What to do:

                The reason I came to Vancouver is because I was feeling guilty travelling so much, but not seeing more of my own country. I did not expect to enjoy Vancouver as much as I did, and I decided to scrap all my plans to explore the west coast USA, and just soak up Vancouver for 2 weeks. I really liked staying in Vancouver because it’s a tiny city, and everything is no more then a 40-minute walk away. I spent the first few days exploring the city the same way I do in Toronto, walking around all the streets and exploring the different areas within the downtown core. Granville Street is the lively club street lined with shops, clubs, bars, hostels, strip clubs, and cheap drunk food. Robson Street is the nice well-lit shopping street with large malls, known brand chains, and restaurants. Davie Street is where the gay area is, and here you’ll find the best restaurants in Vancity, this is where everyone from my hostel went for dinner. Denman street is a great street with little shops, interesting cafes, unique and authentic international food, with a ‘hip’ vibe. The moment when I really started enjoying Vancity on the next level was when I explored off the downtown core, and ventured out to places like Stanley Park (which is a short walk away from downtown!), and North Vancouver. Stanley Park is the most beautiful park I have ever been in my life so far, and I came back to this park every single day after discovering it for the first time. I would walk or bike along the SeaWall, or explore the ponds and nature in the park, and appreciate all the beauty and nature around me. If I lived in Vancouver, I think I would bike along the SeaWall at least 6 days a week, because you see Mountains and Water and Bridges and Colors and Clouds and stunning skies and boats and trees and … it’s definitely a view. The SeaWalk circles around the tip of the park, so every few minutes biking you have a completely new view.
