Vancouver is like being with a new g/f. It gets exciting in the beginning, but after a while, you get used to it.
bwhahahaha
vancover for me is self medication. i just like going to english bay, sitting on the beach closing my eyes and listening to the water, which calms me. I equate it to going to the farm, walking out into the fields of wheat in the winter and just listening, looking around you, seeing nothing but wheat, and hearing nothing but wind. The wind speaks to you and you listen at peace.
Been gone for a month from Vancouver and the Shangri-La is coming along nicely. Shouldn't be too long. My favourite neighbourhood is West End, it feels like home and cozy, while yaletown or false creek feels distant and miminalist. Granville could be awesome, if planners and city officials new what they wanted to do with it. To me Granville should just be pubs, live music venues (from small clubs to the orphiem) and independent movie theatres (artisty movies no blockbusters). Granville was never meant to gentrified which what apparently the planners and city politicians are trying to do.
My roommate thinks I'm nuts but i love east van. reminds me of where i grew up.
