Vancouver

Ok people I'm going to give you all a little geography lesson.. now pay attention.

Vancouver is a city. It's located on the west coast (as opposed to east) we face the pacific ocean. It is in Canada. Canada is north of the United States. And because we are on the west coast, we are aligned w/ such places as California & Seattle. In fact we are 3 hours north of Seattle.

WHY DOES NO ONE KNOW THAT??? For crying out loud we're hosting the Olympics in 2010 and as opposed to some other cities, we're located on the coast.. the bottom corner of Canada even. It's hard to not point at it. It's not like Regina which is located somewhere in the middle & rhymes with female genetalia.

I found that a lot when I travel. I understand those that live in Europe may not know where stuff in North America is, but I never get when I talk to Americans that are east of Spokane (Also in Washington) that have no clue. For example, I just spoke with someone that is in Michigan City, IN and had to ask if we were east or west...... I thought at least people would know we were west... In the VERY least but no.. never.

May be I'm just bitter because a shelf fell on my head in the middle of the night. Not always the best way to be woken up.
