It's a tough town. I moved here after elementary school, and it's the most cliquey place i've ever lived. The old money locals here are some of the worst human beings i have ever met. Entitled, NIMBY, hypocritical, sociopathic and straight up evil...and they can't drive worth shit either.
Victoria has some really dark clouds hanging over it...you can feel it when you drive through the Uplands. Old, dark money hides here. These people took what they have, and have no respect for what they have. They think they're beautiful people, because they live in a beautiful place.
But, Victoria is a beautiful place, and there are beautiful people here too. It's gotten a lot more multicultural lately, and the new Victorians are the best Victorians. There are things happening too.
SkaFest is a bunch of good people. That's coming up...you should check that out.
My gf moved here less than a year ago from mainland and she can't believe how strange and different people are on the island compared. There's also that weird group of people who never seem to leave victoria and they have such an incredibly narrow minded view of everything. My manager at work was born in victoria and the furthest place he's been on the island is point no point. Wtf.
