, there, are very authentic and always good.

Alex Morton The concert was put on by my multi-instrumentalist friend, Randy Raine Reusch and a few other musicians. The instruments were primarily ancient, traditional ones from Asia and Mongolia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNjhNJt50TQ&list=RDfNjhNJt50TQ&start_radio=1

E. Writer What a beautiful minimalist sound. Very relaxing. The beginning almost sounds like a habanera. But I can hear hints of Asia there too.
