Where I live in Vancouver
(1) This is the planet Earth, a mostly harmless rocky body of gloop and stuff which formed about 4.54 billion years ago in the Milky Way galaxy. On its face you can see the continent of North America.

(2) The upper part of North America is called Canada. It differs from its southern neighbour in that its inhabitants generally aren’t grossly obese and don’t go around shooting each other.

(3) On the west coast of Canada is the province of British Columbia (with Alberta to its right). The city of Vancouver is located in the south-west of BC and is pretty close to the US border.

(4) The area of Metro Vancouver has a population of over 2 million.

(5) Downtown Vancouver is located on the peninsula sticking out into the Burrard Inlet with Stanley Park on the north end of it.

(6) The northwestern part of the downtown area is known as the West End. It’s a fantastic place to live. It has the feel of a suburban community but it’s a bustling, lively area where you’re only a few minutes walk from almost everything you need.

(7) My apartment is somewhere here.
