Hastings is the most popular place but its changing due to permits so check it out soon.BCMP is next door to amsterdam cafe they have cool lounge upstairs to hang out at.Pot tv is done in back of shop. Bubble man use to have place called melting point on Industrial and I think Dana Larsen has place over that way.Some parts of hastings are alittle creepy but safe. Grandville st has alot of clubs and few smoke shops. It is easy to find all these places. Wreck beach is a blast, baked at UBC native museum very cool.Grouse mtn worthwile cool wood carvings excellent views.People watching at night on Robson is fun. Man I want to go. Have a great trip. Peace
