I would swim to the bottom, and drink my way up.
But the sea isn't vodka, and I'm not a duck.
So give me the vodka, and stfu.

wow, Vancouver's dropped to 8th place. I wonder if the E Hastings strip has anything to do with that...  Apparently we're the most expensive city to live in, but also have the poorest postal code in the country.

East Hastings has the same HIV rate as Botswana. Its pretty ridiculous.

There is an alley in E-Hastings that a friend and I refer to as "the gauntlet"
The name of the game is to run through the alley at night from one side to the other. If you get to the other side of the street without AIDS, you win!

Neither of us has tried the game, but maybe someday.

it was done during the boom time not too long ago so understandable, that economically, it was very good...  cost of living is still ridiculously high here...  and those that have moved for the boom have left or are considering leave (yours truly included)
