Another of the facets of Chinatown that I experienced when Fern and I took the Chinatown Tour was Chinese traditional medicine - we went into a Chinese herbalist shop and looked around. Above are the bins of Ginseng - this stuff is expensive! Below is what I hope would be prescribed for me. I am fond of fungi though this one is not one I've seen before.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Some curiously textured items!
Chinese herbal medicine is pretty mystical. I was given a sack full of stuff to brew into a tea to help with my allergies. Unfortunately it was so awful that I couldn't choke it down. There is a reality show on here in the USA about 'ginsengers' who harvest the stuff in the forests...it's pretty cut throat and they make a ton of money.
