Its by the university (UBC), if you go, take a guided or self-guided tour otherwise you're just looking a pretty wood carvings.

sorry I shoulda been more specific, I am English and have lived in Canada (Ont) for 12 years and missing a good ol'English Indian Curry, so the mushroom Pilau and Chicken Korma, Naaan Bread and Poppadoms and dips etc.....

Try Palki: http://www.palkirestaurant.com/

Of course, realize that English Indian curry only exists in England. But Palki will probably be tasty in its own way.

When I went nothing was locked so we just went through the rooms adjacent to the main gallery and started pulling drawers open in all those wood cabinets. Spectacles, Japanese, 1743. And so on, totally random. The Bill Reid stuff fills in a little time. In Vancouver Airport in the international lounge take a minute to look at the big wooden sculpture in the concourse. That's on our money and there more at the museum.The thing that I remember best is the bentwood boxes - they'd take a huge cedar shake and soak it until they could fold 5 sides then sew the edge with bark so they had these great boxes with no hardware at all.

Why not just go to Brampton?

because I will be in Vancouver.....and I'm not gonna drive all the way to Brampton for a curry!!

It's bronze.

I wonder how famous Bill Reid would be if he worked in a European art form.

Oops, so it is.. It's the Creation of the World one under the skylight at the museum that's wood. In that case he'd be famous indeed, bronze sculpture being a European art form. His paintings and jewellery aren't as well known as the carving, sculptures and prints. Some artists are Da Vinci and famous for all media but it's rare.

Korma?

Now go and sit in the corner and think about your behaviour young lady.


Vietnamese food up Little Saigon (Kingsway) is very good.

That's birds for you innit?

Actually Kormas can be bloody nice if they're done right, but they rarely are at English influenced Indian restaurants.

Check this Korma out.

I saw that on iplayer. I would drool the entire 60 mins.

Korma is for pussies who cant handle a vindaloo style curry

thank u all for your info.....one last question then, we are staying at the Coast Vancouver airport hotel.....whats the easiest way to get to Stanley Park?? and/or getting around, I was gonna hire a car...but is the transportation good??

Coast Hotels are generally OK but, unless you are a plane spotter, it is not in the prettiest part of town. However, you are right beside the bus exchange so it is convenient of transit. No. 10 will take you downtown, then No. 19 along West Pender will take you to the park.

As well as buses, a short walk east along Marine Drive will take you to the Sky Train station at Marine and Cambie. This will take you downtown. From downtown the park is 10/15 minutes walk (Burrard is the nearest station), or you can get the No. 19 bus down West Pender to the Park bus loop.

If you want to rent some bikes there are a couple of bike rental places at the north end of Denman.
