12 Things Vancouverites Living In Toronto Can Relate To

Did you just move from the Best/West coast to the Beast/East coast? Here are some things that you may be able to relate to.

1. "Excuse me, where's the closest skytrain?"

It's not called a skytrain here. It's a subway. Like the sandwich shop... but not.

2. The transit system is a lot stricter

Vancouver's skytrains are pretty much run by the honour system. There's the occasional "fare checks" but let's be serious, that happens about twice a year.

3. You don't understand the new lingo

"Hey you reachin'?" Reaching for what? (Apparently that means... arriving at a destination or something).

4. People don't understand your lingo.

"Look at that girl over there." "Right? That nammer over there is such an LG." "Um, is that English?"

5. The tap water tastes different.

Bottled water tastes the same. But tap water tastes like someone filled a glass with regular tap water, put it in a freezer filled with a bunch of food, let it sit overnight, and then took it out to melt the next morning. That's what it tastes like - melted freezer water.

6. It's cold. Like, really cold.

What is warmth?

7. People are busy. All. The. Time.

Even if they're not busy. They make it look like they're busy.

8. Pizza Pizza Is The Greatest Thing Ever

It's cheap, delicious and pretty much the best thing since sliced bread.

9. If you're new to the city, your go-to excuse is "I'm not from here."

"Hey do know where Dundas street is?" "No, I'm not from here."

"Why are you wearing 80 layers of clothing?" "It's freezing and I'm not from here."

"How are you not a Leafs fan?!" "Because they suck... and I'm not from here. GO CANUCKS!"

10. But if you lived here for a while, you take pride when people assume you're a local

Need directions to the closet Pizza Pizza? You got it.

11. You get excited to try out basic things that aren't available in Vancouver

Taking an Uber for the first time was exhilerating, yet slightly disappointing. It's basically a poor man's taxi.

12. Did I mention it's always cold?

Like actually, wind chill feels like you're getting slapped in the face repeatedly by the abominable snowman.

13. You're not sure whether you love it, or hate it here

Am I a west coast girl, or east coast gal? I don't know.

But at the end of the day...

whether you're a West Coast kid, or an East Coast kid...

We're all still Canadians
