Vancouver is the nicest city in Canada. It's clean. It's beautiful. It's international. However it can get kind of boring after a while.

Protip: about 30% of the population is Asian
Spoiler: Canada counts Indians and some Middle Easterners as Asian.

Not in a good way. Way too many durka durkas, terrorists, hindus, and chinks. No spics or niggers though.

Well, um, last I checked, both the Middle East and India are in Asia.

Also, Vancouver is about 50/50 European/Asian. Not really any darkies.

The finale of William Gibson's latest book, Spook Country, takes place in Vancouver. I've always wondered if Gibson was inspired by this very picture to choose Vancouver as the setting, just because the city looks so futuristic, high-tech and exciting in this photo.

Though, if you compare the boats with the "skyscrapers", you'll realise that the buildings aren't exactly New York-tall...

Mum's bf's sister-in-law lives in Vancouver, and we've a standing invitation to come over for the 2010 olympics.

>>It's international.

What does this ever actually mean, though

Every city with an airport servicing international arrivals and departures is international? International companies have a HQ there?

I think he means "international" as in multicultural, with many peeps from around the world (about 45% of Vancouverites are immigrants).

i lived there for a year while i was going to school. the city is nice, weed's easy to get and the weather wasn't too cold, I think new york's far worse. also the city is not futuristic at all unless you count the monorail i guess

No. We're bogged down by bleeding-heart libtards who hate your freedom to spend your money (HAY GUYS LETS TAX THE SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE), hate your freedom to build on your real estate (YOU ARE VIOLATING A ZONING BYLAW), and want to give away tax dollars to lazy-ass hobos.

Other then that. it's a great place to visit if you're a tourist.

William gibson lives in Vancouver.
Also only the downtown core is the really cool part, the rest isn't as much.

Customs grilled me more in Vancouver than in any US city- and I'm an Ausfag!

Vancouver is a decently clean and doesn't have much crime. The city is bloody expensive, expect to pay an arm, leg, first born and a tank of gas just for rent. People tend to drive like crazy. But it's a good city, lots to see and do, you'll probaboly reconize a lot of locations from movies. It's where Juno, X-men 2+3, Famtastic 4- 2 were shot among tons more. Don't do drugs in the town, it's a leading city for AIDS, so if you catch it, enjoy it.

Oh, Davie street is the gay side of town.

Vancouver has one of the highest crime rates of any Canadian city, and aside from homicide, is comparable to many US cities.

Also, the rental market isn't so bad, plenty of apartments to be had for <$1000/month, even downtown. The real estate is whats ridiculous.

There was a e-waste levy last year and now there's some carbon tax. Once you start working, you realize how annoying The Georgia Straight and the liberal schoolteachers are. jobs are all entry level shit, so be prepared to supplement your money with whoring, selling drugs or day trading.

traffic's really bad because there's no freeway into the downtown core.

Positives: skiing/snowboarding mecca. Only fault is the snow is too wet (rarely powder conditions). Hiking, windsurfing, camping are only a few hours away. So if you're the outdoorsy type, you'll love it here.
