Things I miss about Vancouver part 1

I've been here long enough and written enough good things about Toronto that I can mention some things I miss without sounding whiny and homesick. Other than Bitter, of course, who I miss a lot, I miss:

• my friends
  
• my condo
• my BBQ - man, I've grown to rely on that thing
  
• walking around the West End
• the mountains - good lord, where are the fucking mountains?
• the ocean
• cooking - cooking requires the proper tools and should be done with music, wine and a companion
