Hey Bad, To be really honest, I don't (sshhhh!) really like Vancouver - as a place to live, that is. It's just too quiet, well-ordered and politically correct for me. And rainy. Very rainy. However. It is a stunningly beautiful place with a very high quality of life. It's green all year round (all that rain ;) ) and it's nestled between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. There are lots of beautiful parks, too. I'm just more into gritty urban chaos, I guess. It's me, not Vancouver. ;)
