Vancouver is the third biggest city in Canada. It's in the south west of the country and it has a population of 2.6million. A recent study showed that it's the best city in theworld to live. The study looked at areas like weather, transport, education, healthcare, and safety. This studyhappens every year and Vancouver is usually number one.We asked Vancouver resident Jacob Meyers if he agrees.I've lived in Vancouver all my life. I work for an engineeringcompany and I've travelled on business to many Canadiancities. Two years ago another company offered me a verygood job in Montreal but I didn't take it because I never wantto leave my city. Let me tell you why not:Vancouver is situated between the mountains and thePacific Ocean. That means the summers aren't too hot andthe winters aren't too cold. It also rains a lot, in summer andwinter. Some people don't like that but I do because ourgardens and parks are always green and fresh. Every day!cycle or walk for an hour in a park and in Vancouver you'renever more than a few minutes from one.I don't feel frightened whenlwalk in Vancouver's streets atnight. Of course, Vancouver has a high population andthere's crime in every big city, but compared to the USA, forexample, it's quite safe.But my favourite thing about Vancouver is its incredible mixof nationalities. I've got friends here from all over the world.And there's an enormous variety of foreign food in therestaurants and markets. I've eaten wonderful dishes fromChina, India, Italy, Greece, and Japan and I haven't been toany of these places.​
