[timber]

I want to come down to Seattle soon, but I have to renew my passport. Boooo

[Drift]

Hey everyone from van. I'm new to the city and I need to get a haircut. What are some good salons? I'm in the Main / Broadway area any good places near by?

[Tiranis]

Edit: since Timber failed twice at posting her info, I'll help her.

There's a place up on Main/28th called 'The Beehive' that I go to...Jenn is an awesome hairdresser.

She cuts both my hair (thick, wavy, insane) and my boyfriend's (thin, straight obedient) so she has skillz.

[larssss]

whoa, i used to get my haircut by a jenn at the beehive like 4 years ago, i wonder if its the same lady?

[timber]

WHOA What happened to my post - I'm losing my mind. Tiranis, you are a forum god.

Lars, that's her! She moved to Victoria where Devlin and I met her and then back to Vancouver. And I think you know the story from there

[azn8oi]

Hi Vancouver. If I see you guys walking around in the streets, I'll say hi.

[azn8oi]

By the way, out of curiousity, what do Chinese American people do for fun in Richmond? I live in the Richmond of LA, so I'm just trying to do a comparison of how boring life can be out in the bumfucks.

yeah.

[E36]

i live in richmond. the only curedom to the boredom and insufferable suburbia is to smoke copious amounts of weed

[azn8oi]

lol, same thing as back as home then.

btw I just realized that I wrote 'Chinese American' in the other post. OOPZ hahhahaa

[E36]

saw some dude at SFU rocking white studded DBSSs

reveal yourself.

[timber]

Dude, go to Diaso in the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. Two floors of dollar store goodness.

[azn8oi]

Haha Timber, I already know Daiso. I haven't been to the one here, but probably will to pick up some small food items. T&T is a fucking ripoff for some things, but it's not too bad. Vancouver is a very nice town, love it here. I just think East Hastings can get a bit TOO seedy for my tastes at night, but yeah lol.

also richmond has alot of good restaurants. pm me with what ur looking for

[whizzy]

vancouver sucks because we dont have in-n-out. my biggest regret moving from sd to van

[timber]

We do have two Fatburgers.

East Hasting is creepy, true, but it's usually okay during the day.

[BeauIXI]

East Hastings is my anti drug. Hey, it's a source of inspiration, isn't it? An acrid reminder of the filth below the polished red bricks of Yaletown.

[timber]

The only things that really bum me out about living in Vancouver are:

1. Expensive transit system.

2. I want to live in Chinatown but it's too sketchy at night.

3. If there was a film industry in Seattle, I'd probably move there.

But overall, I do like living here a lot.

[azn8oi]

Chicken poutine with chipotle mayo suace, oh how have I lived my life without you??????????? oh man.

The only things that really bum me out about living in Vancouver are:

1. Expensive transit system.

I've heard this before, and I'm not convinced.

fares have gone up in the last few years which is a hassle, but they're 2.50 right now

Some brief internet research suggests that this is worse than New York (2.25) and Portland (2.30)

but better than Toronto (3.00), Montreal(2.75), and Seattle (2.75)

rent is still retarded though

[Tiranis]

It might not be too expensive, but it's certainly not good value for what you get out of it. (availability, etc.)

[mr fluffernutter]

it's definitely a bummer if you have to travel through multiple zones.

[shark jacobs]

yeah, i give you that, it sucks everywhere that's not Vancouver itself (but everyone who doesn't live in the city has a car)

there's also no excuse for how infrequently night busses run, but on the whole i would argue that transit in vancouver is better than everyone gives it credit for

[timber]

Yeah. Diamonds and I live in North Vancouver and just to go downtown it costs $3.75. SHUDDER.

I have a school bus pass and it's amazing. I'll never take it for granted.

[U MAD]

protip: you can get a u-pass for $27 from anyone who goes to UBC/SFU/Cap/whatever.

[NESK]

or you can live downtown and pay and extra $400 a month and save it all back on transit costs.
