you know you're in vancouver when...

1. when you see the light turn green, yellow, red 5 times (or more) before you get through that intersection 2. when the only reason the traffic is backed up several kilometers is because there's a hill with a slight curve and everyone brakes 3. when it's raining so hard that you have to either a) tailgate the person in front of you and hope they're driving between the lines, or b) leave 6 car lengths ahead of you, for you to make it across the bridge

4. when you're about to leave the country and you can still see tiny white lights beaming from a mountain far far away
5. when you're walking down a major street and running low on either caffeine or sushi and relief is near in sight
6. when you're walking down a major street and having a hard time deciding which sushi place out of 1,052 to visit
7. when you turn around and you can see an undulating sea of people leaving an incredible night of fireworks on the beach

8. ??? tell me yours.

about

I am an Interactive Designer in Vancouver, BC, and a graduate of the Communication Design program at the Emily Carr Institute. I enjoy tea, chocolate and European desserts. My passions here and elsewhere include the local eating lifestyle, environment and sustainability issues, public transit, health and design. You see? They're all related.
