One of the many totem poles atop Burnaby Mountain in the Vancouver, BC metro area. There were a few things about Vancouver that hadn't occurred to me prior to visiting.

One was the enormous Asian population in that city; the friend of a friend that we stayed with one night is Taiwanese and took us to Chinatown and to a great authentic Chinese restaurant. Immigration had never occurred to me, but the Asian population in Vancouver is obviously large and thriving. I suppose it's the same way here in Houston with the large Hispanic population. I just hadn't thought about it, and it was cool to see. Diversity is good!

The second was the area's history; there were totem poles everywhere it seemed, reminding visitors of the area's indigenous population.
