Street coined &#8220;the Amsterdam of North America&#8221; or the &#8220;San Francisco of Canada&#8221;, Vancouver has a myriad of interests for the tourist. A unique nightlife awaits the night owl. Tons of plays and theatrical performances, music fests, concerts, and other cultural festivities. Home to the World&#8217;s Fair in 1986, the city has landmarks celebrating that event. In what other city can you stroll in a rain forest, swim in the ocean\/lounging at the beach, roller blade the beach walks, and go skiing in one day? 10 minutes to Grouse Mountain ski resort, 20 minutes to Cypress Mountain, and 45 minutes to Whistler\/Blackcomb.
