and you live in vancouver?

not surprising at all. those really rich they throw away money like that over there. here we also see the same. they throw cash to buy houses (read, plural form) like it's nothing.

well, like i said. in some way that's good. it's money tying down back to the city

 

The cop pull you over just to write you a ticket and say you can't drive away in your car because it is being impounded. You are free to leave as soon as the cop hand you a ticket, which takes 10 minutes. Those folks in those pics looks like they are hanging around to wait for the tow truck to tow their cars away.

Yeah I saw a TV special before how the local Canadians are complaining about how the Asians drive up the real estate prices so they can't afford it anymore. They also complain how most Asians kids get handed a brand new luxury car when they turn 18 and they have to work their *** off just to buy a used economy car.

 

Thank you, that's how I cope with being borned from a poor family

 

that's why i can only afford to drive a GS450h!

 

Here is some info on the B.C / Vancouver home prices (median in Canadian $)
B.C - $540,877 (July 2011) up by almost 10% from the year before.
Vancouver - $761,673 (July 2011) up by almost 16% from the year before.
National - $361,181 (July 2011) up by almost 9% from the year before. Canada's median home price is about double of what the US median home price is currently.

Thing is some people are expecting home prices to drop about 21-25% in Vancouver, but who knows really.

 

minor correction possible, but 21-25% correction not likely. as long as rich immigrants are encouraged to move to canada, housing prices not likely to fall dramatically. but of course, it all depends on which city, province we are talking about (like vancouver for example).

 

The parents aren't too smart. While some can compare our mature societies to areas of famine, these parents will (or, on second thought, maybe not) learn that giving risk-seekers any tool of power is asking for trouble. If they're lucky, the kids survive and just have some trouble with the police.

Even then, you're setting yourself up for a big argument. Your kids think they deserve XYZ, while you and everyone else thinks the kid takes privileges for granted. If you don't give the kids those tools for Christmas and instead make them work for their privileges, this wouldn't happen.

I had [weekend] access to a new car with a 190-hp V6 when I was in high school. Looking back at all the risks I took with it, 190 was already too much.

 

Ahhh... children of corrupt Chinese officials

 

I have a real estate friend in Vancouver that just showed a mainland family some houses. The man made an offer on 8 houses out of the ones he saw...

Or the other stories about mainland Chinese people trying to one up each other in the Vancouver west end by buying the biggest or most expensive house.

Or the one where the real estate agent was made to hire a helicopter to ferry the Chinese family to each of the houses they wanted to see.

It's crazy up here in Vancouver.

 

Just to comment.

There are a lot of poor people here in Metro Manila and that is a fact. However, there are different kinds of poor people. There are the ones whom you can sympathize with (i.e. those who earn less than a dollar a day) or those that you should stay away (i.e. the Tondo icepick gangs and those kids sniffing rugby and intoxicating chemicals all day )

The problem of poverty in my country comes from all fronts though (i.e. no one single factor).

 

the Bank of Daddy, where do I sign up?

 

Yes, I agree with you there. It's much the same way here. You have poor people in the states(relative) who deserve help. Then there are those who deserve nothing more than an ***-whooping because they're lazy and useless.

Those rugby sniffing kids are crazy by the way. They tried to light our house on fire one night in Tubao, La Union

 

Spoiled brats

 

Isn't rugby a sport?
