I love living in Victoria. One of the main reasons why I love the Garden City so much is because of the girls. Everyday, its like there is a hot girl convention in town. And all you have to do to attend, is be there.
I know that people that live outside of British Columbia will roll their eyes and go, “yeah yeah yeah, I know… the scenery in BC is so nice.”
But the reality is, the SCENERY in BC IS very nice. I can always tell the Canadian men that have recently moved to town. They are the ones sporting a semi in their jeans all day.
I like Victoria because everyone seems to be out and about. I bike to work everyday at around 10AM. And everyday I bike past a parade of people biking, walking, running, trekking. On a weekday at 10AM? Amazing. I went downtown to buy some running shoes… and a never ending chorus of ladies would just run into the running room, grab a drink of water and ducked out. the clerk didn’t even pay them any notice. None. The man is so accustomed to hot, sweaty girls in athletic stretch pants coming into his store… his eyes, they do not gaze. That does not happen in Toronto (or the clerk was gay?).
I bike home and I pass another crowd of folks out for leisure time. Young people, old people, friends, seniors. There are 91-year-old Betty’s going for a stroll in Victoria right now who remember what rationing was during war time. But you can bet that while they were saving their lard to make bombs to kill Nazis, they were smoking hot doing it.
Its mental.
My running shoes are pretty nice.
Go with yourself.
Life is better outside, at least in the summer.
but what makes Victoria so great… is there is a lot of summer!
