36 hours in Vancouver

Bloedel flower conservatory - the highest point in Vancouver city, in the midst of a park, a geodesic dome filled with rare tropical plant and bird species. 
Vancouver police museum - a quirky assortment of confiscated weapons, newsworthy murder stories, an autopsy room (complete with a bullet hole in the window in a vain attempt to murder the pathologist to conceal evidence,) a computer screen to match police artist sketches, tactical gear, and memorabilia.
Raisu restaurant - an authentic Japanese dining experience with panko-crusted meats, daikon sauces,  delicious miso soup, and genmaicha (brown rice tea,) wait staff shouting orders in Japanese, and a rich wood interior. http://www.raisu.ca

Grounds for Coffee - best cinnamon buns anywhere. So fresh, chewy, and delicious. http://groundsforcoffee.ca

car2go for transportation - so simple to use, convenient, ubiquitous, and no need to pay for expensive parking. https://www.car2go.com/US/en/

Granville island - extensive Farmers' market, artisan craft market, busking area, marina, waterfront walkway, and, oddly, a concrete factory.
Dark Table - a fabulous dining experience in absolute pitch-black darkness, to heighten the senses, with visually impaired wait-staff. An unforgettable experience.  http://www.darktable.ca/about.html
