Ones that come to mind for me are Vegas, Toronto, Paris

    I lived in Calgary while I went to college and I made so many friends with zero effort. I thought that the huge transient population was kind of cool. I live on vancouver island now and connecting with people here is almost impossible by comparison

        I’m in Victoria, too. 8 years here and not much of a friend group even with such like minded people at work.

        I feel like Victoria is maybe the best city in all of NA but man the vibes here are strange. Go out west into the woods and it just gets weirder. I have stories and those woods breathe evil I swear.

            My gf moved here less than a year ago from mainland and she can’t believe how strange and different people are on the island compared. There’s also that weird group of people who never seem to leave victoria and they have such an incredibly narrow minded view of everything. My manager at work was born in victoria and the furthest place he’s been on the island is point no point. Wtf.
