I live in Seattle now and I'm hella excited for when the Penguins come to Vancouver and Seattle. I haven't gotten a chance to go up to Vancouver yet, I'm going to use that to make an excuse to go up there for a day or two.
Having lived in both places and currently living at one of them full-time, just know a few things about Vancouver.
1. They drive like absolute shit here, absolute shit.
2. Everyone that you know, whines about how expensive it is here, they're right, but also it's not that bad.
3. Everyone drives like f***ing idiots here, it's shit.
4. Potholes everywhere.
5. Traffic ticket lights, there are a few you will notice, my brother visted and didn't know wtf it was until he sped past one, if you speed past these lights, it's an automatic $140 ticket, it's got its own camera and records it itself, you will see signs, then there's the red light cameras that if you drive through, you'd get ticketed as well - Welcome to British Columbia where Money Laundering is done by criminals and Extortion is done by their Provincial Government.
6. Re - Red light Camera, my Californian mates really struggled with this because in Cali, traffic lights are a mere suggestion, not a rule. Red light? Need that left? f*** it mate, do it. Here? That flash is the camera bending your ass over with a ticket.
Also, the vast majority of Canucks fans (and I apologize for the usage
@Zirakzigil) are
. They will get drunk at the game and see you in your Pens uni and will start hurling insults and try to fight you - We've been groomed by watching games in Philly, you'll live.
