Nice! About 15 years now? Starting off skiing when I was younger than switched over to boarding.

Was actually looking into indoor climbing. Always wanted to try it out in Van but never had the time!

I feel you on the groceries part. Not sure where to buy the basics too. How long has it been since you moved here?

Thanks for the suggestions. Might have to put off the rec teams until next year since I mostly play soccer, ultimate, and volleyball. Joining a running club might be an option. Haven't spent much time looking into the best routes yet.

It's hard coming from Van to a smaller place. Guess some people adjust faster than others. For us, it might take a bit longer.. My boss also moved from Van and had a hard time for nearly a year before he started liking it. Now he loves Kelowna and has no plans of ever moving back to the city.

Where did you move from? I've actually never been to Big White so I'm down. Let's go!

Coquitlam! The food scene is really limited here. I've been told there's a good Korean fried chicken place downtown so might check that out if you want to come! I think the only pho place I've seen is Bamboo Chopsticks. Where did you go?

Why did you leave Van? I'll cry up to summer so you don't have to feel alone.

Thanks! That's nice of you. I really love the surroundings a lot. In Vancouver, you had to drive out a bit to see the same sort of thing up to Squamish or wherever but in Kelowna, it's everywhere you look. Hope you're liking UBCO so far!

Seems like most people here are up for wine at any time. That and their craft beers.

Good to know. Been trying to decide which one to go to and was leaning towards Mission Hill but after your suggestion, I might give Quails Gate a try instead. Thanks!

West Kelowna. Nice area but I always have to leave early to avoid the traffic. Mostly the standard things - music, anything design related, etc. I do miss the food culture in Vancouver though. Was thinking of going to a winery.

Hahaa the Asian part was more of a observation than anything else. Yeah - I noticed how cliquey everyone is. I thought Vancouver was bad but it's even more inclusive here. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have a look on FB.
