If you are from outside Canada and are keen on wildlife, a couple of points:

1. Don't point out the raccoons scuffling outside the restaurant window to your waitress and excitedly ask "have you seen the raccoons?!" She has, every evening since she started working there.

2. In Stanley Park, if you are confronted by black squirrels and think "aw, how cute" and aim your point and shoot camera at them from 30 feet hoping that a four-by-four pixel image of them will satisfy you later, desist. Instead, wait a while - they are so human-habituated they will come over to you and may even, as they did to me, climb up your leg - result: better pictures.

I wouldn't recommend this hostel, no matter how cheap and central it appears from the website. Unless you like the smell of boiling blood and junkies EVERYWHERE. Apart from that Vancouver's a decent place from which to get to other nice places.
