Vancouver
When: November 2002, for a week.
Why: visit to Simon Frasier University, and ISAAC conference.
This is a nice looking city, surrounded by water and mountains. The
weather was quite pleasant, for canadian standards in november. I heard
that some of the neighborhoods near where I stayed (relatively down town)
are rough, and I saw a few signs of that. There is a lot of
interesting oriental
influence here. And *really* good sushi!
