Thanks, LS.
I think it's safe to say that digicams have made everyone a
"professional" photographer, since one is able to retake a shot as
many times as is necessary to capture a scene well. Besides,
comparing my shots to kopiosatu's, I still have a ways to
go...
Vancouver was alright, but its layout was rather confusing, We
spent too much time finding our way around and getting lost, and
could only only hit a few areas of interest (e.g., Stanley Park,
the marina); in my opinion, we spent too much time in Richmond
hanging out along No. 3 Street (the main drag where most of the
Asian businesses were located). But at least we ate well! 
Do you still visit Vancouver often?
As for Seattle, you can bet I'll be back there again before the end
of the year.
