</div>
<div>A couple of things:</div><div> </div><div>1 - The Vancouver family is supposed to have Dutch origins:<br>quote: There has been some debate about the origins of the Vancouver name. It is now commonly accepted that the name Vancouver derives from the expression van Coevorden, meaning "(originating) from Coevorden", a city in the northeast of the Netherlands. This city is apparently named after the "Coeverden" family of the 13 – 15th century. An alternative theory is that Vancouver is a misspelling or anglicized version of Van Couwen, a Dutch name.<br>
quoted from: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Vancouver" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/</font><font color="#0066cc">George_Vancouver</font></a></div><div> </div><div>2 - Vancouver gives me nightmares.<br>
I have been driving up to there for an exhibition a couple of years ago, while staying in Bellingham WA (after a visit to Boeing in Everett).<br>My Hertz "Never Lost" guided me to the middle of nowhere in a hilly suburb.<br>
I found a commercial street and I stopped for lunch at a Laotian restaurant.<br>The meat was served in a bowl of red soup. Some meat fell of the fork, splashing my shirt with the red fluid.<br>My spare clothes were left in the hotel in Bellingham, but fortunately I could buy a shirt in a Pakistanese shop in that street.<br>
Anyhow, in the afternoon I still came to make a tour of the exhibition in the expo centre, downtown at the harbour.</div><div> </div><div>3 - I got poutine coming out of my ears when being in Montreal for a week last year.<br>
I was staying in the Fairmont above the underground railway station, having a lot of eateries underground.<br>Actually I don't like the sweet ketchup tasting sauce, nor the cheese blocs on my fries.<br>And further I think it is a bomb of calories.</div>
<div> </div><div>4 - I made some jokes about poutine at the booth of Canada at the Innoprom exhibition in Ekaterinburg a couple of weeks ago.<br>The staffing actually was not Canadian (none of them understood French). They had contracted the thing to a Russian governmental service.<br>
And these guys had a different taste of humor.</div><div> </div><div>Regards,<br>Roger</div></span></font></span></div><div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></font></span> </div>
