Q: Myself and fifteen others are heading to Vancouver for three months from Ireland and I'm just looking for advice. I'd like to know about places to live, jobs, things to see and do in general. We all have work visas. Irish is my second language but that's not going to be much use to me in Canada. I've French as well but it's not to a high enough standard that I'd feel comfortable putting it down on a resume.
A: Be prepared to enjoy (shared with San Francisco, New York City, and Toronto) the best Chinese food in North America. The Vancouver area has lots of Indian and Pakistani immigrants, too, when you are in the mood for masala curries. Make sure to take the boat to Victoria. Lovely little city; very British architecture. Enjoy our B.C. wines. Some are among the best in the world but we do not make enough for exporting (kind of like Switzerland). Tall, almost 1700 meter mountains jut up at harbour's edge from the northern near suburbs of the city!
