To kick off 2009, one of my buddies and I decided that it would be a lot of fun to go to Vancouver for a week. We both had some vacation time at work that we needed to use, and we thought that instead of sitting at home on the couch and watching television for the entire duration of our time off, it would be a whole lot more fun to go take a really cool trip together. Neither of us had ever been to Vancouver before, so it seemed like the perfect place for us to visit.
The thing that impressed me the most about Vancouver is how laid back and friendly everyone was. Even though we had a rental car in Vancouver, we didn’t get a GPS unit with it, so we were stuck using a map for directions. This caused us to get lost on several occasions, and each time that we stopped somewhere for help, the person we talked to would go out of their way to ensure that we got back on the right track. It’s nice to go to other places and see that people can still treat each other well.
