Give me a hug or you're cold and unfriendly

[Nevermore]

Vancouver is a nice place to visit but it's not so nice to live there. Way, way, way too expensive and the minimum wage is laughably low. And crime is pretty ridiculous too. Also, smurfing hipsters.

Yeah, it's great for tourists, especially during the Winter games.
Living there ain't too bad, but then, in my experience, you can't ever make enough money anywhere anyway lol. Try Winnipeg, eleven bucks for a pack of smokes.
As for crime, I reckon every big city has it. :/ I know they got statistics and crap, but I don't know how much to rely on those.

I don't hug people because you never know who could be gay and maybe have AIDs. It's a very scary reality that I have to deal with on a very daily basis.

You must live in a small town.

Roto I don't know about you but as native Torontian, I never found my own city to be unfriendly.

Everyone has neutral look when they are out an about and if someone gave me an eye contact and smile, I would smile back.

I'm totally cool with the people of Toronto. Ok, someone screamed at me to smurf off yesterday, but he was clearly a crazy person.

Another crazy person stopped my husband today and asked if he could borrow his cell phone for an hour. The hell.

I remembered something today. I remembered that I met one of my best friends when he started talking to me randomly when I was out for a walk. He was hitting on me, though.

I smile at people a lot but I'm too much of a spaz to talk to anyone without making them think I'm even more insane. I have talked to random people before but not so much. Everyone on the coast is arrogant, everyone in the hinterland is a redneck/bogan and everyone in the city is too important/busy/whatever to talk to you*

*Gross generalisation but whatchagonnado

On the whole I would say York is a very friendly city. It's a thriving tourist centre, so I suppose to a certain extent it has to be. I find the North of England to generally be a very friendly place, really.
