Well, the title says it all !. Being in Vancouver for a day looks like I was brought up here. People are friendly (has a lot to do with my location) and are willing to help you in any way (even the cops ). As you might have read before I live (rented an apartment through Craigslist.org) in Yaletown and this proved to be an excellent decision. Everything is around me; (grocery)shops, clubs, cafes, coffeeshops (of course not the Dutch ones though the ‘culture’ is the same), car rental, Granville Island, the water (very Dutch), the beach (right around the corner) and much more.

A few days ago I rented a Ford Mustang Convertible (hoping to get it, you know how it goes. I’ll probably end up with a Dacia Logan) which I will get this Wednesday to go to Vancouver Island for the weekend (my aunts live there). The funny thing is that I got it for 3 weeks for only 300CD. I was very happy (almost as happy when I got my first Sony). The drive promises to be amazing. A spectacular 3,5 hour drive (including the ferry) towards everyone’s favorite weekend destination; Gabriola Island.  Hope the cruisin’ goes well.

The other day some Chinese coño tried to sell me a prepaid sim-card for 117,50 CD at the Rogers shop on 1392 Robson Street in Vancouver. When I went to Wireless Wave they told me it’s nonsense that an activation fee of at least 100 CD applies. I soon realized I got f*****. After I bought the sim card at another location I went back to the Rogers store and told this Chinese take-away-burger-flippin-whore that I got the simcard from next door without paying that amount of money and that I worked for the VancouverSun (a newspaper based in Vancouver). Clearly I don’t work for them but she realized she did the wrong thing. I walked outside and said the wonderful phrase ‘have a nice day’ (same thing a cop says when he/she gives you a ticket). But this time I meant it .

Everytime a purchase is made they *all* ask me if I have a coupon, stupid coupons !. Felt like McCulkin in Home Alone 1 when he buys a toothbrush…….you have a coupon for that? Bloody hell.
