Looking at Canada, or elsewhere
I've just realized that a lot of Canada has street views in Googlemaps, and I thought it would be interesting for people to see some views. I never said it couldn't be lovely! In fact I have said we might go back.
Victoria. A nice spot on the sea, but not that far from where we used to live. Probably million dollar homes, though.

Hmm, I can't get that to appear as a simple link. Any suggestions?
Anyone able to find pictures of where they were/are, or are/want to be?

Re: Looking at Canada, or elsewhere
We might go back?
Perhaps I should have put more modifiers on that! I mean, if we really found things didn't work out here for whatever reason, we would go back without a feeling of tragedy. We still don't think it was quite right for us, and so it's not something we're thinking of now.
Better?

But I think it could be useful for people planning to move anywhere. To get a clearer look at areas, houses, etc.

Re: Looking at Canada, or elsewhere
The internet is so useful yet so unhelpful at the same time. Years ago, back in the UK meant back in the UK, with the occasional photo of Can/Aus/NZ posted through the mail from friends. Now we can drive round on Streetview constantly reminded of what it looks like, and that has a weird effect on people. I'm guilty myself, looking at old streets in LA I used to know, etc.
