【加拿大】UBC大學環境 單房宿舍竟然咁闊落 住UBC有冇得諗｜Student Apartment｜Rain or Shine｜4K

 

今集介紹吓UBC嘅Single Room Apartment

原來學生都可以住咁大嘅單位！

唔住Richmond Burnaby 租住UBC freehold and leasehold condo又有冇得諗呢

段片係冇研究嘅🤣等你哋話我知

順便都剪埋幾段塵封年半嘅初踏UBC片段

即刻去睇睇學生宿舍嘅環境

最後感謝朋友借出單位拍攝🫡

 

A mix of UBC footage with intro to student single room apartment are included in this video.

There are lots of freehold and leasehold condo around UBC. Would it be nice to rent one instead of common Richmond/Burnaby areas?

Let’s check the out the student apartment.

Thanks to my friend for allowing video shooting.

【加拿大】終於買到車啦 I got a car in Canada｜Toyota｜LE Hybrid AWD｜Dealership｜4K

 

Toyota新車出爐🚙🚙人生第一架車 亦係咁多年用最多錢嘅一次

原本預計等十個月嘅車 唔夠三個月就到咗

開心就開心嘅 但緊張整花撞爛 多過興奮嘅感覺

兼完全錯晒Timing 工又未有 又就快乾塘

唔理了 享受吓有車嘅自由先啦

今集講吓價錢 買車流程 對比其他車廠慳油程度 揸車一星期感受等等

保險都貴得離譜 相關片段剪走咗冇講到 有時間再補番

 

New Toyota🚙🚙 First ever vehicle and huge spending in my life

Expected arrival date was 10 months but it arrived in less than 3 months

Feeling nervous more than all other excitement and happiness

Wrong timing for purchasing a car but I appreciate and treasure it

Whatever just enjoy the freedom

This episode covers the pricing, procedure, efficiency against other make, review, etc

Insurance cost simply kills me but relevant vlog is not included here

Nanaimo BC Volunteer Farmer 卑詩省納奈莫市 務農體驗

 https://dnlmdirectory.com/view_post/8a3f63c9-8bce-4901-b155-d1e3aeb3db1c/HK

最近逢星期五都去咗Nanaimo Foodshare農場做義工👨‍🌾

搭6號巴士幾分鐘就到 屋企行過去都好快15分鐘

Nanaimo農場都幾多 多數係南邊 但就唔會隨便俾你入

Foodshare就幾Friendly 見到佢有搵義工就打電話去講聲聽朝到 搞掂
顧名思義農場就係Share Food 有Food Box賣 有好多Youth Senior Community Program 個網站做得都幾簡潔清晰

時間係星期五10點開始 調理農務到1-2點 中間休息食條蕉咁

冇規定你幾時到 幾時走 幾時抖 好自由

農場面積唔算超級大 但一小塊/一小行田都夠你忙㗎啦

 

農場主人同一兩個Helpers就通常要帶住條Youth Team 目測20歲左右

所以唔會點得閒逐樣講 但你問就會解釋得幾詳盡

主要工作就係除雜草 Weeding 一個鏟一對手套就得 加頂帽仲好

帶手套帶手套帶手套 很重要所以講三次

第一次去徒手 結果洗到手爛 指甲黑邊都係清唔晒 潔癖表示接受唔到

另外手套防植物尖刺 防蜜蜂針 都好緊要

咁佢間中都會問我做成點 叫我記得抖下飲水 然後就會問想唔想轉吓Task

其他農務有綁蕃茄(好多兼好重會墜晒係地下) 修剪枝節 收成

綁蕃茄都唔易 十個廿個嘅枝節堆埋一齊都幾頭痕 但疏理完綁好非常有成功感😂

收成就當然最輕鬆最開心

有時做做吓就會講吓品種 開試食大會

本身都冇預有咩回報 唔係點叫義工

但佢每次都堅持送啲嘢俾我 送過美洲南瓜 荷蘭芹

有送蕃茄 不過我見產量未係咁多就留番俾有需要嘅人

對上一次就膽粗粗問佢拎種子 結果俾咗蘿蔔再加生菜種子

依家係花園試種緊 希望十月收成啦

 

識我嘅知我又自私又懶 義工呢味嘢唔存在喺我腦海

要幫Minority應該係政府商家呃錢NGO去做 唔應該平民頭痛醫頭咁幫

當然 上述3個Entities多數各有目的 邊會理得你啲星斗市民

義工香港可能做過一兩次咁大把 仲要係為咗AYP儲鐘

咁點解我會去呢

一來搵唔到Part Time做

二來廢咗成個暑假 想搵吓野搞

三來有啲Local Experience

講咁多理由 其實都對我冇乜推動力

最尾都係為咗貢獻吓加拿大社會 (雖然學費生活費都已經貢獻好多俾加拿大🤪)

