_ Oops sorry Bill and Peter and every one ... I had to make an edit to my post # 1019535 :) to say that Peter Tallman, an excellent Mineral Geologist and Prospector had already guessed it ... or at lest given a very good hint ;) Peter Tallman, wrote the following Bill, we've got to stop meeting like this. I'd love to stay and have a fine spot of tea with you further on around the corner, but I'm sorry I really really do have to go now. Some other time perhaps? so with Peter's hint about a "spot of tea" ... I feel soo guilty ... it was too easy for me ... to say that my guess is ;) BC Parliament Buildings, Victoria, the Capital of British Columbia Canada ;) sorry, Bill, Peter, ... and every one :-( Best wishes to ever one :) Byron |

Sorry for the delay everyone. My DSL died yesterday afternoon. The ISP blames Bell, Bell blames the ISP, and I'm stuck using dial-up unitl they sort it out. Byron, you are correct. Peter's comment wasn't really that big a clue, Canadians do drink tea in places other than Victoria ;). Over to you Byron. |

Add my best wishes for Byron. Anyway, here is another pix. Half points for the town, but need the name of the bridge for full points. First hint: possibly the best dim sum on the planet is found at about the centre of this picture. |

What is "dim sum"? Tullio |

I believe the literal translation is "small plate" chinese ... "brunch" usually, you pick what you want from a large variety of delicacies and pay according to the number/color of the plates. Steam pork buns, "chicken paws", tarts.... good stuff. Janice |

I always thought it a lunch thing. Hint: go with somebody who talks the lingo Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! |

Around my home town (Trieste) a "giardinetto" means salame, prosciutto, cheese, boiled eggs and sausages, both Vienna and kranski. Tullio |

Not Ontario. Soft^spirit is right on about dim sum. A wonderful way to waste a few hours and gain a few pounds. |

Next hint - that is the oldest Chinatown in the Canadian prairies behind the bridge. |

Skildude, to be fair Edmonton is one of the cities that makes that claim, but I think they are wrong. Chris, Victoria isn't on the prairies. |
