  • 枫下家园 / 生活杂事 / Friends at Vancouver: Please give me some advice on such areas as Burnaby, Surrey, North Delta, etc. - Chinese population, communication to downtown Vancouver, etc. -helen1(newcomer); 2001-9-18 {102} (#204719@0)
    I need to rent an apartment to send my boxes before I arrive at Vancouver
    myself. Thanks in advance.
    • 详细数字你得上政府去查了。我感觉，Burnaby华人多，Surrey是印度人的天下，North Delta目前还是西人占领。 -pmer(pmer); 2001-9-18 {147} (#204734@0)
      Burnabty去Downtown最方便，以后Skytrain新线通了，更快；Surrey过Fraser河了，远了些，北部有Skytrain；North Delta只好公车了，太偏僻了，没车最好别考虑。
      • 我也觉得burnaby不错. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-18 (#204737@0)
      • Thanks, pmer and kevin. Is it normal for a Chinese to live in Burnaby and study or work in Vancouver? -helen1(newcomer); 2001-9-18 {174} (#204752@0)
        All apartments requires an one-year lease, you know. I used to spend
        more than 3 hours everyday on the road in Toronto (funny?). I don't
        want to repeat the same mistake.
        • 算是正常吧。UBC(VAN最西端)和Burnaby之间很多Trans Link线路。以metrotown计，单程大约1个小时。可接受否？ -pmer(pmer); 2001-9-18 (#204755@0)
        • 你如果住在burnaby 的metrotown, 乘skytrain空中快车20多分钟到达vancouver downtown, 如果想我这样住在north burnaby, 乘bus 30分钟到达vancouver downtown. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-18 (#204758@0)
        • Thanks again. That sounds good. I will contact the apartment in Burnaby tomorrow. -helen1(newcomer); 2001-9-18 (#204767@0)
          • BTW, 住在vancouver 南边也不错, flying2u, judy3721, yes 都住那一带, 因为温哥华IT公司集中在两个地带: downtown 和 south richmond. 而vancouver 南边在这两个地方的中间, 是apartment 云集的地方. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-19 (#204771@0)
            • Thanks. But I did not find apartment information in that area. I checked aptrentals.com and there is not many choices in their vacancy list. -helen1(newcomer); 2001-9-19 {141} (#204786@0)
              Or would you please to recommend any other site? BTW, I am too far from being an IT professional at this time and am planning to study first.
              • kevin2000说的那个地方不错。剩下的只好往burnaby去了，VAN的房子太贵，RICHMOND又不太方便。 -pmer(pmer); 2001-9-19 (#204792@0)
            • 感觉上VAN西南边还是比BURNABY房租要贵。购物方便还是METROTOWN那里，FB大部队目前也在那里，主要是交通方便。不过VAN西的综合环境比BURNABY要好。 -flying2u(flying2u); 2001-9-19 {183} (#204897@0)
              再说，没有必要为头一个住所的LOCATION那么计较，谁不为学习，工作搬几次家呢？你能肯定将来如果读书肯定在SFU，如果工作肯定找在附近？安全，舒适，负担得起就可以了，就这三条，也不那么容易呢。
      • RICHMOND华人最多 -scorpio(scorpio); 2001-9-19 (#204790@0)
    • Another question: how about COQUITLAM? -helen1(newcomer); 2001-9-19 (#204812@0)
      • If you can drive, that's also ok(along the no.1 high way). otherwise, don't think about it. -kevin2000(流星雨); 2001-9-19 (#204819@0)
        • Thanks. So I won't consider it if I can get into Burnaby. The problem with driving is that maybe I cannot afford parking. -helen1(newcomer); 2001-9-19 (#204825@0)
          • 对啊，去downtown最挠头的就是parking。不过Skytrain修到Lougheed了，离高贵玲已经不远。 -pmer(pmer); 2001-9-19 (#204828@0)
        • 上下班时间的TRANS CANADA NO.1跟大停车场似的，走不得。 -pmer(pmer); 2001-9-19 (#204827@0)
      • 如果你在DOWNTOWN附近或者温西上学，别考虑，太远了。 -pmer(pmer); 2001-9-19 (#204822@0)
