I like it here, but it can be a bit pricey to live - it can take some persistence to find a good place in a decent neighbourhood for a fair price.

Surfing here is almost non-existent :( which is sad, I just started to getting into it before I moved to Van. On the island how ever it's pretty good but it's a good 5 to 6 hours travel time to get there. I've only gone once last summer (I've been here 3 years now) but some of my buds are big into it and have cars :) unlike my hobo self so I'm hope'n to get out a bit more this summer.

Stay away. Its not nice here. Not at all. Nope. Horrible city. Trees everywhere and the mountains just take away from my view of the city.

You're home alone on a Friday night and drunk, and I know it.

haha. Not much different from being home with the lady drunk is it K?
Vancouver's job market is seriously back asswards. The pay is mediocre at bst and its hard to break into the decent shops because the jobs are at a premium and the decent shops are still dealing with the budget constarints of the Canadian advertising market. There are a few exceptions but I'm happier working for an American studio than I ever was working for a Canadian one. If you can swing it I reccomend freelancing. Working for yanks and living in Canada is the best of situations to be in.
