The Chinese bunkhouse was a remarkably well-kept and informative exhibit on some of the conditions that early Chinese migrant workers lived and worked. It was a moving experience for me because my great-grandfather came to Canada during this time (early 1900s). I cannot imagine leaving your family behind, and taking a steamship that would take 35-45 days to reach Vancouver - only to face such harsh living conditions. At least today we have the internet to stay connected.
