THE PUB
“A LONG DAY'S REST.”
Every eve, on my own i head here to sit and enjoy the company of others who choose to do the same. Meeting people so alike.
A COLLECTION OF LOCATIONS, EACH VISITED OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE REMEMBERED.
“A LONG DAY'S REST.”
Every eve, on my own i head here to sit and enjoy the company of others who choose to do the same. Meeting people so alike.
“EVERYTHING YOU NEED.”
THE Chinese supermarket to go to, friendly staff, and everything a second generation Chinese immigrant could dream of having. Shopping Home away from home.
“A TASTE OF SOUL.”
Pale sacks stacked against a warm wall. The same person, most mornings, weighing beans without looking up.
“WHERE I MATTER.”
Held up on red columns, looking south. A landmark you stop noticing, then notice again the day a friend arrives.
“LIFELONG FRIENDS.”
String lights, long tables, a low ceiling of voices. You arrive for one thing and stay for the room.

The shops that learn your order before they learn your name.
“FRIENDLY NEIGHBOUR.”
Handwritten signage, a doorbell that needs a particular touch. The kind of places that remember what you bought last time.
