sugar and spice, that's what vancouver's made of

Vancouver is turning into quite the gingerbread town. After seeing that little gingerbread street, I've discovered that Vancouver is actually the home of The World's Largest Gingerbread Man!

The Guinness Book of Records verified Big Ginger back in November 2003. Made by the chefs at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Burrard Street Vancouver, he's 13' 11" tall, 5' 8" wide and 2" deep. He's on display for the rest of the holidays if you want to visit him.



The huge gingerbread was surrounded by tiny houses, from bungalos to palaces to the city of Vancouver itself. Here are some pics...
