Off topic for a second, Vancouver is on my short list of cities to visit. One of my favorite authors, Douglas Coupland is from Vancouver and wrote a nice book about the city called "City of Glass". So far I have travelled through a good chunk of Eastern Canada. Toronto was excellent, super clean, super organized, but maybe not as much fun as some other cities. Montreal was grittier, but was my favorite, with all the colleges in close proximity it has a really hip young vibe. Quebec City was nice, but so touristy that it felt like being at disney world. Niagara falls.... what can you say really, if you like casinos, breakfast dives and adult entertainment then I guess it's your place. Oh yeah, and there is a waterfall too, just remember stay on the Canadian side, the New York half is a rough place! Ok I've gushed enough, I can't help it when Canada comes up. I have to get a passport to go back.... which I am less than thrilled about.
