Some of you may know: I'm considering moving to Vancouver. Today I am in Toronto visiting a friend. I took the train from Guelph and got lost in the rain on streets lined with condominiums, people wearing identical black coats and rushing with grimaced faces. Do I really want to live in a city as large as Vancouver? Be forced to take public transit, be constantly surrounded by concrete, and unable to see the horizon. I am not a city person. I doubt I ever will be. But there's a time for everything, correct? Well if there is, perhaps there's a time for cities. A time for unreasonable rent. A time for the skytrain. A time for living among city folk. A time for becoming city folk? Nah. There's no time for that one.
I can tell you though. There's not going to be a time for living in Toronto. If a city is this large it should at least have some beautiful landscapes to surround it. I also bought an umbrella this morning. Maybe that makes me one step closer to becoming a Vancouver dweller.
