>tfw you'll never live in Vancouver, Canada
It feels so fucking bad. Most beautiful city i've ever seen. So many trees and parks even near the high rises. It's manages to find the perfect harmony between nature and technology. The outer city is even more serene and the weather is all mild year around. I'd give anything to live there ;_;
>>58287936
>Most beautiful city i've ever seen
I've never heard ANYONE call Vancouver beautiful before. The surrounding is beautiful, but the city itself is SO fucking ugly. That picture you posted is ugly, those buildings are nasty looking. i've never seen a north american city with worse architecture.
>>58288162
>I've never heard ANYONE call Vancouver beautiful before.
Maybe you're just not well informed enough. I mean look at all that green space! Or just hop on to google maps and take a "walk" inside the city. It looks clean and very livable, almost futuristic. It even btfo's a lot of European cities - which to me is a huge deal.
>i've never seen a north american city with worse architecture.
You might want to look up Jew York. or L.A. Or pretty much any big U.S city except for Washington and San Fransisco.

Vancouver is where i developed my childhood fear of clowns
>tfw I live here but I never even go outside because I am a neet
>>58288855
lolwut. New York has amazing architecture and LA has some interesting buildings as well. Vancouver has shit architecture. You have no idea what you're talking about.
>>58290214
I think the point the hungarian is trying to make is that the city is livable which isn't wrong. The city is designed to serve its residents, it is boring looking and kind of looks like a shitty sim city simulation, but that doesn't always come with negatives, as he said it has plenty of parks, cycling paths, buildings are surrounded by greenery everywhere. You can't find this in NYC or LA despite having good architecture, though LA is not so much.
>>58287936
i hate that kind of modernist space age ecological looking shit
>>58287936
>you'll never live in Vancouver, Canada
neither will Canadians. it's a city for Chinese nationals only.
>>58289815
Not even to cycle a little? You should definitely go outside once in a while. Watching the stars is free, for example. Grab a friend or two, and it'll be tons of fun.
>>58290214
this anon translated it very well into digestable English >>58290388
>>58290534
Why? It's nice. Sure, I could do without the high rises, but they made them as humane and unobtrusive as possible. Even my delicate European sensibilities remained unoffended.
>Hungarians are Mongols that invaded Europe a long time ago
>Vancouver is Asian
Makes sense desu.
>Europoors never fantasize about my city (Phoenix) despite being one of the biggest in the country
Feels bad.

Anon. Us Europeans aren't meant to live in weather like that. We're a fragile species that need temperate, oceanic, mild mediterrean climates, preferably with four seasons and below 35-30 celsius degree summers.
>>58290388

Which ones? The ones before the rich Kowloon fucks came, bought up everything and raised the prices to higher than Toronto's or the rich Kowloon fucks?

Seattle is better, anyways. Legal weed, better architecture and also, it's actually in America.

Stop self hating

Fantasizing about living elsewhere =/= hating your home country.
Its a nice city to look at, but unfortunately its full of Canadians

I personally don't believe it, but I appreciate that you think so.
>>58293157
I came. So beautiful.
>>58293365
Vancouver might be nice
But they don't have an unique culture and way of life like you guys do.
Hungary has cooler buildings and landscapes imo.
>>58292823
>and also, it's actually in America
how is that a good point? lol
>>58293450
>unique culture and way of life
I'm kinda dubious about that. I think we're just general Eastern Euros who speak a meme language. Austrians are definitely more refined and interesting imo.
>Hungary has cooler buildings and landscapes
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I generally like European cities, but Budapest and most Hungarian cities are falling the fuck apart, due to lack of funds and - no offense - latin american tier corruption. Literally every single politician is stealing money. We have more in common than you'd think.
>>58293843
I can't make you think otherwise.
But if i had to choose between Vancouver and Budapest i'd pick Buda.
Hungarian cinema has taught me you guys live drowned in depression and misanthropic selfhatred so i guess finding a magyar who loves his country is hard.
Yours is not a meme language. A meme langauge is english and french, bro.
>Endless sea of glass high-rises
I mean it's better than the most US cities because it's not a massive suburb but it's pretty bland and soulless.
>>58293765
Seattle is in America, and Vancouver is in America Lite
>>58294043
>But if i had to choose between Vancouver and Budapest i'd pick Buda.
Aww.. that is stupid, but really adorable <3
>Hungarian cinema has taught me you guys live drowned in depression and misanthropic selfhatred so i guess finding a magyar who loves his country is hard.
We're in fact proudly amongst the first 20 countries in the world for the highest suicide rates. 12th, for men. I think we used to be amongst the first 5 for a while, but this last couple of years things had improved for some reason. I almost killed myself twice too, but chickened out in the end.
Also, how come you watch Hungarian cinema? Do you watch the good stuff (pre-1940), or contemporary ones?

