Go
to Canada for many reasons, but especially two:
Vancouver and Montreal. Ski, golf and sail on the same spring day
in temperate Vancouver, British Columbia. Hong Kong-like in its
naturalistic urban motif of skyscrapers looming against sea and
mountains, Vancouver is one of the world’s most beautiful
cities. Friendlier, cheaper and more accessible than France, Montreal
still possess a rich francophone flavor, from its street life to
its food. Plus, the city holds premiere jazz and comedy festivals
every summer.
