Take time to drift thru the coffeeshops on Commercial Avenue for sure. But dress warm, shit is it cold now!
Some how I find it hard to believe Vancouver is cold. Maybe it is because the high today where I'm from got to -18C, -30C with the wind chill. Vancouver was 1C, that seems like tshirt weather to me now.
When I go to Vancouver I hit up: New Amsterdam Cafe & BCMP Bookstore The comic store that is right next to the Commodore Ballroom...can't remember what its called Cherrybomb-cool little t-shirt shop The Rock Shop-band t-shirts, etc Stanely Park-the aquarium & to rollerskate on the sea wall And I've gotta have at least one meal of each: East Indian & sushi
yeah check out some shops on Hastings... ccm and Amsterdam cafe but dont hang around there at night, the area is kinda rough the herb museum is pretty cool as well
