Viva la Vancouver, Are You Serious?


By




Hi,
I recently came upon this site. Great site.
It feels good to meet fellow desis. Looks like some guys from Ahmedabad too.

My main reason for writing is about Canada. Especially Vancouver.
I was a student - did my 3d Animation diploma from VFS (Vancouver Film school) and am presently looking for jobs.

I found Vancouver to be a very cold place, not climate wise but people wise. It seems this city has no soul- people come here from all parts of the world but no one really belongs here. More like a zombie town for Evil Resident games.

Downtown Van is poor..for the first time in My life I have seen beggars in a western city rumbling through garbage cans and druggies and junkies on the road.( I have traveled all across the globe but never seen such a sight) . Drugs are legal (second only to Amsterdam!!) my guess. And the people here act as if they are some superior beings. Too much ego over nothing.

Vancouver is beautiful no doubt about that, but what to do with beauty when u have no inner peace. The job situation in Van is slow..very slow..esp in my field..not many studios. After spending 25 K on my diploma. Now I am applying for jobs at Wendy's!.

Every morning I am asking myself. Why did I even come here? What did I even deserve to be here?

~Bad karma, I guess.