始終PR Policy已經係Free Ride番黎 犧牲得太多人

再係度做廢人都過唔到自己 試吓新野都好嘅

漏咗講 其實我加拿大第二個Offer就係Halifax Agriculture Diploma

可惜太遲先有Offer 呢邊已經俾晒第一學期學費

 

Anyway 有興趣務農都可以聯絡你地區嘅農場 親子去就最適合

 

I have been volunteering at Nanaimo Foodshare every Friday since August.

It is close to downtown with 5-minute bus no.6.

There are plenty of farms in Nanaimo, mostly in the South, but Nanaimo Foodshare is one of the friendliest farms which allow you to participate.

It offers food boxes, youth, senior and community programs to Nanaimo and cities in Vancouver Island. Its website is quite neat too.

Volunteers are welcome from 10 to 2 on Friday. You are free to arrive, leave and rest at any moment above.

 

The owner and helpers often take care of a youth team, so you are on your own at most time. However, they always provide detailed explanation to your questions, and enquire about your working condition.

The main task is weeding with shovel and a pair of gloves, best with a hat too.

The importance of glove cannot be overemphasized due to the hygiene and safety.

The owner usually asks if I would like to switch tasks from weeding. Tying tomatoes, deadheading and harvesting are the most common other tasks. It’s not easy to tie tomato branches but the sense of accomplishment is wonderful after the job. Without doubt harvesting is always the delighting task.

Sometimes they explain the variety of different plants, and offer everyone to taste during work.

Return is not expected from volunteering, but the owner always offers fresh ingredients to me. She gave me zucchini, parsley, (cherry tomatoes), and most importantly seeds for radish and lettuce. I grow them in my yard now, foreseeing outcome in October.

 

Anyway, if you are interested in agriculture or new experience, don’t hesitate to call your nearest farm to participate. Kids would definitely love that too.

Nanaimo BC 卑詩省納奈莫市

https://dnlmdirectory.com/view_post/ab8cc642-b45f-4981-9197-92cca1ffaebf/HK

## 城市地理

納奈莫Nanaimo係溫哥華島其中一個城市

距離大家最熟悉嘅Victoria大概個半鐘車程

由Nanaimo 2個碼頭Departure Bay/Duke Point出發

搭BC Ferry船去溫哥華市另外2個碼頭 2個鐘內就到啦 單程19蚊左右

2023年8月就再新增高速船航線 溫哥華市中心就搭得 索價40-60蚊 仲有頭等位

其他地理位置可參考 [呢篇文章{Click Me}](https://www.dnlmdirectory.com/view_post/6b9a4161-000d-47bf-9473-f55a02482d63/ENG)

人口只有約10萬 應該仲少過單計Richmond嘅一半 但都會區計已經係卑詩省第五位

## 氣候

同溫哥華相似 根據我過往一年嘅經歷 其實比溫哥華更加冬暖夏涼

雪再落得少啲 上年大概有2-3場大雪 其中一場係幾嚴峻 停咗個幾鐘電 都算係維修得好快 唔洗冇暖氣捱過-10度嘅夜晚

上年凌晨最凍試過-15咁上下 但其實你都開緊暖氣瞓緊 唔會太感覺到

冬天就多數係0度附近遊走 凍啲嘅-1至-10度可能係半個月時間

冬天比多倫多同卡加里好幾萬倍㗎啦 都唔好講我連羽絨都冇開過出黎著

 

## 娛樂

納奈莫幾乎係零娛樂 但加拿大普遍都咁上下 只係納奈莫可以去嘅地方更加少

放心基本嘅戲院都有嘅2間大嘅

最值得逗留嘅地方就係**Old City Quarter**

建築非常Colorful  係入面行得非常舒服 舖頭就都係唔多 算係個城市最靚嘅建築群㗎啦

然後最主要就係郊遊 同接駁南行北行去其他城市

近民居就係去**Neck Point** / **Westwood Lake** / **Ammonite Falls**

行山就可以上**Mount Benson** 建議有經驗先好上山

離島就坐船仔去**Newcastle Island** / 大船去**Gabriola Island**

有車嘅話全部都好易去 船亦好易搭

巴士就好疏落 除咗閒閒哋20-60分鐘一班 有啲位置根本去唔到 但就番時間行出去等都好準時

順便講埋 巴士每程2.5  Day Pass 5蚊  對比番溫哥華Day Pass係11.25

呢度都有月票嘅 65蚊 學生Semester Bus Pass 170蚊4個月

注意番只限Nanaimo巴士線 溫哥華島各城市嘅巴士飛係不互通㗎

向北行可以去**Parksville** / **Courtenay** / **Campbell River**

滑雪可以去**Arrowsmith Mountain Resort** / **Mount Washington Skiing Alpine Resort** 個零鐘車程

