In Mapple Country
I am in Vancouver, BC, Canada right now. I came here to renew my US student visa, and that took a whole of 45 mins this morning. I have been roaming around the city all day, and I think I am falling in love with it. The people are nice; the weather is fabulous; the sights are fantastic; and the traffic is bearable. The only thing that irks me is the presence of hookers in every single street corner. You cannot take a walk in peace after dark without being propositioned a couple of dozen times.
This city is pretty unique. The roads downtown are lined with a number of “robo-bears” that are auctioned every year for charitable purposes. A few miles from downtown is a dense forest with a really cool suspension bridge. They have live native(?) music at a park next to the bridge. Oh.. and the best part… they have a really long road that hugs the marina overlooking downtown. After sundown, it was a wonderful experience to sit there in the dark, looking at skyline, listening to music with a stiff breeze blowing across your face.