What a hypocritical fucker! It astonishes me to see you lie in such an embarrasing way. You can't compare fucking budapest with Hongkouver.
Who cares what a city looks like from above? You're not birds. You're looking at the city from street level when you're in the city.
>Euro says something nice about Canada
>Cue the "b-b-ut muh city is so much better"
Every time. That said, I have to agree Vancouver is pretty overrated. I've lived around this area all my life, so maybe I take the scenery and whatnot for granted. There are way too many fucking chinks though and it's damn expensive to live here cause of HK billionaire real eastate fuckery. Might be nice for a visit if you're in this corner of the globe for some other reason, but I wouldn't move here. It's not that great.

>>58296094
"nice place to live" is quite a subjective term
I love my country because i like living in my own terms.
Maybe hungarian hate themselves because they eat western propaganda too, i'd kill myself if i fell for it too
I don't like how American cities have a skyscraper downtown surrounded by endless, homogenic mass of urban sprawl. That's just not how it should be.
>>58296154
Jesus, that edge
>>58292691
you should know that vancouver has always had inflated real estate, far before the chinese zillionares.
rich anglos moved into there in 60's, 70's and 80's, I know because my father built homes for rich people in the vancouver area

I absolutely loathe myself and my life. A lot of it can't be changed, even if I stand upside down. Sadly my will to live is too strong, so it doesn't look like there will be a suicide anytime soon.

I don't really watch Hungarian cinema (I'm an American-boo) but I can give you like the general stuff I had watched growing up and everyone knows.
Cartoons: Vuk, Ludas Matyi,Macskafogó.
Films: Moszkva tér, Indul a Bakterház. If you're into rom-coms, then Állítsátok meg Terézanyut.

But you can. Besides central park you have plenty of others, even if they are smaller. You also have plenty of trees on the sidewalks. Hell if someone wants trees in front of their building they can literally call to get some planted for free. We have bike lanes too even if they aren't that great.
>>58297756
idk man
I know Toronto and Vancouver are both in the top 5 for best pedestrian cities in North America
>>58297864
Not saying they're bad, just that nyc isn't that bad. The places that are devoid of trees are usually streets in the financial district and places like pic related. Parks are also really common, although some are just courts so they don't really have grass.
>>58296391

>>58291513
Why does a big city have to be something to fantasize about? The municipal government and cultural influence decides how much there is to do. In my experience, many American cities just don't have any community. Everyone has a group of 4-5 friends and those circles are scared of each other and never do anything. It's pathetic, unhappiness and eternal complaining.
The worst city I've been to was Dallas. It's like the Winnipeg of Canada. The most fun American City has to be a toss up between Detroit, or Seattle. Black people know how to fucking party.

Dude, I moved there from Ontario and holy fuck, you have no idea how good you have it. Lived there for 2 years and moved back to Ontario for school. I have full intentions on being back. For a sense of outdoor community, it's amazing. Always people on hikes, hunting, canoeing or whatever. I was 14 km North of Pinecone burk and managed for find a German couple canoeing in the middle of fucking nowhere. The international community is dope. You can be downtown and drive 20 minutes into North Van and go for a hike and over look the city. Not many places can you do that. Try the Maritime provinces lol.
>>58296590
Idk what can be so bad about your life and honestly dont know how it cannot be changed either...
But i wish you the best my magyar bro you sound like a cool dude!
>>58298632
i earn less than that and am happy as fuck.
this is why "nice place to live" is a subjective term.
Vancouver's only nice if you're either Rich and/OR Asian.
>>58298795
Where the asian qts at?
>>58298795
where do poor canadians live?
>>58298813
Vancouver mainly, but Asians are everywhere in Canada. Any big city you'll find tons of them, especially around universities.
>>58298590
Well just ignore me then, have a nice rainy pic.
>>58298816
Depends, there's poor Canadians everywhere, in the shittier parts of the cities which in comparison they would seem good in terms of Venezuela. There's also a lot living in the country/farms.
you WOT m80

>>58298978
This wtf does la have?
>>58299014
I don't I live in Edmonton, which is far colder than Vancity. If you want true cold try Winnipeg or Whitehorse.
>>58287936
one problem though, the incredible amount of arabs and niggers.
>>58299071

