All right, so I came here to Vancouver, Canada few days ago for a conference. Although I must say that I didn’t get enough time to go around and see the city, I still have only good feelings about the city. There were several things that impressed me. Probably the most striking feature was the diverse ethnic backgrounds of the people. It is very difficult, if not impossible to say where in the world you are by just looking at the people. Yes, I have been to New York many times but it was a much more diverse crowd than I have seen in Manhattan.
Weather was great; especially coming from Baltimore, from a very hot and humid weather, this was a nice break. Temperature was really moderate, pretty cold at night; cold enough that one needs an extra layer of clothing.
People were nice, polite, down to earth. City was clean, and scenery was beautiful. Stanley Park is a great place to hang out, Granville Island is a nice place for shopping. I was particularly struck by the view of snow covered peaks from the middle of the city; amazing view!
Coming back here? For sure, hopefully soon.
