What surprised me the most is the general condition of homeless in Vanc. Unlike polish smelly, dissolved in alcohol men or New York’s half-zombified heroinists, folks in Vanc supprise you with how tidy and clean they keep themselves. (Usually inhabiting tents in less popular parks.) Or their manners - trying to earn a honest loonie by holding the door for you when you go to Horton’s for a cup of coffee.
