Vancouver is an amazing city. It is a world class city in the same league as Sydney, San Francisco, NY, London, Amsterdam etc. Its like the Canadian SFC, I plan to move there eventually...
I live in Calgary which is basically an oil rich, soulless city full of douchebags. The women are hella fine, but they are very materialistic. People that visit here seem to like it, but living here most of my life I cant say too many good things about it. The mountains and Banff are only a 1 hour drive away which is ok I guess if you like that kind of thing...
