Q: Hi we are going Perth in October and some people say vancouver would be better, has anybody been both? We are going to work, and my partner is in the building trade.......
A: Last summer I visited Vancouver, a very beautiful city with an important harbor and partially surrounded by the Rockys. I had the impression that the building industry is booming. Many rich Chinese people from Hongkong have moved over to Vancouver wherefore housing prices went up. In Va you have also many parks and amusing areas. Unfortunately I don't know Perth. It is in one of my future travelling plans. In any case, I would recommend to get in touch with your Embassy in Ottawa and Canberra. They can give you full economic, political, cultural information which might be interesting for you before making a definitve decision. Good luck!
