Canada vs Scotland

Okay, so here's my list of good vs bad things about Vancouver, which I've been learning over the past couple of weeks. This may change over the next while, but for now here are the important things to note.

Bad Things:
1) Cheese is really expensive. This makes me sad.
2) Dry shampoo is hard to find. Ditto on the sad.
3) It's rather far away from drunken nights out with my friends.
4) See above. It's important enough to count twice.

Good Things:
1) Steak is cheaper than at home, and is only sold is huge portions. I think their cows may be giants. Regardless, this is awesome.
2) Tropical Skittles rock. Far better than the boring original ones.
3) Public transit is a logical, functional service. In fact, the total opposite to home.
4) There's a pirate themed bar in Vancouver. On the waterfront. Awesomefish.
5) There are people here who like to cause carnage as much as me. This lessons points 3 and 4 on the bad side to just a point and a half.
6) There is sunshine.


So for the moment Vancouver is winning. The sunshine may not last, but when it gets to winter I can just console myself with giant steaks, tropical skittles and continue harrassing my friends to come out and see me. After all, carnage is most fun with those you love.
(Boak. Don't worry, I'm not turning all sentimental and mushy. You guys know who I love, don't make me say it out loud.)
