weekend in Vancouver

[kat_h]

For breakfast do visit the Templeton at Granville and Helmcken. It's a 50s style diner with amazing breakfast food. You usually have to wait for a table but it's worth it, and the [cute] servers bring you Dubble Bubble chewing gum with the bill...

As far as puzzles go I'd visit Kitsilano. There's lots of kitschy stores along West 4th that have that sort of thing.

My FAVOURITE used book store is Pulp Fiction which is at Main and 8th (just north of Broadway) - great selection of amazing books. I can almost always find what I'm looking for, including obscure authors, sci-fi, and art books, USED! It's really fantastic. Also it's a block from The Foundation, which is one of Vancouver's best vegetarian restaurants.

Excellent. Thanks for those. We're arriving at 7:30 am so breakfast will be an important meal.

When I originally booked this trip it was just supposed to be a quick weekend break for us, but now that I've applied to UBC I'll also be trying to decide if I can really live there for 2 years.

If you want a guide around UBC just PM me, I'll be happy to take you, and I can show you Green College, too!

Oh dear - I just checked your dates and that's just when I'll be away! Sorry! Anyway make sure you PM me if you have questions!

Thanks for the offer. If I get in I'll be starting in January. By September or so I'll be looking for advice. I'll definitely post and PM.
