Why Vancouver, BC rocks, a list (in no particular order):
> Great food
> Most ethnically diverse city north of San Francisco
> Casper's market
> Really nice people
> True Confections, cake to die for
> TV shows anchored by average looking people, and focused on world events
> Enough affordable sushi to get Paul to stuff his mouth and then shut up about it
> Beautiful scenery all around
> Tasty drinks
> Crispy short ribs at the Cactus Club on Robson (If you've seen the "Poppler" episode of Futurama where everyone gets immediately hooked on a tasty if indescript snack, you have an inkling of the power of these ribs)
> The parity with the US dollar makes it darn easy to spend any currency
> Creperies along Robson
> They don't have our President
> Vegetarian street hot dogs
> Little Sister's store on Davie
> All the restaurants on Denman
> Stanley Park
> The Boathouse's fireplace and dessert
> Neat architecture
What kind of blows about Vancouver, BC
> Recent indoor smoking bans have perversely made walking around outside a risky venture
> It's colder than here
> The parity with the US dollar makes it darn expensive!
> The metric system
Outstanding questions from our recent visit to Vancouver:
* Why would the US border guards let a car with Canadian plates into the US that is such a POS that the two riders literally have to push it through customs with the hazard lights on?
* Is it possible to eat too much? (Experiments were suspended due to lack of intestinal fortitude)
* Umbrella or raincoat?
