I’ve been hearing that with the World Cup, casual (ie unplanned, spontaneous) hangouts are becoming normal again in the host cities particularly with people you’ve only recently met. (presumably at a bar watching the game)
Have any of you found that this is the case in Vancouver? Are people more open and socia?
I went to wreck beach wearing lose tshirt and legging. and was sitting on the rock right by the ocean. I then have this naked man touch my shoulder and his thing in my face as I sit so I yelled disgusting and showed him the middle finger and he left. wtffff who does that. I was also sitting in the area where no people like I passed a few of those rocks things, I just brought fruit to enjoy by myself and listen to music.
I haven't tried many but I like Chipotle (good quality meat) and Mucho Burrito (nice options for topping). Bar burrito and Quesada are kinda mid. Don't like Taco time, Taco factory.
I recently tried Tacofino which is considered overhyped but I actually liked it. It is overpriced tho. I really liked the flavours and especially their soft tortilla.
Any other places which have the same taste but not as expensive?
Any hidden gems anywhere in Metro Vancouver?
I've never never seen an IMAX film in Vancouver. Some have said the city doesn't have a true IMAX worth viewing and the best I can get is 70mm.
What say you, nerds?
I’d really like to get one before the game on Saturday but everywhere seems to be sold out.
Hello everyone!
I’ve been living in Vancouver for less than 6 months now but as someone who’s lived in Europe almost all my life, I was wondering where people are going on vacations?
I’m wondering where you guys tend to go on weekend trips, week long trips, trips by train, trips by bus and anything else that might be good to share! I don’t drive so I’m limited in that sense but I’m happy to hear literally anything else
I can always get them printed out and paste them on my wall but still, if there is a specific store for it, I would love to browse through it. Thanks in advance 😊
Hey I’ve seen this question asked on here before but I can’t find the post. I recently got out of a 6 year relationship and am struggling really badly and need a therapists who can help. Thanks alot, appreciate it
I'm not associated in any way with the Alibi Room.
They have a big screen with games on, open windows with cool breezes, and were basically empty for Brasil/Norway. Consider it if you're looking for a place to watch Mexico/England!
I didn't see on the fire map but feeling its a bit hazy?
My first time to Canada. Was thinking of going to Granville street, but I read there are some fifa watch parties. They are a little far from the hotel I am staying at so I am open to suggestions where there will be a lot of supporters of Mexico. Thanks
Hi all! Wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find somewhere that sells matching swimwear for men and women? My boyfriend and I are going on a lake camping trip in a couple weeks for his birthday and I was hoping to surprise him with cheesy matching swimsuits for the two of us. Doesn't have to be anything crazy, like just basic swim trunks and a bikini in the same colour or print would be perfect.
My first thought was lululemon, but they only sell mens swim trunks and now I'm stuck and can't think of any other places LOL. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated, thank you in advance!
I’ve recently tried it and I’d say it’s alright for when I’m out and just want something simple but does anybody have any tips or just what you usually get in their bowls? Just wanting to try new things
nowadays almost every realtor claims to be top 1% or top 10% realtor in their region, yet there is no way (it seems) for buyers/sellers to verify these claims. does anyone know a way to see a realtor's listing history? alot of realtors advertise or market listings and you dont even know if they are representing those sellers. it could be a different realtor entirely from the same brokerage who is responsible and leading those listings. so, im simply asking, is there a way for a seller to verify/confirm a listing agent's recent completed transactions?
Anyone in GVRD had their popcorn ceiling removed and painted, looking for whole 900’ condo, or 1 room at a time if too pricey. Companies or handyman you have used. Have heard that there is some kind of wet sanding / vacuum that makes less mess. No asbestos, more a texture than popcorn. Thanks for your suggestions.
Being an elder millennial myself (41), visiting from the US, one of the things that surprised me about your beautiful city was just how expensive cost of living is in comparison to the salaries. For example, I live in Houston, TX where corporate white collar salaries seem to be significantly higher than Vancouver and even more so when you account for the exchange rate. And our cost of living is significantly less.
I know many of you will think “yeah but you have to live in Houston/Texas”, which is a fair point, but it really is surprising how different cost of living vs salaries are.
This is a niche question, but are there any groups that get together to play cribbage in Vancouver? I searched the sub and couldn’t see anything relevant, but it would be great to grab a pint and play some cribbage.
Would this interest anyone?
My bf likes taking pictures of owls and ospreys, and we are visiting vancouver. Any recommendations on where to go to find them?
Hi everyone!
I'm currently looking for a room to rent and recently viewed a room in a laneway house in Renfrew Heights.
I've been living in apartments so far and was hoping to move into another apartment, but rent is way over my budget.
The room itself seems great—it's quite spacious and there are two other girls living in the other rooms.
My main concern is the neighbourhood. I don't have a car, so I'll mostly be walking and taking the bus.
Would you consider Renfrew Heights to be a safe neighbourhood, especially for a woman in her 20s who would be walking in the back alley alone during the day or in the evening? I usually don't go out after 10 PM, but for just in case.
Also, I'm curious about laneway houses in general. Those who've lived in a laneway house, did you ever feel less safe than living in an apartment?
I'd really appreciate hearing from people who know the area.
Thanks in advance!
As an American who frequents BC 5ish times a year I am curious how you afford it. How many of you are in debt and still manage to eat out at Earls?
If I were to move to BC with my current job I would take a 50k USD/year cut to my pay. While I live in a HCOL city, I live fairly frugally outside of my fully paid off car. I feel like I am unable to afford a “thriving” lifestyle and am more like settling for it. I see people in downtown Van walking home from work during the week looking like zombies. It’s certainly changed over the past 4-8 years. I am not 100% sure if it’s optics or not but I can’t put my finger on it.
How are you affording to live?
