You know you’re from BC when…

Got this idea from Metroblogs posting earlier today. Their posting on the Surrey slurs, which were amusing as well, led me to this list on Facebook for BC. Here’s some of my favourites:
- You can’t tell, is marijuana still illegal?
- You know the only thing dividing China and India is the Fraser River
- You know in Greater Vancouver that West Van, the west side, and the west end are all different places.
- the news has extensive coverage of just how badly people in vancouver can drive in 3 inches of snow
- You are genuinely confused with people that don’t consider “Pirate Packs” to be an integral part of a healthy childhood.
- you know that it’s “Science World”, not the “Telus World of Science”.
- you return by plane and the first things you say is: “I can BREATHE!”
- the three main universities are on an island, peninsula and mountain top
- you know that mt washington isn’t actually in washington
- You know how scary it is to drive next to a loaded logging truck.
- (mostly vancouver) You find yourself giving half hour long explanations on what the skytrain is
- You know you’re in B.C. when you find a bear in your backyard then walk to the Starbucks a few blocks away while you wait for the bear to leave
102. you know that an “1 1/2 hour ferry” really means 3 hours. Time to get to the ferry, wait for the ferry, get on the ferry, eat in the buffet on the ferry,and then wait for the broken down VW to get off the ferry.
