lol thats fine. i didn't think you were too much of one to go to nightclubs anyways, but it never hurts to tell ya just in case you decide you do want somewhere to go!!
if you get a chance to go to the University of British Columbia, their museum of Anthropology is pretty cool. it's about an hour's drive out of the city (if i remember correctly), but worth it. also....The Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, [43]. The first full-sized classical Chinese garden outside China. It is located in China town on the edge of downtown Vancouver. sorry.. had to copy and paste. it's really quite beautiful and relaxing, though kinda small. if you go there, and you like Asian food, i would suggest checking out some of the restaurants and shops in Chinatown. they have quite a few good restaurants there.
Gastown is also very cool, they have some really nice old buildings and such. and i think it's called the Pacific Center (?) is like a big underground shopping mall type of thing. i won't lie... stuff is kinda expensive, but still not a horrible way to spend the day.
last thing... i would suggest walking everywhere. taxis aren't too expensive if you aren't going far, but the city is soo insanely beautiful and clean, it's worth it to walk (as long as it's not too cold!). when i was there, we had a hotel at one end of the downtown area and walked all the way to the ocean roads on the way to Chinatown. it was a long walk... but very enjoyable.
i can't remember if you said exactly why you were going there... but how long are you staying? i REALLY want to go back, it's been a few years since i've been.
btw... their airport is soo cool! lol, i'm a dork, i know. but it's really nice inside, and they have big sculptures and stuff, and it feels like you are in a museum in certain parts of it.
