Vancouver - 15.03 - 19.03.

After my short stay in Seattle i headed further north to the City Vancouver in Canada. As soon as we entered Canada the weather seemd to get worse and it seemed to get colder as you can see on the picture down below.

Vancouver seemed to be a nice city on the first sight, where you can go out very nice in the evening. You can really go out there very nice as it turned out later, but the night clubs cost quite a lot of admission to get in - especially on weekends. Usually it is something between 5-10$. On weekend you pay 15-20$. Well as a mate from Sweden (who i had met before in San Francisco) told me, this is still a lot cheaper than in Sweden, because there you pay around 30$!
The Steet which i stayed in in Vancouver was called Granville Street, and is one of the best streets if you want to go out in the evening.

I didn't stay for very long in Vancouver. Only about 3 days. So on one of the days i went to China Town with my swedish mate. China Town is really tiny, very touristy and not as good as the China Town in San Francisco. Don't go there! I only wanted to go there because i hoped to buy some cheap vegetables in one of the chines supermarkets. In the end i only found only one supermarket. The rest were all Restaurants and other strange shops. At least the supermarket was as cheap as expected.

On another day in Vancouver i went the so called Stanley Park in Vancouver. To get there , we walked all the way from the hostel. As soon as we arrived at the harbour it was photo time and i got a picture taken with me and harbour in the background showing the asian peace fingers. Peace!

Then we continued our way to the Park. At the beginning of the Park we met another guy from the hostel who had come there to take some photos.  He was from England and very friendly. We talked for a while and then started to walk through the park all together, which was really nice. So we walked to a point where we saw a bridge which looked a bit like the Golden Gate Bridge, just in Green. The bridge connects this part of Vancouver with North-Vancouver.

After the walk through the Stanley Park, we walked back to the hostel. On the way back we stopped in a small restaurant at the coast. There we had a big basket of Tortillas, with cheese and all kind of stuff. Jammy! Jammy!
