Not that kind of border.
This border has guns, cameras, radiation detectors, documents and questions.
It is really two borders, two different experiences.
Going north - cool architecture, check passport, Have a nice day, eh.
Going south - ugly military fortress, check passport, stony glare, odd questions.
Still worth it. The border wait is usually not too long.
Canada's immigration policies have brought amazing ethnic foods to lower B.C. Between Vancouver and the border are endless delicious choices. Plus Canada is kind enough to give us a 20% discount. :-)
Worth it for Canadians too. They pay high prices at home for gas, groceries, etc..
Even with the poor exchange rate, it is still cheaper to buy some things down in the U.S..
