where i live there are iranians, africans, yuogoslavians, romanians, ontarians and koreans all in one building

just up the street is an eastern european grocery store which sells russian &
polish etc stuff and across the street from that is a Persian grocery store - and further up is another persian shop next to a korean run store etc etc

maybe vancouver doesn't have the huge numbers that new york has but it certainly has the various cultures
