Do You know The Way to Go?

If you use Vancouver Airport then it is now cheaper to use the CANADA LINE to YVR.

At Waterfront Station the Canada Line station entrance is to the left once you're inside Waterfront entrance.

From Skytrain level you walk same direction train is going to Westcoast Express/TransLink Ferry up escalator and turn right to main lobby and to right at convenience kiosk.

I pity older foreign travelers who don't use maps or even know their way around the city to find the library to plan their way back to the airport by transit using free computer access.

Nowadays a smart traveler has a smartphone and goes to internet cafes in Vancouver to plan their travel.

Training a new visitor to use a map and cardinal directions ought to be the Tourism Bureau's responsibility, not a random person at the Skytrain station.

Palestinian teens attack Canadian tour bus : Top Stories : News : Sympatico / MSN

Palestinian teenagers attacked a bus carrying a small group of Canadians and threw rocks at police.

The bus was carrying vacationing Canadians on a tour of the Mount of Olives holy site in east Jerusalem.

"We were just driving and all of a sudden a bunch of kids started picking up rocks and whatever they could get their hands on and started throwing it at the bus,'' said tourist Dave Wood.

"This is our first day in the Holy City and it was quite disturbing to say the least.''


Well then, Mr. Wood, did you apply Canadian diplomacy to the situation and offer peace to those kids in Arabic.

Obviously not, because you are a tourist who can't afford Hebrew and Arabic lessons, but can afford to invade Palestinian territory on your "Tour the Holy Land" trip c/o of your church.

I expect better of you, Mr. Wood.

Your comments in this newsbite makes me ashamed to be Canadian!
