Left Whistler on Saturday morning for Vancouver. Spent a bit of time on Wreck Beach. Many stoned, nude revellers playing tunes and singing away the day on the beach. Dinner with Pei from Taiwan at a Thai restaurant that evening. Sunday morning went to a Chinese Buddhist temple at 49th and Fraser St. Watched monks and others chant and drum in unison with incense in the air. They have a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian Bill of Rights, and a Canadian flag prominently displayed in the temple. Freedom of worship. Sunday afternoon coffee with Korean Hyun, then a walk up and down a Commercial drive closed to vehicular traffic. Lost count of how many languages I heard. Folk Fest for an hour after that. Outside the gate. Costs a fortune to get into that thing. Great tunes though. An African group was playing while we were there. Hyun is a classically trained pianist. Say that ten times fast. We went into her studio where she works after hours and she put on a brilliant private show for me. She knew every tune I could come up with. I ended up laying across her piano wearing Hyun's red dress with a cigarette going, singing 'All Of Me' while she belted out the piano tunes. All but last line are true.
