On Saturday February 17th, the eve of Chinese New Year, Sherri and I ventured out to the Pacific Mall in Markam. It is the largest indoor Asian Mall in North America. We immersed ourselves in the Chinese Culture, shopping along side the large Toronto Chinese population, buying decorations for Chinese New Year and eating at an authentic Chinese restaraunt. We practiced our limited Mandarin by wishing anyone who would listen a "Gong Xi Fa Cai". We also bought chinese lucky candy and chocolate gold coins to put in the Chinese New Year red envelopes that are given out to children for good luck in the new year.

It was so much fun going to this mall, I would definitely recommend it! You really feel like you're in another part of the world and I can't wait to go back!
