If you go out toward the outskirts of Los Angeles, though, you find all the real Chinese restaurants and dim sum houses and herb shops. I went once with my Chinese acupuncturists, and it was truly like being in a foreign country!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-11534034828289479512015-02-19T20:37:03.459-08:002015-02-19T20:37:03.459-08:00Ms. Moon -- My father has an abysmal sense of dire...Ms. Moon -- My father has an abysmal sense of direction, as do I and my son Henry.

I think that's how we really get to know our children (if we ever really can). It looks like incredible fun, especially at the smaller function, that would be my style too.<br /><br />I used to live in LA , just off Wilshire Blvd, a few blocks up from the Coconut Grove...or is it Copa Cabana? Whatever. I loved living there. But I never did see the China Town there. Didn't have a good tour guide like Oliver, but then he was even born yet!<br /><br />Thanks for the great pictures. I could hear the firecrackers!livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-83777958923714860592015-02-19T16:04:33.789-08:002015-02-19T16:04:33.789-08:00Emma -- I did see that story when it came up -- so...Emma -- I did see that story when it came up -- so amazing.
