and now that I think about, it, I think you'd really like the museum of anthropology at UBC. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 21:33
Hmm. It's the coastal cruise I'm looking at. Would arrive in Vancouver in the morning. I could probably get a flight home that afternoon, but I've - Meg Nov 7, 18:24 6
- in May, you say? I'd stay, but then I'm biased. Stanley Park is nice, and the aquarium there is pretty great. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 21:28 1
  - (I could recommend a few restaurants too, depending on where you end up staying). -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 21:32
- Vancouver's nice. In addition to the list below, there's also science world. If you've got *lots* of time, there's also the capilano suspension bridge - Beryllium Nov 7, 18:25 2
  - This would be in May. I saw some walking tours - historic Vancouver after dark type things - that look like they could be fun. -- nm - Meg Nov 7, 18:46 1
    - It's a good time to visit. The azaleas should be blooming. -- nm - tobor.2 Nov 7, 19:14
- It's beautiful and there's plenty to see. -- nm - tobor.2 Nov 7, 18:25
It's worth a day. Stanley Park is nice, and the art gallery has some nice collection of First Nations art and Emily Carr paintings (if you like that) -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 18:19
fwiw, I only spent a few days in Vancouver during a trip; but I wished it had been more. it's like san francisco, only cleaner - b. Nov 7, 18:09 11
- I'm saving this for the girl (she's from Edmonton and gets annoyed when I rave about Vancouver). -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 21:26
- Never apologize for insulting edmonton. It deserves it. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 18:14 9
  - I said "no offense"! it was ok and there were some good non-mall things; but I wished that part had been shorter, vancouver longer. - b. Nov 7, 18:19 8
    - "edmonton: so boring, you'll wonder if you've been gassed" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 18:21 3
      - *laugh* dang. (and sigh, y'all down there. pfft. "no comparison" doesn't mean it doesn't have its own features.) -- nm - b. Nov 7, 18:35 2
        
        I drove through there one summer. The crab at their red lobster was better than the red lobster in vegas. - Beryllium Nov 7, 19:04 1

    - But "no offence" always means you're about to say something offensive. -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 18:21 3
      - very similar to "I don't mean to be a racist but..." -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 7, 18:23 2
        
        Well, not in this case. And like I said, edmonton deserves it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 18:24 1
        
        well I'm no scientist but..... -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 7, 18:29
