Miscellaneous observations in Vancouver

[deep_musings]

• Restrooms are called washrooms
• Restaurants are conservative in the paper napkins used and all napkins I saw were from recycled paper
• Pubs are often referred to as public houses
• Kept seeing Canuck in various contexts and discovered later that it is a word for Canadian.  The Canadian National Hockey team is also called Canadian Canucks.

No Wal-Mart in Vancouver. Bcus there is more Chinese stores already.
Entire downtown looks like china town.
Most of the white ppl you find there are visitors from Seattle.

>>Restrooms are called washrooms
Coming from Canada to USA, I was wondering if Americans really go there to take rest?
