conversation in English.

4. Your child's 3rd grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze.

5. You can't remember... is pot illegal?

8. You also know which Yaletown restaurant serves the freshest arugula.

9. A really great parking space can move you to tears.

10. A man gets on the Robson Street bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps; You don't even notice.

11. A woman gets on the Victoria Drive bus with live poultry; You don't even notice.

12. The guy at 8:30 am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney. It IS George Clooney.

13. Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

14. The gym is packed at 3 pm ....on a work day.

15. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail is into BDSM, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.

16. The weatherman talks about the weather in other parts of the country, as if we really care.

17. You pass an Oakridge-Kerrisdale elementary school and the children are all busy with their cell phones or pagers while waiting for their personal rides home.

18. You're the only one on the road with a REAL driver's license.

19. The weather forecast calls for possible sunny periods, some cloudy periods, and a probability of rain showers... AND EVERY DAY ITS THE SAME!

I don't think it rains that much here. It definitely rained a lot more in the town that I used to live in a few years ago. I remember some stats on the news about how much rain each city in BC got on average and Prince Rupert was third. I can't remember the top 2 but I remember Vancouver wasn't one of them.
