Things I’ve learned living in the city for a weeks

I can’t believe that I’ve been living here in Vancouver for about a week now. Amazing. Since this is not only the first time I’ve really lived in a large city (I lived in North York for a bit, but that wasn’t really “city” to me) but also living in the downtown core of a city, there is a lot of new stuff that I’ve been experiencing.

Here is a list of a few of the things I’ve learned:

• Walking around isn’t bad at all, in fact I rather enjoy it.
• I can walk farther and faster than I imagined
• Wow people stay up late
• I can get coffee and/or food pretty much anytime I wish
• Driving in the city isn’t too bad, it’s parking that sucks
• There are some really interesting characters around here
• I really love living here so far, and I think it’s only going to get better.

I want to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome in my new home, and for not telling me “I told you so” too often that I should have moved here sooner.
