2009.03.21 Bookstores @ Van

Photo: Macleod's Books

My boss recommended us a multilingual bookstore in downtown.
It's called "Sophia Books", on Hasting, between Richards & Homer.
So cool! I love it. Several years ago, my dream was to operate a bookstore like Sophia, having a bunch of books in several languages.
But I know the reality is, this kind of stores in China will hardly be as popular as in Van.
Business destroys dreams.

Their website: http://www.sophiabooks.com/index.html

BTW, during the adventure of finding the Sophia, Alex & I ran into another bookstore, on Pender, I'm not sure about the name, probably "Macleod's Bookstore"? Yes, it is, I find it from the internet. It reminds me "84 Charing Cross Road". Right, another packed second-hand bookstore.

Here it is: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/macleods-books-vancouver

Both of them are very attractive to me.

2009.03.07&08 Seattle






Just came back from Seattle.
Too tired. I will fill up this diary later.
--------------------------------------
Pieces of Seattle:

It is a city of American art.
I love the Seattle Art Museum. I had a lot of fun wandering in the streets.

Shopping in the outlet is another main goal of the trip.
But I hope I went there last year...when the US dollar was so weak then...

2009.03.04 Arts

Today, I updated my student status, from Year 2 to Year 3, and declared my major as Art History.
My confidence was beaten again by FREN 123. Why didn't I quit a course I know I probably cannot manage? The reading is too difficult for me...I admit my French is poor, mute and deaf (I cannot speak neither understand, but I can read and understand a little...)

This is another complain diary... pls ignore my irritation.
