I have been struggling through the last few days, must be a time of retrograde. So I haven’t posted anything decent. I received this email, with a few realities of living in Vancouver. It certainly made me chuckle. Of course there are other more positive aspects, but again this just is what it is, and we all except it. I might add I live thirty minutes from the city! These are a few pictures I took off the net, of my favorite Vancouver spots. Kitsilano, Robson street, and gas town.Not posted are granville island and I haven't been to Stanley Park in years but it used to be a favorite place too!
You know you are in Vancouver when...
1. Your co-worker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.
2. You make over $250,000.00 a year and still can’t afford a house.
3. You take the bus, and are shocked to hear two people carrying on a conversation in English.
4. You know what these abbreviations mean: PNE, GVRD,
VPD, RAV, YVR.
5. You're shocked when it snows in the winter.
6. You've just had California rolls for lunch.
7. You know more than 10 ways to order coffee.
8. You know how to pronounce 'Coquihalla'.
9. A really great parking space can move you to tears.
10. Your hairdresser is straight; your plumber is gay and your next door neighbour grows weed.
11. At 8:30 AM, the guy at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and glasses who looks like George Clooney, IS George Clooney.
12. You car insurance costs as much as your house payment.
13. The gym is packed at 3 PM -- on a work day.
14. You can tell the difference between Japanese, Thai, and Chinese food.
15. You watch the weather from a Seattle TV station because it's more accurate.
16. You pass an elementary school and the children are all busy with their mobile phones while waiting for their personal rides home.
17. You're sure that you're the only one on the road with a REAL driver's license.
18. You don't even listen when the forecast announces chances of "showers."
19. The more expensive the car, the worse the driver.
20. You can tell the difference between Starbucks, Second Cup and Tim Horton's coffees.
21. You feel guilty when you throw paper, or aluminum cans, in the garbage.
22. You're not surprised to see geese throughout the whole year.
23. You can't remember: is pot still illegal or not?
24. If there's a day of snowfall, you consider not going to school or work.
25. You realize there are far more Rainbow flags in the city than Canadian flags.
26. You can name 10 Starbucks locations in less than a minute.
27. You don't blink at a same sex couple holding hands on the street, but it shocks you to meet a couple married for 40 years.

Haha - a lot of these apply to living in Houston, too!
Those are too cute!! My favorite thing to do in Vancouver is catch a little water taxi to Granville Island and then theres a Witches/magic shop behind the market place there.
Last time I was in Vancouver was is 1999, I stayed in Richmond for 2weeks and went hiking up in the mountains at Whistler by myself. :) I adopted Blue there.
Guess we are kindred spirits :)
Peace, Kai.
