Wow, what an amazingly thorough post.

Are you moving there, Cath? : )

I spent 6 weeks in Vancuver in the summer of 1986, for the World’s Fair. I’d love to go back.

Funny, someone mentioned the other day Vancouver has a really big drug, thus crime problem. I wonder if Davinia has had to encounter any of that less-than-great side of the city?

(P.S. My passport is Canadian, lucky eh?)

Hi Patricia. We say "eh" a lot up here, eh? I haven't heard about the cheese factor though. I hope your cousin enjoyed her celebration. Davina's last blog post..Future Self Meditation Invites Guidance

Wow – what a treat, Cath! One of my favourite bloggers being interviewed! (by another one)

Since I started blogging I have been curious about the places where other bloggers live. I’ve had the map of North America out, puzzling over strangely named states and cities. British Columbia has come up quite a lot – especially in my early blogging days – so it is great to see those beautiful photos.

It;’s interesting the way Davina felt inspired to live in Vancouver, made the move, and then found things fell into place. That does seem to be the way to do it!

the Vancouver Film School is one of the best in the world but they only help Canadians get jobs (They do most of Disney’s work now in Animation)

There are several good ones in California and then another Superb one in England that my daughter wanted to attend too..she could not get in the door…..FYI

Hi Patricia – I’m glad you like it. We don’t all expect the American’s to be like Bush – but I must admit, I did think that stupid Americans video was hilarious: http://www.break.com/usercontent/2007/2/Americans-are-stupid-233233.html

But it would have been just as funny if it was British people they were interviewing.

I did not know there was a film school in Vancouver. My daughter is also considering becoming an animator, so it’s useful to know that.

Cath and Davina this was a terrifc post to read today. I have had over the years lots of family who lived in the Vancouver area and my Mother drilled into my head that Canadians were superior people in so many ways! My cousin says when I travel I should tell them I am Canadian instead of US…because of the Bush factor! ( my brother and sister have duel citizenship) not me! He also said they will know it is true that I am Canadian if I apologize all the time and carry a bit cheese?…He now lives in Australia maybe because of the big cheese?
My oldest daughter went to the Vancouver Film School for 15 months and got certified as an Animator and loved her loft apartment and life in the city…now she is in SF, CA

Davina it was nice to hear more of your story and read about another person who journals and then finds their success. I am sure you will do well – even if you did not see my cousin out on the streets celebrating her birthday…

I love to visit Vancouver – we seem to get trapped by family on most visits, but do explore.

Betsy – try Cruise West out of Seattle to Alaska – go right to Vancouver and Vancouver Island – smaller ships with about 80 passengers and hikes and environmentalist educators – one of my kids was a waitress/ room cleaner on board…They are smaller so don’t have such a hard time filling ships and they go into all the nooks and crannies!

Wow Cath and Davina this just brought up so many things for me to ramble on about…I loved the videos too..Wow a great post

Thank you both

Hi Vered – Vancouver looks fab. I’m guessing the flight won’t be too far for you.

I guess Mike is used to smaller places. Where I live it is kind of quiet. I’ve lived in small towns before and I found it too noisy. I love the look of Vancouver but I don’t know how I’d cope with the busyness of a city.

Maybe there would be places on the outskirts that would be quieter? We barely have any street lights here. There was one sort of opposite the house but I think some kind person must have popped it with a stone – I hated the light from it at night.
