I'm looking for suggestions

I'm participating at a conference of the IEEE in Vancouver on Sept.
11-13.....



Hi Roger,



It is a long time since I was in Vancouver (over 20 years), and then
Stanley Park and the Anthropological Museum were the things I’d return to.
It was also a nice city to wander in.  The only downside for me was that
the plane descended very rapidly, which upset my hearing/balance for the
first couple of days.



Cheers,



Pat

To Roger, in reply to your going to Vancouver.****

It is a wonderfully civilized city. Of all the things to do in Vancouver,
three stand out:****

1.The Anthropological Museum at UBC. A most interesting collection of
artifacts and works of art of the local tribes before the white man took
their indigenous life away. Their collection of totempoles is fantastic.
But they also have art by modern Indian artists that makes your jaw drop.***
*

2. The authentic Chinese garden of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. It transports you in
the dream world of a Chinese scholar from the end of the end of the
19thcentury. Make sure that you buy tea at their tea shop!  It is
unfortunate
that the neighborhood is a little bit unkemped, but the gardens and the
study are absolutely worth it.****

3. For just mindless enjoyment ( yes, I know about those meetings ) I would
suggest you amble over to the Aquarium and spend time with the fishes, and
the aquatic mammals and do not forget to go visit the rainforest in the
belly of the aquarium. You’ll come out a better person; guaranteed.****

For poutine, I recommend Frenchies Diner on Dunsmuir (speaking as a former
resident of Vancouver and a current resident of Montréal). Bon appétit!
