First the olympics and now you are putting pictures up all over the internet, I am never going to be able to buy a place in Whistler. Not sure if the pullback in Whistler real estate is ever going to happen.
1. Okanogan Valley also in BC(Vineyards,Orchards,sunny and hot in the summer,great lakes, awesome skiing and sunny a bit cold in the winter,real 4 seasons,smalltown feel,affordable real estate) 2.Vancouver. Number 1 for as long as I'm single! I love living here,but Real Estate prices are stupid and I would prefer to raise a family in a more rural area. 3. New Zealand,near Christchurch I was there earlier this year,lovely town,friendly people,favorable exchange rate, gorgeus scenery nearby,awesome river valley,farmland,skiing,ocean!! 4. Would be interested in seeing more of Austrailia,have only been to Melbourne,I am not a fan of Humidity,so it is not for me.Maybe Perth,I hear it is more of a Mediteranean climate. Corvus:Cool pics buddy!! Cheers
Yuk too much snow in Alberta. Montreal is fantastic as a city but must speak a bit of French. They are nastier than in France if you don't . Still damn cold .
Hi Corvus , Thanks for your info. I was about to buy a mini-apt in 1998, but changed idea then, toonf toonf toonf ( sound of my head against a wall). Do you expect prices to rise for winter games? To me seems still a good investment, heard anything from locals? Thanks and Nice photogallery!
My criteria for standard living in a country is Based on: -No of hookers -No of bars and cheap drinks -cheap accomodation -delicious foods -Respect for foreigner Any better place than Thailand you can recommand?
vancouver has low crime, very diverse population, excellent food, no hard winters, lots of beaches AND skiing, lots of local produce, you won't get busted for lighting up an afternoon relaxant, if you live in the city, you can dump the car, fabulous physical beauty, thriving cultural scene by any standard but new york's, broadband everywhere, first-rate parks, skater/rollerblader friendly...just a damn beautiful, relaxing place to live. and $60/month for healthcare is nothing to sneeze at, either. paris is just...paris. people make fun of the French for declaring it an open city in WW2, but i have to say, it was the right thing to do. it is one of humanities great treasures and certainly makes my top-3 list.
not really, lots of places in north america alone far more expensive. vancouver prices have nothing on boston or, ack, new york.
-Manila, Philipines We used to have philipinos maids working in my fathers home for years, Tried few, and did not find them intersting. -Batam, indoneisa Plan on paying a visit soon. -Malaysia Muslim country, too shy to go there -Chinese The chiks are butt ugly Thais chicks in brown rules man..
