Flags don’t kill people
Unless you tie a flag around someone’s throat and choke the person out, flags are simply a symbol—harmless. Alter a swastika slightly and you’ll have the symbol for Buddhism.
Pack an extra change
Travelling is all about taking risk. The whole idea of travelling is built upon adventure. What travellers forget—especially Western travellers—is that our vacation grounds are other people’s homes.

We’re all familiar with open container laws regarding alcohol. Drinking an alcoholic beverage in public— outside of a designated drinking zone—is not only socially frowned upon, but illegal. Citizens can and do receive heavy fines for committing the crime.

Indoor and outdoor places to spend your summer
Vancouver is a beautiful city that we’re lucky to call home. Thousands of people visit our city every year to see the sights and enjoy its attractions, and there’s no better time to do it than the summer.
