Can anyone give me useful travel tips?

Question

I am going to Vancouver in a couple of weeks, for a few days. Having never traveling outside the US as a civilian, are there any travel tips that will make my trip smoother? Like things to bring, or keep in mind about the culture? Any useful info would be appreciated!

Answer 1

The public transportation is fantastic in Vancouver, so look into taking the bus to get around.

Bring a map or postcard of where you're from to show people you meet and talk with.

The anthropology museum at the University of British Columbia is not to be missed.
