Check out my trip up the Sea to Sky Gondola, less than an hour's drive from Vancouver: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fENbda4-vjQ.html
Such a cool place to go and visit and hang out. I was lucky enough to visit Vancouver from the UK with a friend from the UK and a Canadian friend in 2012. We visited Granville Island and I thought the place was awesome! Residents of Vancouver are very lucky to have such a place on their doorstep.
I'm going there next week. How is the parking in Granville island ? Last time I went, I can't find one. In case I find one this time, how to pay for parking ?
I am from the UK, I found Granville Island a little bit touristy and contrived. It was too boring for me. I think it could do with a bit of greenery, I couldn't deal with all the white buildings.The only think I liked were the pancakes and maple syrup. Lots of markets are like this now and so it is not that exciting. The countryside round Vancouver is more lovely and more unique and I liked the indigenous heritage which is more unique to the area.
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherland, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. I'm so sorry for Canada. Canadian and Canadian Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe or the United States. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian-Indonesian or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beach. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country.
