I am in the beautiful city of Vancouver, BC, Canada. I can't say enough about this city. The trip started off rocky with a little trouble with the border patrol. This city of grand sights and street by street economical contradictions, has a quant charm. Many compare this city to San Francisco and it is well deserved. Not only is it a city y the Bay, Stanley Park is twin to SF's Golden Gate Park. With snow caped mountains in the background Vancouver is a city where forest meets, sea meets mountains.
Much of the city is undergoing renovation. Condos and high rise apartments are sprouting up along the cities bay area. Setting the stage for high priced waterfront living. These new developments are setting the stage for a showdown between the cities huge homeless population and city officials.
Other than the social tension Vancouver offers many parks, venues and elegant restaurants. A low priced transit system allows you to flow through the city via, bus, skytrian, or ferry on one low fare. Vancouver is a tourist friendly city once again drawing comparisons to San Fran. The prices of food may surprise you in Canada. The slight higher value of the dollar won't do much for the price differences. So be prepared to spend a little more cash for meals. All in all it will make for a great place to get away.
Here are a few places to look into:
Medina's Cafe
The Republic Night Club
The Shark Bar-sports bar
Waterfront Park
Vancouver Aquarium
