I love the cities  (small yet big), love the lakes.  Love the people it's like country meets city.  Love the UofM..  go Gophers!

Dislikes:  Meter maids are mini Hitlers  pure evil..  twice my car got ticketed and I was only 3 min late at the most.

lol CanadianGuy.......I'm glad to hear that....I intend to visit Vancouver one day, and I would hope that you folks never see your city ruined.


You should definitely come and visit. And if you do, I'm always happy to show people around. Kinky folks especially.

Cin


Thank you very much, Cin. I think you'd be a great guide.

Status: offline 		Okay.........here's mine.
 
I live on the upper Texas coastline.....between Houston and the Louisiana border. "The piney woods of southeast Texas" as it's called. So many trees gone now, thanks to development and Rita. Not just pines, but massive oaks, and pecans, and crepe myrtles, and the hated tallows.
 
I love the food here... mexican and cajun cooking second to none....gumbo, etoufee, quesadillas, wet burritos, boiled crawfish, fajitas, shrimp po boys.......umm.... and even some decent italian and chinese places, too. And the barbque...........oh dear lord.....ribs at Tuffys, chopped beef sandwiches at Burtons...and the barbeque baked potato at the Yellow Rose.
 
I love the good manners and good hearts of the people here.
 
I love how you can find most anything within driving distance. Tons of shops (including Parkdale Mall), beaches, forests, professional and collegiate sports, and for such a relatively small community here, a wonderful museum, the Stark, with works by Georgia O'Keeffe, John James Audubon, and Frederic Remington, and the Lutcher theatre, host of national and international touring companies.
 
I love the mild winters (I think the low of this last winter was right at 33 or 34, and that did not last long lol)....and though I don't care for the humidity, summer does make up for it a bit by encouraging the never ending supply of beautiful women to dress appropriately.
 
I love that Tom DeLay is leaving our state (sorry Virginia).
 
I hate that we have a stupid son of a bitch for Governor.
 
I hate how bigotry still manages to rear its ugly head at times, though things have gotten better......I hate the poor air quality......beyond that, I am quite content here.

From central Indiana here...I also hate the fact we went back to DST or as the people in my office call it the FMD Time (F**K Mitch Daniels Time) or FU Time...ha.  I also would have to put Mosquitos on my hate list.

The list of things I hate is long and lady bug invasions and mosquito's are both on the list.. lol but at the top is the fact that my family is in CA and TX and I don't get to see them very often. 2nd place would have to be the dismal lack of educational resources for BDSM venues, although there are plenty of 'play groups'.  I had Janus in SF which is an amazing org and it spoiled me and I was a member of APEX in AZ which I still hold very close to my heart though I'm not a member any more. There is nothing like either one of those orgs here. Himself and I are hoping not to be here much longer so we decided against starting an org here as we did in Utah when we lived there. We are going to try to put together an educational munch group though, so wish us luck. :)

Add to all this...The fact that in Canada, it is not illegal for women to go topless, for gay people to marry, or for adult events to include some good old-fashioned sex, or some hot dungeon action.


Wish i had known that when we lived in North Vancouver for 2 yrs. Is there still that nude beach by UBC?

I heard there will be daily trains running from Seattle during the Games. That seems a lot smarter than waiting in line at the border. Hopefully we can get up there for a day.

Status: offline 		i live in a small tourist town Gt Yarmouth in UK.
The weather is like a box of chocolates, 'You never know what you're gonna get next'!..
i live 10mins from the beach and love to walk down there, its an everchanging scenery. Is heaving in the summer with holiday makers and quiet in the winter months. Our town used to be a thriving off-shore business, but that seems to have moved on elsewhere. We do have a port here tho' so lot's of boat activity
Love the fish and chips here, has to be eaten out of newspaper, they taste sooooo good! We have a variety of resturants, Indian, Chinese and Thai too.

Hugs

Status: offline 		I too love Vancouver, BC.  But with everything there is balance, it is warm....but...wet,  sexually open...but this leads to pansexuals....try and find a furry chested, deep throated dom....incredible scenery...expensive housing....ethnic food....racial tension.....tourist dollars....bad traffic....I have to say the 2010 olymipics I am so looking forward too.  I am already saving money and plan to watch as many ice hockey games as I can.  The sea air and mountain breezes are incredible.  I live in a neighbourhood I go one way and I have 4 strip malls and all the shopping I can want. go the other way and I have a beautiful hike with a water fall at the end.  It truly is paradise.
