Jan 3!!!!

Darn... Desudesu can't make it before 3:30 and I can't make it after that (working...).

But I was just talking to Twill and she hasn't ever had Dim Sum before! And for me, the idea of going for decent dim sum one last time before heading back up to Edmonton is very pleasing.

For those of you who do not know what Dim Sum is, it is one of the most famous types of food that is native to Cantonese cuisine. It's not just one kind of food, but a term that incompasses a whole variety of dishes using ingredients that are farmiliar to all of us, but presented and prepared in a way that maybe be different or foreign from what some of us are used to. Also, dim sum is a very "lunch-y" kind of outing and the loud and boisterous atmosphere would be perfect for a group like us (we can be as loud as we want and no one would care!)

I know of two awesome restaurants for Dim Sum, one at the corner of Centre Street and 16th Ave (New Asia) and one over the Pacific Place in the North East (English name escapes me for the moment...).

If we're going to the Centre Street one, my plan is to have people who can drive/are going to have cars for the day (ie. Me, for one), go and pick up people who do not have cars (ie. I could pick up Obsidian and/or Nyx) and meet at one central location at 11:00AM (ie. Twill's place, since it would be on the way to downtown) and then go in a giant conoy to the restaurant.

If we're going to the NE one, those of use close to the Dalhousie station would ride the train down to meet those close to the Brentwood station and then we could all train it to Franklin LRT station, which is right next to the mall OR we could repeat the plan that I made up above.

So comment and tell me what you think, but hurry! Jan. 3 is coming soon!
