Guest maantecaaa!!! Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Vancouver is beautiful, if it wasn't for the cold weather, i'd be there fast. There you should be able to stumble upon most things worth looking at. If you're into nature or scenery, i'd recommend taking the ferry across the bay to the mountain (forgot the name). The mountain has a beautiful view of the city. For a neat experience, Granville Island (an artificially constructed island, SOoo idm)has a great farmer's market with tons of food. Right next door is the Emily something something art school. So you can get your gourmet food on and then go stare at hot art chicks. The pot stores are fun, it's pretty easy to pick up around there. One thing I noticed about Vancouver (I grew up in L.A.) is how SHARP the edges of shadows are outside. In l.a., shadows have a fuzzy edge because of all the pollution that interferes with the sunlight. Up in Vancouver they have a razor's edge, almost looks like a comic book sometimes. If you have any more specific questions, I might be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lands end road Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 There is some amazing cheese cake on Granville Island. I would definitely check out the bar "Six Acres" in Gastown. Love the atmosphere there. Pretty hip but not too hipsterish. They also have an amazing beer selection. There is also an amazing selection of good niche Japanese Izakayas/Ramen shops. For Ramen I would check out Benkei, Motomachi or Kintaro which are all really close to each other (Denman/Robson area). For something other than ramen try Zakkushi which is also really close, for some wicked skewered goodness. Try the Ninniku Memaki (Garlic shoot and thin sliced pork) Vancouver also has a BookOff, which is a Japanese bookstore chain. It's basically wall to wall manga, so if youre into that then it's a dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
