Vancouver Site Seeing

Newest model of public bus.

Vancouver has many different attractions, from the beaches in the summer time to the mountain tops in the winter. As a resident in Vancouver for many years, I am pleased to say that Vancouver is a wonderful place to live in or visit. Transportation here in Vancouver is very convenient. There are 3 different types of public transit here; Sky train, bus, or sea bus. Prices vary from $1.75-$5.00 depending on different age groups, whether or not it is a weekend, or where you are traveling to. Another thing you must absolutely be aware of when coming to Vancouver is the unpredictable weather. At times, the weather reporters can be very inaccurate. Most of the time during summer, it can be pretty obvious whether or not it would rain (if it's sunny in the morning, it will most likely be sunny the whole day). Any other time besides summer, always be prepared for the opposite of what the reporters are telling you. From what my family tells me when they come to visit is that the roads here are generally smaller than most countries. Compared to the average American lane, Vancouver's is probably 2-3 feet smaller. If you plan on driving down to or renting a car in Vancouver, this is something you should definitely be prepared for.

These are some basic facts that you might find helpful if you decide to travel to Vancouver. Everyone in general here is really nice. The crime rate here is very low (you wouldn't run into any trouble unless you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time). I will be making new posts about some must see places if you come to Vancouver. I hope you guys enjoyed reading my blog entry, there will be many more to come.
