Literally counting the days until my return. 58 to go.....
Vancouver is a weird one for me. I just don't get it. It's scenic and the weather is pleasant. It's probably also the only city in Canada where Starbucks outnumber Tim Hortons which could be a pro or con depending on your coffee tastes. There's just something about it though that leaves me cold and while sheer amount of hiptsters and pretentious people are a turnoff it's not that as there's just something about it. I've been to a lot of places where I think to myself "I could live here" but Vancouver simply isn't one of those places. I was there again for some holidays this summer and it doesn't seem to matter how many times I visit I just can't warm up to the place. As weird as it sounds I think I would rather live in Edmonton.
