ANTH 324 – Vancouver Field Trip
Experiencing food culture in Vancouver, 18 November 2005
On the initiative of the class, a decision was made to experience food culture directly as a group by visiting Vancouver’s Chinatown and Tosi & Company (624 Main Street) – the last business representing the former Italian enclave. Planning and organisation was student driven; thanks, Ricky!
