What's New?
23rd August
Well time has flown and lots has happened with my life.
I am now a
proud father and as such site updates have been impacted I'm afraid!
CantoDict is still going strong though and I hope to find time for some useful updates soon.
On a less positive note, we are currently undergoing a spam attack, so please bear with us while we
try and deal with this.

In-N-Out Wouldn’t Take My Order… So I Went Into Chinatown Before Closing

I went into Chinatown before closing and asked if any shops had leftover food they’d be willing to discount if I bought what was left. Little by little, one yes turned into another - and by the end, I brought trays of Chinese food, bakery items, and desserts back to feed people on the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin.
What started as a quiet ask became more than I expected. Not just food, but small moments of kindness, people remembering what was brought before, and care continuing even after the meal was over.
This mission is never only about food.
It’s about presence.
It’s about returning.
It’s about carrying what you can, and meeting people where they are with dignity, compassion, and care.

Had the Digital Yuan already been widespread, then the CCP could have stop the outflow of capital to the greenback in the case below. And should that had happen, then nervous investors will have even more reasons to be even more nervous about the Digital Yuan which is designed to hold your investment hostage.

The dollar climbed on Monday as protests against Covid restrictions in China rattled financial markets, sending the yuan sliding and pushing nervous investors toward the safe-haven greenback.

"We wanted to control its destiny," Eugene Lau said. "The most important thing for us is that we come back to Chinatown. We have to figure it out."
Alvin Lau echoed that sentiment, noting the move was a way to "reconnect with culture, kind of pay respects to our parents, our old heritage, but also bring in all the new stuff." 05/28/2026 by ♭♫
[+-]The Communist Democratic party of California is following the CCP playbook on censorship in Hong Kong with the Nick Shirley Act and many major companies have already divested out of California. Protecting criminals and fraud defines the Democratic Party of the United States of America and that makes you wonder which American politicians really belong in jail for aiding and abetting fraud against the American tax payers.

The Nick Shirley Act actually looks like it is really protecting corrupt Communist politicians like Gavin Newsom with conflicts of interests from being investigated like Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz as if they were in California.

Los Angeles is dying! Hollywood and Beverly Hills stores are going out of business! L.A is definitely not what it used to be. In this video I will take you on a tour through Hollywood, West Hollywood, and Beverly Hills to show you the aftermath of COVID 4 years later and the results of the decisions our elected officials have made for our city and the state of California.

Los Angeles is definately not a good place to go to if you are interested in learning Cantonese. Unlike Toronto, Vancouver, or SF, LA has never been a popular immigrating destination for Hong Kong people. All you have in LA is a bunch of Immigrants from Vietnam of Chinese descent who speaks awkward Cantonese and call themselves the 'HK Wannabees"

[]Why do so many American cities have Chinatowns? A look at San Francisco's famed district reveals the truth. Chinese immigrants arriving in San Francisco often preferred to live with other members of their culture. But discriminatory laws hastened the growth of the country's first Chinatown.

I could totally identify and empathize with the responsibility of having to work in a family’s business. I spent weekends and summers working at my Dad’s store when I was 11 years old. It always felt like a no-win dilemma, acquiescing with resentment or feeling guilty and ungrateful for refusing to help. All the while knowing my friends were having fun on their weekends and summers.
