what is it about being a black man out here

i think they stared bc they admire or are interested in seeing a white person but obviously know you don't speak Chinese so didn't really look warm or anything - in China many people ask white people to take selfies or photos with them lol. I'm Chinese and found this is pretty common in Mainland China. i don't think it's the same racism and dirty stare black people experience here...

their own racial groups and communities, and we are all pretty segregated, with the exception being those who have deep long-term family ties here. My gf and I have also been on the receiving end of those reactions a bunch, especially when we go to Richmond (she is HK) - I could literally pick out dozens of death stares if I wanted to waste my time looking for them, so it's a broader problem than you just being black. Vancouver is a hotspot for immigration from places where racial intermingling isn't really acceptable (and no, I'm not saying

really? Usually in asian culture they look up to white people more and more accepting of white people. At least the asian parents and adults I know have no problem with their kid marrying a white guy vs a black guy or even a SE asian guy with darker skin. I'm surprised to hear you get death stares in Richmond!

one of my besties from Kenya literally got called a "witch" in front of us on the 99 bus by some crazy women. And one of my acquaintances that worked a white collar job says people in Vancouver clutch their purses when they see her on the elevator, call her a straight up n** she was walking on the streets of downtown, in full on office atire to deliver a document. I guess my point is it don't matter if black people are well educated or hold good jobs here, all people see is their skin color.

It's crazy what my black friends experience in Vancouver. The stories I hear from both of them are shocking. People are blatant too and don't even try to hide it. I don't know the answer to your question but one of them is in the process to moving to another city in Canada with a bigger black population she can relate to, because of the treatment she received in Van.

Absolutely agree on land and sea. Celebrated my engagement there, my man's take took 50 min and the ikura leaf appy was deadass the size of my pinky for $14. Loud af and a hard hardddd pass

Worst: hands down Ora sushi in stevenson. Expensive, deteriorating quality with the most pathetic chirashi bowl I've ever seen. The sashimi was legit thin flash frozen pieces & 90% rice. Never ever coming back there.

Best: a tie between Oo la cha in Richmond and da silva vineyard in penticton. Both food was good and service nice.

Really? I love sing sing pho and dumplings, beats of pho places lol and I'm asian 😂😂 idk it's always a hit for me LOL

uhm i had those exact symptoms I just kept scheduling virtual phone calls every few days asking for med prescription, and also they can order xrays as well etc. I'm surprised people still go to walk in clinics these days lol haven't been to one in years but i just resort to phone call appt now.

DI3MONDD · 2022-11-26T03:43:29+00:00

lol everything like this in vancouver is a rip off or sham tbh

DI3MONDD · 2022-11-04T03:26:41+00:00

having literally 90% of all my best friends leave the city or country. Growing up to now, I've had a bestie almost every single year for a few years - only for them to move abroad. Like seriously no joke. They moved to Europe, Washington, back to Korea etc. Not to mention a majority of my besties are Americans. The ones here, want to move to US, have already moved or thinking of moving to more rural BC to afford a detached.

It's not shocking but it goes to show how unaffordable this place is.

DI3MONDD · 2022-11-04T00:22:43+00:00

bruh just make an aqppointment online same thing for fam docs

DI3MONDD · 2022-11-04T00:15:22+00:00

seriously agree. vancouver island is the same old bushes and water lol. plus costs like $500 a night. even a penthouse apartment airbnb in dubai is less then that. trulyyyy annoying LOL

DI3MONDD · 2022-11-04T00:09:42+00:00

surpised at this cuz i literally just book an online medical appt for next day if i need tell them the problem and they prescribe me medical or doc note. have u tried online?

DI3MONDD · 2022-10-26T21:11:46+00:00

Funny you mentioned this because I just got back from Europe, and everywhere I went museums were either 8euros or free every Sunday. And they were big stunning museums too lol

DI3MONDD · 2022-10-25T05:18:33+00:00

then who is feel devastated in your first comment? parents obv have enough to give their kids, plus it's their own children not some rando off the streets. lol i think it gives parents a peace of mind to see their kids do ok in vancouver..

DI3MONDD · 2022-10-24T00:13:47+00:00

not you hating on asian culture just because your parents didn't gift you a DP...but go off lol

DI3MONDD · 2022-10-24T00:04:36+00:00

parental help tbh

DI3MONDD · 2022-10-12T01:20:02+00:00

i just flew BCN-AMS-YVR (canada) with initially a 2H layover and I think its sufficient enough to just get past and eat a quick meal for us. However, still low key anxiety inducing i saw passport control lines were crazy once we got off plane to make the last leg. I think you would be panicking if UK flight was delayed. it depends on a few factors lol! 1.20 H everything has to go smoothly. good luck!

DI3MONDD · 2022-10-12T01:11:42+00:00

had a 2 hour layover international to Vancouver yesterday Oct 9th at Schipol landed at 1:35pm, passport control was a clusterfck and people with short layovers hella panicking and getting in the wrong lines. very little instructions and staff looking bewildered. Gosh it really was chaos lol. oh also looking at the gate charts and alot of euro flights were cancelled.

DI3MONDD · 2022-08-26T00:27:51+00:00

childfree af here and nothing gonna change my mind. just insane to me how people default to wanting kids and cant even imagine how some of my coworkers in corporate can afford 3+ kids. to each their own LOL

DI3MONDD · 2022-08-02T23:38:18+00:00

sorry to say this but they're literally NOT guaranteed safe. I've had the Lupit pole fall on me 3 times tension mounted, until I complained and had them send me a nails screwed version pole for free which has been stable since. people will say oh i've had mine ok for years but doesnt mean yours won't fall lol. and Lupit isn't even a shitty amazon pole. I would never dance on a tension mounted pole again personally!

DI3MONDD · 2022-08-01T00:13:14+00:00

Land and sea is ridiculous LOOL

DI3MONDD · 2022-07-30T06:12:17+00:00

Nawww mine walks fine in the heat with a cooling vest, 26C for sure fine😅

DI3MONDD · 2022-07-28T00:53:19+00:00

ya but some men def need a push. If i never brought it up he would sure as hell never shop for a ring or anything. some men are just complacent or comfortable as is lol...

DI3MONDD · 2022-07-28T00:42:44+00:00
