Re: Tokyo or Seoul?

If you're "new" to Vancouver, watch your stuff. Lots of transients and property theft going on, at least compared to before. It's by no means worse than Cambodia, but it's nothing like it used to be and I've heard of a lot of people being surprised that their stuff gets stolen or broken in...
