Vancouver is amazing! You'll love it. Make sure to enjoy downtown.
We've had a weird set of rainy days lately though, so I dunno bout outdoor stuff as much.
Also I'm in the Pros list for Vancouver
You cynical sports fans are in the Cons list as long as you're telling me it's not for a girl we're cool

I've heard bad things with regards to the city's density and public transportation.
Shush you, you're heard great things and you're about to experience how amazing a dense city is.
Unless you've been to New York, Tokyo, Singapore, London, or Hong Kong before.
I'm looking to visit some friends, so it's actually gonna be a multi-city flight.
I haven't looked into accommodations yet. I might actually speak with a travel agent about this.
density? Vancouver is a lot of things, but "dense" is not one of them. Unless that's one of your new fancy words for "stoned", then yeah.
also in the grand scheme of things, our transit system isn't so bad. It might be untimely, but it can ultimately get you anywhere! Also it's miles better than whatever Toronto calls public transit.

If you can stand hipster douchebags, you'll be fine.
And there's lots to do in Vancouver. My week in Calgary reaffirmed this to me.
Soc pls. I'm born and raised.
But yeah, I just thought about it an hour ago and I want to do it. Just worried about expenses after paying for the flights.
I'm looking at the October/November possibly.
I'd probably only stay in Vancouver for a few days. Can't afford to lose too much time off work. But I don't doubt the activities in the city.
Bring an umbrella.
It's like snow only more like your mom
You probably haven't traveled much around North America. Because most American and Canadian cities have only Financial downtowns and sub-urban districts or low rise housing in their downtowns. Most don't build up but build out housing. Think of famous cities like San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, etc. They all follow the model of sub-urban districts and/or low rise housing.
Our downtown is built more like Hong Kong then North American city and our downtown is one of the densest in North America for housing.
Our public train system is some of the most timely networks in the world. Only truly world class cities have it better. Of all the cities I've been to, the only one I preferred more then Vancouver for public transit was Tokyo. New York's subway was really gross.
That's why I always think it's funny how much Vancouverites complain due to some break downs once every couple of months. Grass is greener on the other side.
Dude I'm from Europe and you're trying to teach me about low-rise housing? Jokester.
Again, don't presume I don't know what I'm talking about, but sure.

I can't imagine it holding a candle to LA's public transportation system of "get mugged twice on your 50 minute, 6 mile bus trip."
Its those little things that you get in some cocktails. They dont have those in vancouver.
Yeah but Europe has low-rise housing everywhere in their downtowns. They don't follow the North American model I'm talking about where it's a financial centre then sub-urban districts or districts of low-rise housing.
Europe is full of dense cities, but North America isn't. Thus my point. Jokester.
EDIT - And Europe's density is different then Vancouvers. Vancouver follows the asian city urban planning model then North American or European.
You just said it's untimely but it's one of the more punctual transit subway/train systems in the world.
Here's a great read on urban planning sustainable cities via looking at asian urbanization (what Vancouver and Toronto are trying to push towards, and Vancouver is a bit closer to due to not being locked to 1950's car culture as much):

I also follow this guy who used to be the chief city planner for Vancouver, would definitely recommend reading some of his stuff:

Kreider jerseys are a thing in K-Pop.
It's that thing that protects your drink from getting drugged, then.

I'm so confused

this doesnt make any sense
I just beat it.I just realized the image I shared didn't have the ID code -_-
Well, here it is.
Nobody has been able to beat it yet
Awesome level though!
Boom. I lawyered Smiley into submission. Game over.
WHY SMILEY CRYING? CAUSE HE JUST GOT DUNKED ON (and lawyered)

When you compare them to North American cities, the downtown cores of Europe cities have a much higher densification of housing to them due to the North American model of Financial downtown cores and sub-urban "white flight" and "car culture". Of course they don't compare to Asian cities, which was part of my point again.
You dont even.....know why youre bothering to taklk to him? I dont either.
Noooo, you are not the one who's supposed to leave!
Gif material, you say?
Just amazing. Gif material indeed. I love how it's 6 Kreiders and 1 Nash. Maybe it's the math. 181? I just can't comprehend how this glorious thing came to be.
I really need to know more about this. Like, why did they choose the Rangers and those numbers. Are they actually all nuts about Kreider or just the colors and 20? :lol
edit: or because it's posted on the 20th? So many possibilities!
This is the best thing I have ever seen.
I guess because the concert was on the 20th, but that explains neither Nash nor why the Rangers in the first place, unless the concert was in New York? (which I don't think it was?)
Also
TOTALLY CALLED IT LOL
Seems like the Super Mario Maker thread in the Gaming sides move really darn fast. Often time, many courses just get overlooked because of how fast people are posting about their courses. Guess I'll let NHL-GAF know about my full stage called Flappy Mario. Obviously inspired by Flappy Bird, haha. The main stage isn't very hard to clear, however, I encourage you guys to try to find all the secrets in this stage. 100 total coins up to grab and 3 1Up mushrooms all up for grab !
Hint:
C6CA-0000-005A-B5AD
Please do give feedbacks if you have a chance to play the stage ! I spent quite a few hours working on it and I hope it satisfies all sorts of platforming itches Mario players have Once again, I know you guys are all Mario pros here, so try to look for the secret stuff. The main stage is easy by design because it's supposed to be referencing Flappy Bird. The secret stuff is as close to a typical Mario stage as it can be, so please give it a go !
Hint:
Check one of the pipes, something about it look odd, doesn't it ?

The secret stuff is as close to a typical Mario stage as it can be, so please give it a go !I've given it some thought. This is my conclusion.
"Girls, we're doing this concert on the 20th, so we need something with the number 20!"
"Let's use some sports team jerseys from the USA!"
*They Google, quickly realize that Rangers jerseys are fucking sexy, pick them/Kreider.*
"But wait, there are 7 of us. One needs to be special and front/center. We can't all be 20! Who's their best player?!"
*They Google, see that Nash led the team in points last year and as a bonus had exactly 69 of them*
"I'll be Nash. He had 69 points last year!"
"YAAAAAAAAY"
And then we got this video.
God bless their overcomplicated way of thinking
Maybe they just saw KreiKrei's pool jump video. That's the other possibility.
Didn't get Rielly, Lupul, Phaneuf, JVR or Bozak but getting Babcocks, Marner and Nylanders made up for that. Curtis Glencross was probably the nicest guy that was at the event. Signing autographs steady and actually having decent conversations with the fans. Hope he makes the team.

That K-Pop video is so bizarre. Here's some gifs for Rangers-GAF to use as they see fit:
niceeee
