While walking downtown on my way to meet Rebecca on her lunch break, a businessman came out of this deli type place with the rest of his coworkers. It’s no secret that it rains a lot this time of year. Actually, that it rains a lot between now and six months from now, but when this guy says, “Oh look at the sun!”… You are pretty well aware that rain is a very commonplace, everyday thing that living in Vancouver brings.
That was the one, common response I heard from a lot of people when they were told that I would be moving here. “It rains a lot.” Granted I haven’t had the chance to experience the rain more than it being just barely over a week since I’ve been here, but rain isn’t just what you think. Rain can mean anywhere between a drizzle to a heavy downpour. The beautiful thing is that locals don’t care much about predicting the rain either. Waterproof jackets or umbrellas if you remember or want to, but if it rains, no big deal. That’s just Vancouver.
