in the future, vancouver, british columbia may very well be known far and wide as the home of flickr and even if the whole world doesn’t know that fun fact just quite yet, christine sends a card from a place that a lot of people like a lot for a lot of good reasons. and i doth quote from the wikipedia entry on vancouver:

“Vancouver ranked second (2002, 2003) and third (2004) in a worldwide quality of life survey of 215 cities, conducted by Mercer Human Resource Consulting (http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/03/03/cities030303). Vancouver consistently ranks in the top 5 in most worldwide rankings. Vancouver is almost always ranked number #1 when compared to its Canadian and American peers. Vancouver has tied for first with the cities of Salzburg and Oslo among the UN chosen cities for highest living standards the last 4 years running.”