向南行有**Ladysmith** / **Duncan** / **Victoria** 仲有個大島叫鹽泉島**Salt Spring Island**

近Nanaimo Airport有個**Wildplay**場 可以係樹林飛黎飛去 Victoria都有一個

 

## 生活圈

我生活圈就係3個範圍

### 一、 Vancouver Island University (VIU)

呢間大學排名就真係普普通通 勝在易入(好似係) 國際生收費直頭搶錢 年年加5% 學生會反對抗議都冇用

坐擁山景 一望出去就係市中心同海峽

有興趣認識VIU再睇吓條片

 

### 二、 Downtown

Downtown個商場就頹到不得了 得十幾間舖 加一間賭場

但交通同日常生活算係方便嘅

係正附近嘅銀行就有CIBC同TD

Homeless之前都頗多 年頭應該整頓過 所以已經少咗好多Homeless

附近有間Pharmacy 外面就疑似有堆道友 但行落黎都有一段距離 都唔洗太擔心

Downtown勉強可以加埋行上少少嘅**Commercial Street** 呢度有埋RBC同Scotiabank 多啲食肆同藝術氣息

暑假逢星期四仲有Night Market添 係我見過最熱鬧最多人嘅日子嚟既

呢條街仲有**Vancouver Island Regional Library** 唔算好大但好多語言嘅書籍都有 樓上仲有Switch同3D Printing玩添

另外都有Chinatown 但細到我唔知除咗個入口之外邊度先係 塊牌就寫咗當年有越洋過海黎Nanaimo幫手嘅事跡

行出碼頭都好舒服 跑步踩單車水上飛機出海睇鯨魚

**Service Canada**就係附近 果陣9月頭去人都幾少下 但處理速度都真係慢

 

### 三、 Woodgrove商場

Woodgrove就係主要嘅大商場 Nanaimo其他商場都係接近死場 呢個算長期有人流

裡面有Walmart 附近有Superstore同Costco

大部份生活所需都係呢頭買 ICBC考車牌都係附近

亞洲食品主要有兩間 一間大陸人開 唔考慮

另一間係Downtown附近 叫ManLee 日韓港泰都有 款式都多 但係非常非常貴 我唔捨得買放棄咗 去番Superstore買出前一丁同蠔油都夠用

再多間就係Fairway 但我都係接受唔到啲價錢

另外都俾我搵到間Sabzi Mandi印度超市 主要買佢啲食材配料 包裝食品就不了

 

## 住屋

同溫哥華一樣都係升咗一截 但我諗In general平幾乎一半

呢度多數係House同Apartment  60-70萬就有千幾二千呎

要平都有嘅30-40萬都見過

租樓又點呢 一兩個人大概係1600-1900  600-800呎

去到最平1200單人300-400呎都有

夾租就最抵600-900都會搵到 望番溫哥華普遍夾租都要千千聲

 

## 工作機會

最後講吓對StreamB最重要嘅工作機會

認真講工作機會都真係少 請Admin / Receptionist就最多

頭半年都見到超市餐廳貼Poster請人 近排真係冇晒 超市都叫我自己上網填表

VIU啲工就最好Pay 當然佢請唔請你就另一回事

Port Theatre都周不時請人 有藝術背景不妨留意吓

Nanaimo定期都有BC Job Fair 入去望過吓都有唔同工種可以做 當然都係服務業居多 Virtual Job Fair會有番啲Tech Job  多數Office工都要游水過番溫哥華啦

初黎報到想要係溫哥華島生活 我諗Victoria搵工會正路啲

想遠離煩囂 簡單番份工 退休 Nanaimo都依然係一個可以選擇嘅地方

Big congratz to the extended coverage of updated Stream B policy for Hongkongers!
Apart from the most popular cities Vancouver and Toronto, there are actually more living places to choose from if you decide to come to Canada. There have been a lot of sharing from Hongkongers living in Halifax, Victoria, Calgary, etc. I would also like to share the life in Nanaimo, a harbour city in Vancouver Island, with you. Let’s figure out if you are suitable for a causal life in a city with limited entertainment😉.
