Chinatown In Ottawa
I love ethnic neighborhoods.
I use to hang out in Chinatown a lot in France. As a student of Chinese language, it was the best place to pick up notebooks and 小说 (novels), chopsticks and bamboo baskets to steam dumplings.
Ottawa’s Chinatown is quite small and not as colorful as in other cities. Yet, it’s a great place to go out for a walk, to sample authentic Chinese roasted pork, Vietnamese Pho and Korean Kimchi, to buy noodles, tofu and dried mushrooms.
I like the old houses along Somerset Street, where Chinatown is located. It’s a relaxed and artsy neighborhood where walls and painted and people actually walk around instead of driving.

Hello! Been a while…:)
Yes chinatowns! A haven world over for an asian immigrant like me indeed. I cannot wait for one to be set up in the moon. They are getting there with their taikonauts, in a decade or so! LOL!

i read somewhere that san francisco’s
chinatown is the largest outside of china.
but oddly, except for a few hole-in-the-wall
restaurants that stay open until early
morning (and what fun they are to visit
at 2am), it’s like a ghost town at night
because most everything else shuts down.

There is no China town in Oslo, Norway — so thanks for taking us with to yours. You’ve documented the aria very well with your photo (as always!)
Happy Sunday and a great week ahead.
Btw: I had a visit from a Singaporean in Oslo last week. You may read about my guiding through the city in my last post. Do you think you would consider to participate if I organize a blog gathering next August?

Lovely tour! I like going to Chinatown because the crowd, noise and dirt reminds me, strangely, of Indian markets… LOL

That’s pretty.
It’s a bit too fake for my liking though.
