Why I want to go to this place

It would be amazing someday to go to Vancouver city, in Canada. I mean, it is the second top city in the world.
It deserves to have a presentation of mine, no?
The climate of Vancouver is a moderate oceanic climate tempered by the warm Japan Current. The city is also sheltered by the mountains of Vancouver Island, to the west. These influences contribute to making Vancouver the warmest of Canada’s major cities.
The crime rate is just as low as Melbourne’s, which is THE top city.
On what concerns transports, it offers bus service, sky train, west coast express, seabus, cycling, airports, rails, ferries, taxicabs…
It has an exemplar education, with Elementary schools, High schools, “stubs”, universities(for an example, Vancouver University Worldwide).
It also focuses on the environment with forests care, raincoast conservation, fondations like GreenPeace, EcoForestry Institute, and lots of environmental issues that the government takes care of.
The city is the second largest in Canada with a high percentage of visible minority and immigrant populations. In 2001, 49% of the city’s total population was of visible minority background, compared to 44.8% in 1996. The three most numerous groups of recent immigrants are of Chinese, Filipino and Indian origin. The classification of “recent immigrants” refers to those who immigrated in the last five years. The people of Vancouver also speak a multitude of languages. Based on the 2001 Census figures, 49.4% (261,365) of the city’s population identified English as their mother tongue, while 50.6% (267,545) identified a language other than English as their mother tongue. Other than English, other languages spoken at home include: Chinese (26.6 % of total), Punjabi (2.7%), Tagalog (Filipino, 2.4%), Vietnamese (2.2%), French (1.7%), and Spanish (1.5%).
Top city, right?
