Vancouver?

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Are there any jumpers in Vancouver (preferably female) that are prepared to let a couple of 19 year old girls sleep over for a couple of nights in January?

My daughter and her friend are on a low cost budget and to be honest I'm not overly enthusiastic about the whole couch surfing thing.

Thanks,

Before I pass this on to a couple of female friends, one question: do they have their own transportation, and if not, where is the area their "local" activity/interest is centered? (ie: UBC, WestEnd, Burnaby, Grouse Mtn, etc)

We have some spare rooms in Lacey, WA, south of Seattle, if those would help during the trip.



Thanks John. I'll check with her I know they are starting at San Fransisco and moving North.

Thanks. They don't have transport as they are using public transport. Will ask her specifics.

They can always take the train up from SF to Portland to Seattle... and there is a train daily to Vancouver from there

We're minutes off I-5 and close to the Olympia train station. Be glad to host any friends of yours. B|

off I-5



***off THE I-5


Where are you from?

John is correct, that is how we say it up here in the PacNW.

I thank THE Jerry for backing me up on this. I thought proper names needed no definite article. B|

I grew up in So.Cal. NOT CALI. Nobody called it that. I also called it "The 405'', or "The I-5", or "the 91".

Nobody called them Chips, either. :D

Another regional difference in speech. I've lived in TX, UT, and WA and have never used an definite article for a highway, unless to "freeway" or "highway" followed it, such as "the I-5 freeway".

Some say pop, others say soda, I grew up asking for a Coke. :)

I'm going to the store.

Yeah, pick me up a Coke, would ya?

Sure, what kind?

Dr. Pepper and a Dew Juice.

And if NO-ONE called it Cali, explain this song . . . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FdizL4on-Rc

I must beg to differ based upon personal experience. Virtually everyone in SoCal calls them 'the Golden State,' 'the Santa Ana,' etc.

If you asked a gas station attended 'Where is the I-5 freeway?' he justs gives you a blank stare.
