    Not going there

    Posted by dontgothere 29 April 2006

    Had the misfortune to book a 10 day break in downtown Vancouver. The place was depressing and full of tramps, beggars and vagrants. They would think nothing of following you up the road asking for money. One of the alleged tourist attractions is the Gastown Steam Clock - don't even bother with making the journey. The place is dirty, rundown and full of drugged vagrants.

    Yes there are shopping centres galore but that is really the only good thing to say about downtown Vancouver. Don't let Canadians big it up - the news channels reveal a different picture and make London look like a fairytale palace.
