Honestly I'd say that much of Europe it pretty darned different from Vancouver... especially, say, Rome. All those small, cobbled streets and stone and ruins and stuff... and of course the cathedrals. London... well, it's got similarities to here (coughtheweathercough), but it's still different and uniqely "British". Besides, really any big city looks the same. Tokyo I hear looks just like any other megalopolis in the world, it's just that everything's in Japanese. ^^ Even Kyoto is in parts just a typical city. Once you get out into the country, though, it gets more 'traditionally Japanese'.
And heh, Egypt would certainly be... different. Not exactly a place I'd like to go these days. Steering clear of that entire vicinity of the world. :P Although I think I've heard that even Cairo is pretty much just a typical city... I tell ya, urbanization is taking control of the world. -_-
Still, granted Japan is, in many places, certainly _very_ different from her. *g* Regardless, I wouldn't say that Vancouver is anything like most European cities... back East, namely Montreal, they'rea bit more European, but Vancouver's just... typical North American city. ^^ And it's of course _far_ newer than most European cities - which is really one of the main differences...
