Reviews

[Mind the Book · Rating 4 out of 5]

Girlfriend in a läskoma. Viker alltid oktober månad åt att läsa en stad. I år var det Vancouver. Enligt ett invant mönster börjar jag med Lonely Planet, därefter fiktion eller annan sakprosa.

Fick idéer här om att välja boende på det lite mer alternativa North Shore och åka Seabus över till city, att flanera i Gastown, på Granville Island och i Stanley Park. Fick det fantastiska lästipset City of Glass av Coupland. Uppskattade särskilt sidorna om 'Vancouver Today' om gentrifiering m.m. även om författaren kunde varit lite mer ärlig ang. stadens mörkare sidor.

I didn't get to see anything from this book on my trip to Vancouver, but I did write and send 50 postcards that never arrived, and drank doogh, a fizzy Iranian buttermilk, even though I am lactose intolerant.
