Vancouver Downtown is located between two inlets; the north side is called Burrard Inlet and the south side is False Creek. I live on the south side and prefer this side because it is simply beautiful with English Bay. The north side has a large harbor called Coal Harbor or Vancouver Harbor. It is an industrial area which is rather dusty and rusty. The view of yellow sulfur mountain is almost ugly. However, when I visited Coal Harbor last night after a long break, I found it had been much renovated and become beautiful. It might be the effect of the coming Olympic Game in 2010. I would be happy if I could sail in this area, which is thought prohibited owing to the busy traffic of cargo ships and sea planes.
