Back from my extended week-end in Vancouver. I spent most of my time there waiting in the US consulate (immigration appointment, the original purpose of my trip), looking at the rain falling (almost all the time) but I did manage to do some sightseeing.
The city is nice, very clean but the downtown is kind of crowded for a city this size, only 2.5 millions people after all.
The bay is surrounded by nice mountains but I found it a little too industrialized compared to San Francisco for instance...
People are nice and relaxed especially compared to L.A. (that's true for so many cities anyways:-) !) but Vancouver feels sleepy and boring and not only because it is already night at 4pm...
This is the only photo I took I am not completely ashamed of, totem poles in Stanley Park, the Vancouver downtown urban forest. Always look at the camera settings before shouting, especially in manual mode...
