Here is a city awash with shops, squares and streets featuring London, England and Royal in their name. Union Jacks are pretty prevalent too. Yet it's the capital of a state in Canada. Weird.With not a huge amount else to do, except the tourist heights of Miniature World, a trip the Royal (thanks maam) BC Museum is a must - especially when it's freezing. Here you can learn all about aboriginal abuse and raping resources from early settlers. Good to hear the Brits are nothing if not consistent. Whilst various athletes, politicians and business people are celebrated, they seem less keen on mentioning Pamela Andersen nor Michael J Fox.
The city's massive Chinese population (it was the first jumping off point for migrant, union breaking, miners) has created a cool little Chinatown. And it brought about the discovery of eggs, chips and soy sauce as a winning breakfast. Coupled with a tea, made from a Cuppa Joes big napkin teabag, it's a top start to the day.
