Van City

Vancouver-also known as Rain City (for the amount of rain that falls here) I feel is the New York of Canada. It has the yellow cabs, great shopping, fantastic sights to see, endless entertainment and a multiracial community. I would happily pack my bags and move to this city it's so amazing, if I could bring my family and friends with me. Whats nice about Vancouver is that you can talk a five minute walk away from Main Street and end up on the beach, away from all the city buzz! A famous site in Vancouver, home to all the Rollerbladers and cyclists is Stanley Park (Vancouver's own Central Park). Over 1,000 acres of grass, paths, totem polls and even an Aquarium-this is a place that can never get boring.

Granville Island is another unique spot to Vancouver. It is a large market at the side of an beautiful marina, which is where I spent my time in Vancouver working. Inside in the market there are hundreds of different stalls so everyday I had something different for lunch! The atmosphere is incredible with buskers singing in the background, tourists from all over the world ordering lunch and people coming and going all day the place is never quiet. The island is also famous for the arts and crafts shops and the Granville Island Beer.

Every night of the week in Vancouver there always seems to be something going on, with the main street becoming pedestrianised on Friday and Saturday nights. Whether it is Ice Hockey games, concerts or going to the Irish Pub you'll be sure to enjoy yourself in Vancouver.