nah thanks mate
our 18 degree winter average is already 3cold5me

Ha, you just need a nice coat and toque and you'll adapt. I go by this rule, it's easier to warm up than it is to cool down. I've been to the tropics and I don't know how you guys can live like that without killing yourselves...
>>58298971
I'd say the aboriginal people in the northern territories. am I rite canadian friend?
>>58299266
Aye, yeah I often forget about them. They're pretty poor, but they get money from the govt, which they use to drink and do drugs instead of improving their lives. I mean they could go to any university in Canada and it's all paid for. I wish I had that privilege.
>>58299129
Better then Toronto, lol. At least here, the Chinese know what lines are and basic courtesy.
Surrey has it really bad but it's also a very fast growing city. Also when you get to know the brown town communities. Sikhs and Sunni's are Bros... Indians are hit and miss... All other brown demographics are spiteful cunts.
>>58298971
Nunavut. Barely anybody lives there, it's just the Inuit and like a military base way up north. I watched a video about life up there, apparently Iqaluit (the capital) is so small in terms of population that when they get shipments, people use the shipping containers as like extra buildings/storage because the shipping companies don't want them back for whatever reason, I forgot exactly why though. But they have their own writing script which is kinda cool, ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᓴᙱᓂᕗᑦ.
>>58298934

to be fair man, they live in +40. not many of us could handle that either.
>>58299364
I've heard that there are chinese enclaves in the vancouver metro area where the street signs are in mandarin only and that has caused outrage among canadians. Is that sorted out now?
>>58299510
I haven't noticed. There are Mandarin shop signs and shit but not on public markers.
>>58299423
Ahhh.... Good point. Sorry, >>58298934
Aussi dude. Id probably die of heat exhaustion. Fuck, at +25 I sweat buckets sitting the the shade.
>>58299510
>the Chinese have succeeded in getting Chinese only signs in Canada, but Quebec still has to have signs in English and French (even private business signs and stuff from what I know).
>>58299510
No no no, not true. There was some kind of meeting in one of the heavy Asian neighbourhoods in Vancouver and the sign said in English and Mandarin "Mandarin only" Not sure what happened but a lot of people were pissed.
There's no public signs in Mandarin, aside from Chinese businesses in Chinatown and what not, which also have English on them. It's not that fucking bad like people say it is.
>>58287936
>mfw people who say this never seen the real Vancouver aka inside the actual city
There is a reason all the pictures you see are of the outside.
>>58299653
No. There are entirely French restaurants where servers won't go to your table until you attempt to speak French. Menus in French. Even in places like New Brunswick, its not really that uncommon.
Fuck, any international community will have English with their Native language on menus if they are popular enough. I've been to a place in North Van where the menu was entirely Farcy.
Chinese restaurants have it to, but the servers aren't as cunty as the French. They will speak English to you and try to explain what the ingredients are in the picture you point at on the menu. In my experience, Id take Chinese over the French anyday. Friendlier with better intent, they just come from an eviscerated culture. Perspective is everything, the French refuse to acknowledge it.
>>58299510
>I've heard that there are chinese enclaves in the vancouver metro area where the street signs are in mandarin only and that has caused outrage among canadians. Is that sorted out now?

This, as funny as it sounds Asians integrate better than French do. Sure Asians speak their moon rune language but they also speak English and do not expect you to speak their language at all, even in their home country (even though they appreciate the effort) unlike the french who are just general assholes about anything, even if they don't realize it.
>>58299888
>but they also speak English
No they don't. The younger generation yeah but not those old fucks who've lived in the country for 30+ years
>>58299989
Well yes and no, their English sucks but they make the effort. Same goes for those old french fucks that either don't know or do know but refuse to speak. That's what grinds my gears, if they can speak it but refuse because of their bitterness.
>>58299800

I know man, I've talked to countless people that have been there, and tried to speak some french and soon as they found out you're from Canada they turn sour. Fuck... I was traveling in Eastern Europe and barely knew any words and when I tried to speak their langauges they were ecstatic, french people are just too elitist about their language and culture. Yeah we get it, you're the best at everything, fuck off please.

canadians you're cool people. Last year I had the opportunity to study at the red river college in Winnipeg, I went through all the process, got accepted, but then the government asked me to show them proof of funds (around 25k loonies in total) so I had to stop the process. If I resume the process, I'd need to take a loan, but my concern is that I'm not sure if it's worth it or not. Should I take a loan and live in debt for the next years but living in canada or stay in my country?
>>58299989
Old dogs have a hard time learning new tricks. You move to China in your 60's and try to learn a new language. It's hard. That's why they rely on their kids to sort everything out. It's not as if they are REFUSING to learn the language.
English is shitty and illogical and their children have been studying it for 12+ years.
>>58300283
>Chinaman defending his lazy incompetent parents
>>58300276
Depends on the course your going to take.
Just because you have a Degree, doesn't mean it is useful.
If you take 25k loan out with a Arts Degree, you fucked up
If you take a 25k loan out and get a Degree or any qualification that lets you be self employed; plumbing, carpentry, millwright, nursing, electrician. THEN it's worth it.
If you get a big BA degree, it doesn't mean much to employers here in Canada, idk about in Colombia.
>>58300276
Well you could come here and study, get a job lined up before you graduate and become a permanent resident, then eventually citizenship if you choose so. Winnipeg's a shithole by Canada's standards but probably not so with Colombia's standards. Come on up bud, and bring some QT latinas with you ;)
