I lived there for 3 1/2 years before bailing out and heading back to Winnipeg, in the heart of the continent. Really. We are the geographical centre of Canada from east to west. Also colder than a witch's tit in winter and hotter than Hades in summer, with humidity to boot and mosquitoes big enough to snatch toddlers out of your arms.<br /><br />The traffic in Vancouver is hell. The traffic in Winnipeg is a breeze, considering there are 3 million in the GVRD (Greater Vancouver Regional District) and only 700K in Windypeg (it's summer so we're not known as Winterpeg during this short season).<br /><br />But welcome to Canada and I hope you have a grand time there. I would imagine the rain may not bother you the way it did me.<br /><br />Not trying to discourage your move or anything. I know plenty of people who absolutely love it there. I'm just not one of them. :-)Ponita in Real Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886875733169389887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159157611254195408.post-8730443370291788422009-05-26T14:33:21.978-07:002009-05-26T14:33:21.978-07:00If only you knew how much the Leader pay to keep t...If only you knew how much the Leader pay to keep that banner up theredashogehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403546801588152490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159157611254195408.post-19701313661791423262009-05-26T02:26:43.069-07:002009-05-26T02:26:43.069-07:00P.S. take down that Limerick Leader logo, dammit. ...P.S. take down that Limerick Leader logo, dammit.
