Hi, everyone!

I'm about to go to Vancouver for the first time to participate in a workshop on early music. I'll be pretty busy during the week, but have a few weekend days to sight see and experience the city/beach/everything.

If you live there or have been there, could you tell me your favorite places? What are the things that I should absolutely not miss while I'm there? Any hints or tips to getting around the city? I'm staying on UBC's campus for close proximity to the music building.

I'm very excited to go since I've never visited that part of North America and it looks soooooo beautiful.

Thanks for your help!!
