As I lived in Vancouver, Canada, when I had spare time, I often went to Vancouver Aquarium to see killer whales (Orcas). I also went to Museum of Anthropology in USC many times. I'm interested in Native culture. The Museum houses some 535,000 ethnographic and archaeological objects, many of which originate from the Northwest Coast of British Columbia. Massive totem poles, carved boxed, bowls, and feast dishes are featured in this Museum's Great Hall. "The Raven and the First Men" is highlight of this building.
The 1976 building was designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, who took his inspiration from traditional northern Northwest Coast post-and-beam style architecture. "Great Hall" has a good view of the sunset. You can enjoy nature and native culture at the same time! If you see a movie, "Intersection", you may be noticed this building. Richard Gere and Sharon Stone were in this movie.
Additional tip, you can eat buffalo burger at the entrance! That was the first time I tasted it. That was between pork and beef taste. If you are curious about buffalo meat, let's go! ha, ha.

面白そうな~。ところですね~。
なぜか小さいときにトーテム・ポールの記憶が…
小学校にそれらしいものがあったのか???
それともどこかに遊びに行ったときにあったのか???
新しく完成したら一緒に行きましょう!!!
色々と案内してください。
なぜか小学校卒業するときに、学校に卒業生が彫って寄与しなかった?だから小学校=トーテム・ポールってイメージがあるんじゃないかな。(笑)
いや~、スポットでは案内できても、街全体がリトル香港になっているんだろうな~。リトル香港どころじゃなくって、メージャー香港だねきっと。high riseビルがせっかくの景色を邪魔して建っているからねぇ~。
