I logged onto Blogger to post some tourism links I found but then started writing a post about why Canada? why Vancouver? because I know my friends think I am going only because Jensen Ackles makes a show there, and thats only the smallest reason WHY I am going. BUT I want this to be about the tourism links I found so i will save that other ramble fest till another time.<\/p>\n
So yeah – my interest in Canada in the past has been more on the eastern side (I have had online friends based in Toronto, Firda lives ina places called Waterloo in Ontario, I am the biggest geek for the Anne of Green Gables series so Prince Edward Island is like ‘OMGAWD I HAVE TO GO THERE ONE DAY!!!’ \ud83d\ude00
\nBut when I decided ‘YAY I go to Canada’ there WAS a small bit of ‘ooh tv shows i like i made there’ but a bunch of things I would like to visit in the US are on the West Coast (the main exceptions that I want to visit are New York and New Orleans) so I figured if I am gonna choose a major Canadian city to base myself Vancouver would be the better choice.<\/p>\n
I know very little about Vancouver…well I did – I HAVE been researching (yay they have public transport which I need because i cant drive). And there is a lot more I need to research about how things work in Canada, but today I decided to look up things to do in Vancouver because I am inherently lazy and will probably most of the time be too lazy (or broke – haha) to make an effort to leave the city, so I am looking for things I can check out near there.<\/p>\n
Anyways I found a site called Canada.Travel<\/a> and I went to the lil page about Vancouver<\/a> and it had a list of 10 tourist attractions. I checked out all the links and the last one is the Capilano Suspension Bridge<\/a> (which OMGAWD LOOKS SO AWESOME even though I get major vertigo with heights + movement). It had a link to a page to preview what its like to visit and the page<\/a> has a bunch of videos of other tourist attractions in and around Vancouver. The guys in the vids is a completely annoying prat but I now have a bunch more places I wanna visit! WOO!<\/p>\n ~ Capilano Suspension Bridge<\/a> (OH MY GOD!!! AWESOME!)
\n~ Burnaby Village Museum<\/a> – its like Sovereign Hill in Victoria! I LOVE FAKE HISTORIC TOWNS! HISTORY GEEK-OUT!!!
\n
\n~ Grouse Mountain<\/a> – the vid shows stuff you can do in summer which is what I would like to do, but right now their website is showing the winter stuff. I guess I should try skiing or snowboarding or something when I go eh? I do LOVE cold weather!
\n~ Hells Gate Airtram<\/a> – cooool!
\n~Minter Gardens<\/a> – omgawd so pretty! Maybe take one of the dolls there for a photo shoot?
\n~ Vancouver Aquarium<\/a> – beluga whales<\/a>? cute Sea Otters<\/a>? OMGAWD I WANNA SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
