China Town

China Town. Busy and awesome. We spent a lot of the day going from shop to shop looking for the right kind of dried, salted plumbs that my dad used to get when he was a young child living in California. No luck though.

Saw this place while walking the streets. Not a very creative name. But then again, there were very few places with creative names in China Town. We stopped into a little restaurant called "China Town Restaurant"... they had AWESOME pork buns though.

The place we stopped for lunch was called Capital. AMAZING Mu Shu Pork, they also had the best Sweet and Sour Pork my dad has had in a VERY LONG time... he said.

Here's a pic of a shop we stopped in.

It's a little fuzzy but that's probably good since these figures are carved in the shape of the Kamasutra... If you look close you might even find one carved into a MALE part AND a FEMALE part... :)

And here's one zoomed in and not fuzzy :)

These are apparently carved out of solid ivory. Price tags read between $2500 and $3500. But that could have been in chinese Yuan or Japanese Yen... I hope Japanese yen because the exchange rate is much higher...

anyway,

Saw this truck, pretty cool...

More updates after my trip to Industrial Light and Magic tomorrow...

For those of you who don't know what that is... They do all the special effects for just about any movie you can think of... Starting with Star Wars. :)
