Culture Days in Vancouver - Marbling Demonstration at the Roedde House Museum
Marbling demonstration by marbler, book restorer and paper-maker Phyllis Greenwood at the kitchen of the Victorian Roedde House Museum.
Paper Marbling (from wikipedia) is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.

International Summer Night Market

May 9th to September 14th 2014
Friday - Saturday 7pm - 12am
Sunday 7pm - 11pm

The International Summer Night Market in Richmond is one of those places you must go when visiting Vancouver.

This outdoor market located in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond operates only  during summer on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at evening. It has merchandise and food vendors tents and you better go first to visit  the merchandise tents because when you get to the food tents you will be trapped by the views of all that delicious food and start eating without stopping.

All the merchandise is Chinese and also most of the food, although there is also Japanese food, and the food you find in fairs like corn on the cob and potato swirls.

The food is sold in small portions, and also in skewers this gives the advantage to try as much as you can.

For more information and how to get there etc. visit:
