The erhu has such a lovely plaintive sound. Simple, yet elegantly so.   iWalk: ~Sounds like you have many good memories! The grocery stands and fish stores always fascinate me -I don't think food could be much fresher (so much of it is still alive)!   The erhu does have a sad sound. The depth and honesty of that sadness wrap around its tones in such a beautiful way. Amer: I’d be interested in your New York Chinatown experience as I haven’t been there yet.

Yeah, I has my breakfast every morning when I visited SF, Many Chinese food there. :) Erhu is one of my favorite tranditional instrument. The music erhu played sounds sad, isn't it?

It's fun to explore alternate facets of the same place: geology, history, culture, biology...   BodyC: Thanks for the visit and the "thumbs up!"   Brian: Interesting sound, yes? For me, it was a "so THAT's where that music comes from!" (Come back again soon!)   Rino: San Francisco's Chinatown is an almost overwhelming sensory experience if you let all your senses gather in the surroundings at once. I tend to walk those streets pretty slowly!   I understand that "noodle pulling" is practically an art. ~Must have been quite entertaining! Thank you, Donald.

When I heard it again in Chinatown, I was pleased to finally match the instrument to its lovely music!   ChinaCarService: Thanks for the visit!   Thanks Graham. It was interesting to me; glad you liked it too! Rainfield: The erhu has a distinctive voice. When I heard it again in Chinatown, I was pleased to finally match the instrument to its lovely music!

The last time I went there however was more than a year ago. I went with the Firefly Brigade bike group to eat at a small noodle house and it was great. It was the first time I actually witnessed hand-pulled noodles being made. Hi Heather,
