    Myths & truths: your city/town/village

    Here's a short videoclip about Vancouver, B.C. Featured on a Canadian comedy show.

    Now the real estate prices they quote are probably pre-late 2008, but Vancouver, BC does have the highest real estate $ in Canada. I'm always shocked when I compare it against Toronto...where I lived previously for 20 years.

    And no, I don't think Vancouver is as diverse as Toronto. It makes me cringe a tad whenever I hear Vancouver as "international". The "visible" diversity in Vancouver is due to more Asian roots (Far East, as well as South Asian/East Indian) and aboriginal/native Indian. An Afro-Canadian person in Vancouver is highly conspicuous...because the % is so tiny compared to huge dynamic communities in Toronto. Hence, Toronto has WAY more roti shops. (I'm thinking both Caribbean as well as East Indian style.)

    But hey, I wait to be challenged on my impressions. I could learn more about where you live..and where I live (due to mistaken impressions?? )
