    I'm curious based on what NBC is showing of Vancouver how many of you non-Canadian's would consider checking out Vancouver? I've encountered a lot of first time American's to leave there country and they seem to love Vancouver.

    Vancouver is totally known as a really livable city. Also, for what I want to do West Coast, DC, NY or overseas is where I could reasonably be.

    So if the option came I wouldn't say no.

    It's a gorgeous city, but fuck the weather. It'd be a nice place to visit.

    Isn't Vancouver significantly warmer than the rest of Canada?

    Looks like US has a good chance to beat France in curling if they pull this off.

    Canada has curling in the bag.

    Sports that don't involve any sort of athletic prowess at all are our specialty.

    It rains all the time in Vancouver, and it's the most expensive city in the world to live in.

    That did not seem right...

    Its not even in the top 15 according to Forbes 2009. I don't really see it on any lists after a quick google search.

    People often get expensive housing and expensive living confused. We are definitely not a cheap place to live but I don't think we're the most expensive.

    Yeah I was looking at overall living cost. Still seems strange when compared to a place like Tokyo, but then again a lot of people who are in Tokyo live in Dasaitama (Saitama) and Chiba etc.

    Is it geography? I used to live in Boulder and property cost will basically go up guaranteed because of a no building (literally no new building and limits on building up). Just seems for Canada's population the last thing they are lacking is space.

    Had a good set up but GB is trying to pull it together, or at least stop the hurt.

    Wow, so I just found out a girl from my old high school is on the olympic team, competing tomorrow. Ashley Caldwell in freestyle skiing aerials.

    Apparently lives literally 10-15 miles away from me lol. Shows how much I keep up with the local news.
