If you were to create a Venn diagram where one circle was labeled "cheap" and the other labeled "awesome", the middle point where they cross over could be labeled "Vancouver on the Cheap". In other words, this is a weekly series on things to do and places to go in Vancouver that fall into that magical category of being both cheap and awesome.

Warning, this one's just for the grown ups. Did you know that The Art of Loving, an adult store located on 5th near Burrard, offers workshops and seminars? Before this starts to sound too sketchy, I should let you know that this shop has a different vibe than, say, the adult stores found along the Granville strip - it's a very friendly, open, helpful, and female-friendly (but not female only!) environment. These workshops and seminars won't lead you down an unsavoury path, but are all about education and empowerment. Plus, some of them are cheap, or even free!

A scan of the class list reveals some workshops that are definitely on the racier side (and, correspondingly, on the pricier side), but not all. They have a lot of seminars designed to teach you about sexual health and how some of the more titillating sides of scientific discovery can apply to you, and many of those are free or $10! Check them out, you may be surprised how much there is to learn.
