Have you made the trip before?  I drove into Vancouver at night.  It is like looking at a city from Star Wars.  It is just freakin'  (accckk, acccckkk) crazy lookin'. . . maaaan.

This was my first time. I went with 3 friends, one of them went to vancouver film school so he wanted to go see some of his friends from there. The audi we took didn't really have a working stereo so there was no music, lucklily i brought my ipod. I don't see how anybody can drive for 6 hours or more without music.

Better beer
222s (AKA OTC codeine)
Better looking hookers (WHAT?  You've never gone hookerspotting?)
Tons of cute Asian grrls in the latest fashions
Again better beer
Better night life
Crepes
Better snowboarding (Whistler RULES!)
Better Eggs Benedict
Generally better food
More progressive politics
More trim and fit people (I feel fat up there)
Pay by the visit (not the month) gyms
Better parks
Better roads (except that they're all really narrow)
All cars must have headlights on ALL THE TIME
The stop lights flash before they change
Actual Social programs (like healthcare)
A government that isn't trying to police the entire world
The beer again...
...
I could go on...



OK... Enough of that...


Glad you had some fun...  And...  NO MUSIC IN THE CAR!!!   I'd go batty after about 30 minutes...

It means they're about to change... Err...  I mean...  Aboat to change. 

I think it's good...  They have steady green, flashing green, yellow, red...  Sometimes flashing red...  Flashing yellow too?

Whatever...  The flashing just means it's about to change.     Makes it harder to get surprised by a yellow light.

From what I've just managed to gather from the red, a flashing green light means the light is controlled by a pedestrian cross walk.  It seems to mean go ahead and cross, but watch out for pedestrians (who have the right of way).  Pedestrians may or may not have a button that can change the traffic light. 

Weird Canadians.   

Hmm...  I saw lights that would be steady green, then flash green, then yellow, then turn red...  And I swear I saw one that flashed red before it turned green again...

i hate the stoplights in vancouver.

the flashing greens.. in vancouver flashing green means simply that the light is pedestrian controled..

here in Ontario.. flashing green means ADVANCE LEFT TURN.. needless to say, BC driving takes some getting used to comming from toronto haha.

dude why would anyone go to canada?  it'd start sucking real fast to eat blubber sandwiches and live in igloos all the time...fuckin eskimos and their wiggly noses and shaZam!...pisses me off...f%$king eskimos...

A line like that gets us banished to HR where we will have to take the diversity workshop 

stereo types in general are always funny , but it's especially funny hearing american stereo types of canadians for some reason.  for those of you who haven't been, you should make the trip sometime!

And what does that mean?

As a Canadian reading this thread, I find your points of view amuzing. On a side note, BC grows the best pot.
