Vancouver is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Seriously. It's insanely big.
I mean, I always considered Dublin to be a moderate to large town after visiting Prague, but OMG it's fucking TINY.
To compare.
This is a map of Dublin (city centre, ish): http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=dublin&ll=53.343199,-6.263666&spn=0.022239,0.086517&om=1
You can make out O'Connell st, and Dame St. on that map, and the big grey block that is Trinity College, right?
This is a map of the University of British Columbia: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1874%20EAST%20MALL+UBC+BC&spn=0.010921,0.019741&hl=en
This is a College within Vancouver city. It apparently has 50,000 students.
I won't be there Fall 2006. Unless things go horrifically wrong, I will be there Fall 2007.
