Sean and I played tourist in our town last weekend and checked out the Nitobe Memorial Garden at UBC. I felt immediately at peace when I walked through the main doors of this traditional Japanese tea garden. It was so tranquil and a most needed respite from the hustle and bustle of job and city life.
I spotted one person laying on their back reading and thought to myself, I would certainly pay the admission price of $6 to come and read here undistracted. Now that I know about the Nitobe Memorial Garden, I shall come here to see the next cherry blossoms bloom.
Here are some pics:

Koi pond
Reflecting pool
And at the risk of sounding morbid, if one can choose where they would like to spend their final hour before transitioning into the next world, this could be a top choice on the list.
