1) Well, it's Canada. Might want to look at real estate and consider a move

2) mountain biking. One of the best places in the world to go.

 

Hmm, we are just driving around site seeing for a couple of days, any special interest places?

I've heard from some firsthand accounts that its better than Hong Kong.

This is assuming you like the authentic stuff.

ditto on the Chinese food; especially the seafood. If you have time for the two hour drive, you might want to check out Whistler/Blackcomb-- it's a fantastic ski resort with year-round activities.

Two days. That's tough. If you have more time, I recommend taking the ferry across they bay to Victoria. It's so much different than Vancouver. Try those "pontoon" planes tour. It is so worth it. It's about $1200 for the tour, but the plane can take up to 4 or more. Split that 4 ways and it's very reasonable.

Bring an umbrella, warm clothing, and rain coat for this time of the year.

Outdoor things are out of the question because it is wet, cold, and rainy.

There are many theaters & bars, Grandville Island is a nice place to spend sometime at, Yuk Yuk?s is also pretty good.

It can be a lot less than that. City air tour can be as little as $150-$175 CAD per person. Flight from Vancouver to/from Victoria from $75-$100 each way.

Tour Vancouver by air and get a whole new perspective. Air tours allow visitors to see so much more, from endless stretches of untamed wilderness to dramatic mountain vistas. See Vancouver the way so few have seen it before.

It's actually nice and sunny here today. Not all that warm though. (46F/8C)

If you have a car

The drive along Marine Drive in West Van is nice

Check out the look outs on Cypress or Seymour mountains.

From the son of a real-estate mogul in Vancouver. You REALLY don't wanna touch vancouver real estate, the prices are extremely inflated right now.
