How To Be A Vancouverite

A few weeks ago, a YouTube video was released by IFHT entitled “How To Be A Vancouverite.” The video is pretty spot-on and hilarious. After living in and experiencing much of the city and its people  for the past eight months, here’s a longer list of my version on…

HOW TO BE A VANCOUVERITE:

• Have a smoothie for breakfast
• Invest in a bicycle
• Ride said investment to work
• Hell, ride it everywhere
• Practice yoga
• Talk about how much yoga you do
• Bonus points for hot yoga
• Invest in an umbrella
• Don’t use your umbrella ’cause jeez, no REAL Vancouverite needs an umbrella
• Eat a lot of kale
• Bonus points if you put kale in your smoothie
• Lead a healthy lifestyle
• Incorporate “Meatless Mondays” into your Healthy Lifestyle
• Bonus points if you go completely vegetarian
• Extraextra bonus points for vegan
• Indulge in the cafe culture
• Go to every craft brewery in the city, and out of the city
• Bonus points for brining up your favourite beer at every opportunity
• Extraextra bonus points if you brew your own beer

These are just a few observations I’ve had over the past few months. Does your Canadian city have any cliche things that people do?
