Vancouver is Wet, And Our Buildings are Similar

As the Olympics approach it's funny to read stories from around the world on our little city in need a Noah's Ark (somebody save us). Take for instance the SF Chronicle's Bad Lattitude Blog which has some helpful Vancouver tips:

Spend enough time walking around Vancouver's fascinating and diverse neighborhoods in winter and you'll discover two things: 1) There are a whole lotta warm and welcoming restaurants in this town; 2) Your jacket might be waterproof, but your shoes are not.

Yeah, it rains. Deal with it. Here's a few tips (other than to invest in rubber socks) for anyone visiting the Winter Olympics 2010 city:

1. Do not, under any circumstances, base your bearings on "That tall, skinny apartment building" when exploring Vancouver. The structures are so ubiquitous you'd have a better chance of getting your bearings in New York City based on "That sickly looking pigeon."

It's wet here. We have many buildings that all look alike. How fun.
