Koreans have to step up their game. Lets make a better koreatown in Vancouver.

[michaelarnold13]

there are a lot of Koreans living in Coquitlam (a subrurb of Vancouver)

Vancouver is very diverse,people tend to blend in and dont need to group off

[323PS]

@CIAArmedUSP i second that! it seems korea is under-promoted in terms of tourism i don't know why! i went to korea & v v impressed with that country but it seems not v many ppl esp here in the western world know about it! mike shld be the ambassador for korea! i mean it!

[michaelarnold13]

I really like both Old Chinatown(Downtown) and the new (Richmond) Chinatown malls and areas

Thank you

If you get a chance, you should take a video of the inside of Parker Place. In fact, all along No 3 Rd is the whole Chinatown. Personally, I refer to the place more as "Hong Kong Town" because much of it was built by the Hong Kong population boom in the 1990s. Nowadays, there's more mainland Chinese moving to the area.

[michaelarnold13]

i just did a search on Parker AT .ask.com/wiki/ Parker_Place i did see a number of Asian malls along # 3 road and yes that whole area is Chinese

The guy I spoke to at the Lamborgini store said there are many Mainland Chinese here with money now as oposed to just the Hong Kong people before

all interesting local history and new Vancouver culture,its great living in a multicultural city with very good racial tolerance

[truesky00]

Thank you very much again for showing us. I've always wanted to see Chinatown in Vancouver. So, basically it's a shopping mall :) This video made my day !

[michaelarnold13]

did you see the video before this one ? its the actual Chinatown, this one here is the new Chinatown mall :)

Great to see you my friend :)

[truesky00]

@michaelarnold13 Yes, I did see the previous old Chinatown you uploaded. I have to say It wouldn't be Chinatown without the typical smell (not that I don't like) it's kinda funny that I've never thought of google or searching on Youtube about Chinatown in Vancouver. I guess I was waiting for your video ^^

[michaelarnold13]

i love authentic Asian food and so when I smell the ginger and the spiced steam in the old Chinatown my mouth gets a watering:)

thank for the compliment but google is more comprehensive lol :)

[pureresonance]

I love that food court!! been to Aberdeen many times, Iv'e never seen that news station before. I will have to search it out next time.

[michaelarnold13]

I just discovered it

I read that the same company that owns the center also owns some Chinese Radio and or TV Stations in Canada, suddenly I saw a room with reflective glass and bright lights inside and there she was

Thanks for the comment my friend

[Rymaaaa]

I always do a pit stop for a mazazu crepe. =)

[michaelarnold13]

its SO FREAKING delicious :)

[TheFaustianMan]

I hope the development is more into "Chinatowns" as opposed to China-malls. We have two major ones here in NYC.

[michaelarnold13]

out in Richmond there are loads of China Malls

Im sad that whats left of the orginal old settlment is decaying and shrinking

[GreenEggsAndHamster]

Wow, there is indeed a lot of money there. $440,000 for a car! It's amazing they actually sell any. Another great tour, Michael. Thanks for sharing!

[michaelarnold13]

big big money out in this area

i appreciate the support as always my friend

[TMartinus]

Nice, but why are there so many Asians in Vancouver?

[michaelarnold13]

many Chinese settled in Vancouver at the turn of the century, my grandfather told me many were traveling through North America on their way to work Labor for the 1st World War,I think there are many factors of the larget Asian population in Metro vancouver

[heomak]

reminds me of the pacific mall in toronto except that pacific mall was way busier/crowded....the shopping there was insane...all kinds of stores..almost felt like i was in hong kong..the food was blah...but the atmosphere & the uniqueness of the mall compared to the standard malls in toronto was something!

[michaelarnold13]

i think ive been there

this mall here is in Richmond and not Vancouver and its sunday night

Nice to explore and discover

[TheOrangeloveant]

[michaelarnold13]

thank you my friend

[TheOrangeloveant]
