What is the best part about the West/East coast?
What draws you to those areas?

For me...speaking in terms of Canada. I love the East coast Culture. You can really feel the history and the manners were great in the big cities..small towns not so much. I liked the sense of humour...very bouyant and Monty Pythonesque.

I love the West Coast for its natural beauty and mystic feel. The Pacific feels like such an untamed frontier if you sail around it enough. The artistic aptitude of the people is amazing and so is the experimental mindset. Plus, the Humour in Vancouver is SO dry and sarcastic with undertones of silliness...you can't not love it.

1. East Coast
It's the only place you can get a decent slice of pizza (no disrespect Chicagoans, I'm including you on this, your pizza is good).

No, Papa Shit's and Domi-hell-no's do not constitute decent pizza.

8. Yes it is, but it is connected to the Atlantic Ocean via water
So I guess it can count in that way

4. Can you describe that?
As a person who grew up able to hork into the Pacific, I find no matter how happy I am... if there's no ocean I'm missing something. Salty sea air..the sound of a Freighter Horn waking me up... all that.
