We're finally on the ground in Cabarete and enjoying it. Slowly getting acclimatized to the radical change in temperature from cold and rainy Vancouver! Have a few questions, would love to hear from those who've been here a while. 1. Do you know ...

Insight into Vancouver, BC. What is it like to live there. by lancastrian
Hi we are planning to immigrate to British Columbia, Canada. I'm Indian and I have lived in England for 12 years. We visited BC few years ago and totally fell in love with the place for the scenery and beautiful mountains, we throughly enjoyed our ...
I lived in the UK for 8 years, and the last 3 years in Vancouver. Weather-wise it's the same as the UK so no great shock there. Cost of living in Vancouver I found to be slightly higher than Oxford (and most of the UK), but less than London. Some ... Read More

Awesome, thanks very much both of you. And thanks for the welcome. Yeah, we'll keep hunting for a scooter. Found a computer store for the mouse, and found a good exchange place too. Everything's starting to fall in place. If we do a big shop in ... Read More
