I'm staying in the Samson backpacker and its really cool. heaps of awsome people and a mad pub down stars with cheap food n piss. the only downside to this place is its location right in downtown Vancouver.
Got fairly drunk the first night. started way to early because the sun went down at about 3.30 so i started drinking not long after that. one of the guys in our room got kicked out for peeing out the window haha
Their is homeless people everywhere hastling you for money. its mostly in this area of town but its still pretty scary to see these people. On top of that their is a ridiculous amount of drug dealers and gangsters. Yesterday morning when i went down to get my tax number with a friend, as soon as we walked out of the hostel door this due asks ask if w had weed and i was like nah sorry dude and this dudes cracked the shits n gone "fuck you, you fucking asshole" so we thought it would be smart to walk the opposite direction than him.
Some of the bums are really nice but, this one scary looking fat African bloke was really nice in asking us for money. his gone "Hey boys, do you mind if i ask you a question? do you have any spare change i could use to buy some food?" he was really cool in his approach but i'm pretty sure he was on something.
To be honest the city is exactly like that GTA game, the cars, the people and the landscape is ridiculously simular.
cant wait for the boys to come, their gonna have a ball.
Also had to buy a phone yesterday. they dont sell sim card at many places but the ones they do it ends up costing bout $70 so it was cheaper to buy a phone.
my number is 403-434-0565
i haven't been able to take many pictures yet but i did do a cool little video thing yesterday
well i should have some piccys soonish once i find a decent outlook of the city.
