Our family home was just a couple of blocks from Central Park. We played lots of "Cowboys and Indians" there and built forts and climbed trees.
From the Vancouver Sun today:
"Central Park hosts Chinese-style matchmaking, as parents seek wedded bliss for kids
In a corner of a park in Metro Vancouver, the hunt for marital bliss is on.
Groups of middle-aged and elderly Chinese speakers pass around their smartphones or photos plucked from wallets, smiling and nodding their greetings before getting down to business.
Do you have a daughter or a son? How old are they? Where did they go to university? Where do they work? And perhaps most importantly — why are they still single?
Central Park in Burnaby has become a matchmaking corner for parents, replicating a phenomenon seen in some cities in China."
