OK, since moving here I'm adjusting very well. My concerns were traffic and rain....so far, no issues there....

However, I got a couple questions for you Vancouverites, Vancouverins, Vancouverwhatchacallems,,,errr

first question) What are people from Vancouver called?

2nd) How come when i want to go on the "CAMBIE STREET bridge", I gotta get on NELSON?

And as a side note, Cambie is my favorite bridge. I don't use it EXCLUSIVELY(but to "my friends", if I did, it would be MY choice, and what of it? It's my life, I can choose any bridge i want to be my atf, so leave me alone about it, HUH???)

3rd) I do not have a racist bone in my body(do racists always say that?)...anyways, what is with the asians and invading MY PERSONAL SPACE....good gawd there's tonnes of room in the fuckin elevator, YOU DONT HAVE TO STAND RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!!!!, and don't even get me started on lineups....what gives?

Thanks in advance to the anwsers to these important questions, I will add to this thread until it bores me....

Try going to Asia - Hong Kong, or Guangzhou or India. If you think crowding is bad here- you ain't seen nothing yet. These folks are used to being up close and personal.
By the way, they are called CANASIANS.

interesting

Take whatever bridge you want....and why do we get on Hemlock to get onto the Granville st. bridge.

It's Vancouverites.....also known as "people that were smart enough to leave Ontario"

As for Asians, wait until you are trying to get out of an elevator and they all barge in before you even get one foot towards the door.....or for that matter, wait until summer when you see the full storm trooper face shield some of them wear....before I am told I am racist - has anyone seen a single non-asian person wear these damn things?? .....and yes us white folks have plenty of annoying habits as well.

.....your little avatar makes it look like you were from Seattle....did ya not notice the rain there?

we wonder

As for the bridges and their odd little merges with other streets, I think the founding fathers were stoned.

I am certain some odd thing must have happened on at the space needle....I will leave it it at that.

It should be interesting hearing the quirks about the city - I be born and raised here....so an outsider's perspective could be intriguing.

Notice the 400 starbucks yet?

Crowded? It aint shit crowded here at all. There were many times I took a cab to get away from people. The subways and buses wore me out.

And if you think it dies down at night you got another thing coming!!

Why does the Frasier Bridge cross the Fraser River?

Why is West Vancouver due north from Vancouver?

Why is the Vancouver International Airport in Richmond?

It's West of North Vancouver, which is North of Vancouver. Why does this remind me of Abbot & Costello ?
