>Last week I had a chance to visit Vancouver for the first time in my life. What a beautiful city! In addition, gentle weather, clean air with ocean aroma, the ocean itself, remote mountains, the forest…., I envy you, people, leaving there!

I think it's a beautiful place too, but you know, when I was living out west in Edmonton, I had to go to Vancouver fairly regularly, and after a while I found myself beginning to feel a bit claustrophobic surrounded with mountains and water. Of course, when you get up into the mountains, the claustrophobia goes away fast.
