I'm actually from a city about 4 hours away but I lived in Vancouver for a year. It's a not a cheap place to live either. It's one of my favourite cities in the world though. If I can afford it, I'd love to settle down there.

Yeah my friends and family have been telling me about all the fires going on. It's a shame. Two years ago I went home for the summer as well and there was another big forest fire nearby. I thought I was escaping the pollution in China but with the smoke the aqi level was over 400. I was choked. Literally. Hope you enjoy your time over there though!
