UBC will accommodate people during the uni vacations. Uni residences are usually cheap and clean and near facilities. Its a good option to hotels and good for backpackers. UBC has gorgeous grounds and the accomm is clean and well kept.
One of the most memorable camping trips was in the backwoods logging areas of British Columbia. A campground stumbled upon late in the day offered fresh baked apple pies upon request. Needless to say, we ordered two pies that evening. We woke to a breathtaking sunrise and picked wild strawberries for breakfast.
Not only you, but also the canadians dream about goping to Quebec, but if once you come in the winter, please pay attention in the surroundings of the city, and you will find a wonderful place in the mountains...SAINTE ANNE!!! :)In my opinion it is the best place for skiing in Quebec Province, at least it is not so Hollywood style like Tremblent.I love Tremblent for sure, but in Sainte Anne you will be more in touch with the winderful Quebecois!February 2005
We were driving down the Alcan Highway and spotted at least 4 bears within 10 miles. They all come out to suck the salt off the streets that the Canadians do during the winter and when it melts the salt drifts to the edges and cracks so if ur driving at night then make sure your careful of animals sheep and moose do it too!
I decided i wanted to explore a little bit down the badlands where theres a trail I found out that if you get in the mud thats slightly dried over and looks stable but is definately not. It took me a half ahour to wash off my leg in the Red Deer River near there ferry crossing.
The Laurentides - A real shelter from Montrealers are the Laurentides, a beautiful region of lakes and mountains where most of the people ahve their chalets!;)I was sooo stupid, I was extremely convinced that I was at lake Superior, that famous and big lake in North America, but the real Superior was quite far from me!And I just wanted to go there because I saw the roads signs, and we decided to make a stop there!It is also a place for the bears in this province, but it was winter and for sure everybody was sleeping!I love this picture, and I am sure you will like it too!January 25th, 2005
In 1815, Edward Pakenham was very busy fighting in the Battle of New Orleans, he was a nice british general who were born in the County Westmeath, Ireland.If he were alive today he would be 227 years old, too old to ski in Pakenham Hill. He was born in 1778. But if he were alive he woudl see a nice and very pleasant little canadian town in Ontario that I had the honor to visit!And I saw the only bridge in north america with 5 archs!;)THE PAKENHAM BRIDGE!Pakenham was defeated in Chalmottem, Louisiana, but at elast now he is a name of a city in Canada and he has a bridge in his name!;) Ohh and before I forget, there is also a Hill with his name as well!I know that there is also another Pakenham town in Australia, but not as cold as our canadian villages!;)February 2005
Enjoy Canada, it is a beautiful country. You can find a lot of wildlife if you take the time, and go off the beaten path. These are the highlights of my vacation, spotting this bear in the wild, seeing the moose, deer, or a squirrel somewhere in a tree. hearing the coyotes howling in the distance when you are camping, hear the water streaming in the rivers, or the thundery noise of a waterfall. Every part of Canada is different, but it all has it's own charm and beauty. As long as you go off the beaten path, you can find all the beauty Canada has to offer.
The Dr. Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden is a chinese garden located in Vancouver's busy Chinatown. The garden was designed to resemble Taoist gardens in China where one went to experience tranquility. Being located in such a crowded and bustling section of Vancouver you will find that dropping in on the park can be a welcome relief. The Dr. Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden was created in 1985-86 and was the first full scale Chinese garden constructed outside of China. It was created along the same lines as those of the Ming Dynasty. The plants grown in the garden are the same that you would find in China. Each plant is meant to set a certain mood. The garden is named after Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, considered to be the father of Modern China. The hours of the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden vary dramatically throughout the year. Check the website below for the time of season you...
