British Columbia

It's true. The Canadian's are the politest group of people I've ever met (though I haven't been to Japan!). It's impossible to be in a bad mood in Canada, because everyone always says 'hello' and asks you how you are regardless of whether it's in the street, in a shop or restaurant. It never sounds false either.

Christmas day Sovereign lake, VErnon BC

Through the treehole

I had my best ever christmas in Canada. We went snow shoeing on xmas day on sovereign lake. It was incredible. much better than watching Christmas TV in Britain!

The Rockies

rocky waterfall

Of course a trip to BC or Alberta is not complete without a visit to the Rocky Mountains. They really are rather LARGE!! All the rivers and lakes among them are incredible shades of blues, greens and turquoises. It's something you really should see at least once in your life!

Pros and Cons

Pros:The People, Nature and ROOT BEER!!!!!
Cons:It gets COLD!
In a nutshell:One of the most beautiful and friendliest places in the world!

I really enjoyed your BC page, partly because of the enthusiasm that showed through on every one of your tips! You took some amazing photos and had even better insights into what being 'Canadian' means!! Very well done.

Glad you enjoyed yourself in our part of Canada, found your page full of great tips and one that is very enjoyable to read. Must agree the west is full of natural beauty and you need a car to really enjoy the out of the way places.
