Vancouver Convention Center

Lunch at Urban Fair. The curry chicken salad was delicious, and portion was huge too!

Went to the open house of the Vancouver Convention Center afterward. Personally, that place was disappointing. I guess I was expecting Star Trek but found 50's retro instead. The walls were covered with ceder blocks without finish. The carpet was brownish orange (different colour combo at different parts, but just as bad). Hanging yellowish cylindrical lamp shades. Not enough escalators. I'm sorry, this is supposed to be brand new, how come it looks like it's got 40 years of wear?

Well... The view was awesome, though. For today's occasion, there were performances to entertain the crowd. Insane line up for balloons for your kids. I didn't see any cafeteria. Instead, there was a table with bags of chips and cans of drink. Not free, alas. Same price as vending machine. At least it's good that they didn't jack up the price.

The basement was quite big. A+B+C hall all together add up to about the same size as Big Sigh's east hall in Japan.

Poor Andrew forgot his keys...
