Ive spent months doing tones of research on where id like to live in Canada after visitng Australia and New Zealand (unless I love either of those places). Of course you never know until you visit them but im trying to reduce my list down to only 2-places so i can pay them a visit in due course.
Halifax
Edmonton
Surrey (near Vancouver)
Are the ones left on my list. All have good and bad points. Edmond for example is more modern than the other two which might put me off. Halifax is small and puts me off but its architecture is supposed to be far better than that of the other two. Have only heard that Surrey is dirty and it's expesive. But does anyone actually live in these citites that could shred some light on what they are actually like?
I know (from what ive read) that they are friendly citites and clean (well until someone told me Surrey wasn't).
The last time I posted a few wanted to know exactly what is was I am looking for in a City. Well this is what (in no order):
- Clean and tidy
- Friendly
- Pretty (nice architecture)
- Nice cafes
- Nice relaxing bars to have a chilled drink somewhere
- Not bothered about the night life but it would be nice to have some clubs to chose from, and nice ones.
- A good place to bring up a family
- Not too expensive to live (don't we all won't that), i.e. resonably price properties
- Plenty of greenary and parks.
- Not too many sky scrapers (i dont mind them but too many crowd a city)
- low unemployment and low crime
- Relaxing but at the same time vibrant city
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: somewhere that's not windy! can't stand the wind.
- Thing's to do, don't want to be bored.
Well, not much to ask really
