1. Vancouver,BC,Canada<br />Do we go somewhere we've been before--someplace we're familiar with that we want to see more of? It's always fun to return to a vacation destination you love, to remember the good times you've had there and create new memories at the same time.Or do we travel to someplace new to us?<br />It is actually not necessary to go abroad just to rejuvenate and relax, you can pick one beauty spot in your area and spend your vacation there with your family, but if you want to experience a new ways of life, culture, weather temperature and of course you wanted to see new sceneries the city of Vancouver is the place to be.<br />Describing Vancouver is no easy feat for a writer, least of all for someone who loves West Coast diversity and considers a trip to the city to be nothing short of exotic.
