    I love Saskatchewan cities. They're just so clean and peaceful and the architecture is very nice. I'm from BC and Vancouver is beautiful, but is so dirty in comparison. It suffers from a big homelessness and drug addiction population.I just don't know if I could ever leave behind the incredible mountains we have for hiking and biking etc.

    There are a number of live-music venues but I don’t know a lot about it. Bushwakker Brew Pub, for instance, has regular live music by local groups, with jazz and blues on Mondays and folk on Wednesdays. Not sure if our local Legion is still lively enough for live music on a regular basis…

    My friend was surprised when he heard about this place, having never studied Latin in school he thought it was a made up word and absolutely insisted on pronouncing the last sequence of syllables in the word "regina" the way the word "gin" -the drink- is pronounced. ReGINa. He realized his mistake only after playing the pronunciation for him. We laughed for days.

    @@EdwardWillett cheers, tbh, I’m coming from a completely different situation, in comparison to USA I live on an island 😂 called England, I grew up in London but live in an area called Southend in Essex, the reason I’ve been looking at these videos is, I’ve potentially got a job offer on the horizon with a start date in March next year, but it means moving, which for me is quite a scary thing to do, leaving everything I’ve known and what I’m comfortable with behind, to go to a place as a stranger and no idea if I’ll even like it, although the residential area of Wascana looks a bit more appealing, but still wanna be within reasonable distance to the town, as for population and being crowded, I moved away from London cos of all that, but to have some population and things to do just makes it a bit more appealing, so I’m trying to do research, which ain’t that easy, cos sometimes you never really know until you’re there, and that’s a big gamble
