40. Where do your parents live?...

You mention the rain forest where they collect rain water and eat local foods. That's something of a fantasy of my own. Where to they live?!

The multicultural landscape is quite different in Canada. We don't have the strong Mexican influence nor do we have a large African American population. Instead we have a large Asian immigrant population. Vancouver's population is around 20% to 30% south and south eastern Asian. There is also a large Indian and Iranian population here.

Crime is certainly a problem here but it's not at the same level as it is in the states. Here to though there is something of a negative stereotype surrounding crime and certain racial groups. Most of the drug trade is split between white gangs and Asian gangs here. The Asian component is somewhat evenly split between South East Asian, Vietnamese etc, gangs and Seikh gangs. Like there most of the shooting is between themselves. Random violence isn't a big issue on the whole.
