I had a short stay in Vancouver. Right away you notice the gorgeous setting. As this was my first stop on Canadian soil I was told that Vancouver was the most expensive city in Canada. It has a real nice West Coast laid back mellow vibe. Right away you notice everyone is real friendly. The length of my visit was just too short to see much of the city but i got to see a few of the highlights.
Sweet setting!
- Pros:gorgeous setting, real friendly locals, clean, great asian food
- Cons:some parts of downtown are kinda dodgy, rain all the time
- In a nutshell:nice and laid back

I loved Vancouver. Thought it a very nice city. Thanks for bringing back many happy memories.
We really enjoyed our time in Vancouver. By the way, the totems are definitely in Stanley Park.
A part of Canada I've never visited. Hope to get there someday. Thanks for checking out my Canada page.
I love the Canadians and their humor as well, I visit Canada every year now :) And I always seek out Chinatowns where ever I go.
Hi Val
Hoping that we might get to Vancouver later in the year, if a business meeting goes to plan.
Thanks for the virtual introduction!
Regards
Cathy
