The largest visible minorities in Vancouver are Sikhs and Chinese.
This sign close to home shows a jewelery store with writing in Punjabi underneath.
The garbage bins have instructions in English, French, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Punjabi (I think that's all 
).
The much hyped Dubai Metro is apparently off to a good start.
In this part of the world however, we are not without our own new "metro". With the 2010 Winter Olympics coming very soon - in February 2010 to be exact - the Vancouver government is working hard to improve the infrastructure of the city.
Among other things was a $2 billion extension to the current SkyTrain (aka "metro") line, running from the airport to downtown Vancouver. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the new line, but here is a picture of an empty SkyTrain. This train runs on the older line, made in the 1980s. The new cars are more spacious and generally look better.
These are also driverless. We had in the 1980s what Dubai got in 2009!
As of now, Vancouver has the longest driverless metro system anywhere in the world 
P.S. Recently this website had been hacked by some Russian dudes who tried to link to some virus.
To protect you from this nastiness, I took out the backend to prevent the possibility of any updates (read: hacking) from occurring. So the downside was that even I couldn't update my own website! Now we're back in business, so all should be well Categories:
News Rants and Opinions Photography
Unfortunately with school starting, there isn't enough time to do much anymore. Interestingly, there is a photography club here at UBC, which should be interesting to join though. We'll see what happens there...
The picture above is from some beach at Lake Huron. The beaches in Vancouver are amazing; I just have to take my camera with me sometime around town!
Hey! That's me up there!
