That's it. Vancouver real estate prices have been off the charts for years. Rich HK'ers and Japanese. And then rich white men from Alberta retiring. It's crazy. My sister owns a high end custom millwork business. Mostly works on multi-million dollar homes around the city.

The island is pretty cool. It's just a 90 min ferry ride to Vancouver, so that's not bad. And I'm only an hour drive from Victoria at the south end of the island with 350,000 people. I like living on the edge of the wild, it's a little more relaxed than constantly being surrounded by people. And the island is pretty cool for wilderness, with glaciated mountains, old-growth rain forests, and the ocean all right beside each other.
Is there any skiing there?

Have you seen the rest of Canada much? Place is frickin huge.

The island has two ski resorts, one is more of a backcountry resort and the other is a standard ski resort. Lots of ski touring in the mountains in the interior of the island also. Many traverses, and glacier skiing.

Yeah. I've driven across Canada about 50 times. My business has a location in Ontario as well as on the West Coast here. I've pretty much toured the entirety of North America rock climbing and surfing also.

Actually really good. School is going great, as I'm keeping a 93/100. Hopefully I'll get to work for a big corporate law firm this year. I found out one of my older brother's closest buddies is the son of the owner of a very good firm. :)

How about you, Martino? How's life going in general?

Yep. It always comes down to that.

Btw, I read some Americans dropped a list of most poor countries. Index of pauperism or something like that. That's pretty much when you take into consideration unemployment, inflation, interest rates and GDP. Venezuela and Argentina are on the top while Serbia holds 8th place :tdown: and we're also the worst country in region.

Yea it does, probably sucks for those who don't have any connections..

Finland is fucking poor! Even if it wouldn't seem like that in some list. Taxes and that for prices are so high that people here can't buy shit.. :hustini:

Life has become 80% work. Fun, but hectic.
