Really lovely park in Greenwich Village, with the uni nearby. Feels really culturaly diverse and it's a great spot for reading, picnicking or just some good ol' fashioned people watching.

This is one of the most popular attractions in Bangkok and is a really wonderful little museum to all things South East Asian. Jim Thomson was an American Silk merchant who had a passion for all aspects of the local culture and ever since his mysterious disappearance, his house has served as a gallery for his collections. Make sure you visit it.

A geat place to go with children, but not really young ones i'd say, as there;s lots of interesting science and the planetarium shows is one of the best i've seen. the rest of the centre has lots of cultural and artistic bits which were also quite good, although the planetarium was the best.

The best place to go for food in Vancouver, the market is packed full of everything you could want! In fact, I'm considering going self-catering next time I visit to take advntage of all the lovely produce. But if that seems like too much effort, grab food at one of the great cafes by the market and just enjoy the fun and culture of the island.
