Vancouver BC

It's been almost 9 years since I moved to Washington State and I'd been wanting to go to Canada ever since... finally I get to add it to my tourist list as 8th Country I've been to (it doesn't really count since I was there for less than 24 hours, but I'll go back). Vancouver's skyline is gorgeous, full of open spaces while at the same time packed with high rise buildings from side to side. Downtown is very urban, storefronts and apartments in the same buildings  people out on the streets at all times, sidewalk cafes and an HMV give it a somewhat European touch, perfect. Seems like there's a strong Asian presence, as always very trendy and refreshing, didn't see any harajuku girls but I'm sure there's something like that.
Stanley Park is a must, it has endless possibilities for photography and just hanging out.
The Above and Beyond concert was awesome, I finally got to dance for a whole night (I don't really like rap or hip-hop) to some amazing euro-dance/techno, and while it was at the equivalent of Neighbors  I must say the Vancouver female quorum was definitely something to look at, but since I'm taken I pretty much danced alone for the most part. Tobs and I had a great time and I can't wait to go back.
