Dear Sara I hope
this
letter finds you healthy and wealthy. I am writing to draw your attention to
Vancouver
as the most interesting holiday destination from my standpoint. Let me explain in more detail. I have been to
Vancouver
twice, it is not only surrounded by beautiful landscapes but
also
provides you with good opportunities for shopping. There are several harbours, forests, and outlets which I described for you in the attached file. The
last
time I was there was
last
September. I was accommodated at the ABC hostel which is located downtown just near Gastown. There are plenty of activities to do depending on your budget, but I firmly recommend to try fly over
Vancouver
which is located beside
Vancouver
Central Hall. The most important part of
Vancouver
is the numerous options to eat. I highly recommend Akbarjoje restaurant. It was outstanding! I hope you will enjoy
Vancouver
and I'm waiting to see your photos from there. With love Ali
