Just outside of the Stadium-Chinatown Skytrain station, a globe greets those visiting the International Village.
International village is where east meets west – literally and metaphorically. Located at 88 West Pender Street, it sits at the centre of the city; dividing the downtown core and East Vancouver. Metaphorically it has combined the flavours of Asia with Chinese and Japanese stores, and Western culture represented by a movie theatre, fast food restaurants and big name coffee shops. Ana Chi takes a look at what a rainy day at International Village looks like.
