If Clinton ever sees this.. I used to go to your store all the time as a kid. My name is Clay and I went with my grandma all the time, I really miss your shop man. Always had great vibes there.
Moved here last summer from Vancouver and LOVING it. An outdoorsman's paradise, historic REAL downtown (not fake like Gastown) and the people have the aloha spirit! Oh, and English is widely spoken.
I was born and raisedin Vancouver. Have lived in Alberta for 20 years now. We are moving to Nanaimo and buying a house by Departure Bay! I am thrilled! Don't get me wrong, Alberta is a beautiful province with some of the nicest people I have ever met. Winters are brutal though. We can't wait to move!
Hello ,would be possible to get in touch with you ,my husband and i would love to get to know people from nanaimo as we want to leave vancouver ,thank you and hope to get in touch!
English is widely spoken? lol.
So Bilingualism hasn't hit your area yet, thank God for that... That means you can advance in your work without having the language police making sure you pronounce your words just right... ( make sure to never let it happen there ). It looks like a nice place, I do LOVE the outdoors.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH i read that and was like ??? and?
Nanaimo is amazing
So much knowledge sharing is important
Make a Nanaimo video in December 2020. Thanks for sharing
I adore Nanaimo bcuz I used to live there but now I live in Alberta and I really miss Nanaimo
I love Nanaimo too, but like you, I just might move to Alberta
@@FranklyTheyCallMeFrankie Good riddance to bad rubbish. Yes I mean you dear. God bless you!
@@kayleewillems a fast question. I'm from spain and I'll travel to Vancouver in March 2020. Should I go to Nanaimo? Thank you!
@@carlogg6847 You should absolutely visit Nanaimo! We have a beautiful island, and lovely spots to visit. We also played a big part in WWII, which is great, and we have this thing called the Bastion, which is our little landmark. Being on Vancouver Island, we have great little oceans, and beautiful walk places, like Pipers Lagoon and Neck Point. It would be great if you could visit us Nanaimoinians!
@@lancedukel3436 Thank you!
When Regina showed up, I thought I'm watching a documentary about northern Germany for a second :D as a German physiotherapist I had the luck to learn one thing or two about hippotherapy from other physio- and occupational therapists and I'm positively convinced that it can have an huge impact on a persons life. Wishing Regina and her team all the best from Germany and let me know, if you need a helping hand :P
i the opening shot with logo is not nanaimo? how is that possible at 16 sec?
Newcastle Island is fantastic. we went to the Snuneymuxw aboriginal cultural day last year and really enjoyed the day!
I was born here and absolutely love it, closest you will get to SUB-tropical weather in Canada. Unfortunately now I live in Alberta which seems like the coldest haha.
Would you ever move back? I’ve been born and raised in Alberta and I’m hoping to move to Nanaimo next fall(2023)! Hopefully it’s not true that people moving there from other provinces and countries isn’t why BC is more expensive than most!
Where's the behind the curtain section at the video store?
You know this dude's got one lol.
I love giving good bjs, is there a curtain?
I love going there, I just don't go there often.
Howcome right when you announce "Nanaimo" you have a shot of Sechelt?
im maybe going there next year for an exchange year im not the biggest fan of nature but is it good there what are the specials?
samee
I might move there after some months
They finally renamed the island to its historic name! Saysutshun! Wooo!
I'm sure there is a lot more points of interests than an island and some old video store. What about the cost of living, grocery stores in the area, airport, and transit? I feel this video basically missed this town.
Cheaper than Vancouver, they have enough stores to be a wasteful consumer, they have a functioning airport, better have a car.
If you live in Nanaimo, what do you guys do for a lving? Are there any businesses hiring people other than Walmart?
How much time it takes to travel from nanaimo to vancouver
Couple hours by ferry
Young Player 2h by boat and 20min plane ride
A full day by kayak, 100 mins by ferry, 15-20 mins by plane or Helijet.
I don't understand the comments, everywhere in bc is a drug town. Vancouver being the hot spot.
One day
Day one
Nanaimo really needs to clean up it's Homeless problem and get rid of the shitbags downtown they are ruining everything along with Nanaimo's reputation. Not many of them aren't even from Nanaimo.
So true
What do you propose? Tackle them and incarcerate them for loitering? Lure them out of town with a carrot on a stick? There are homeless people in every city now, thanks to drugs.
Have to agree with the comments; it was quite disappointing as a tourist.
I agree. their beach had too much water.
@@00repz00 bruh
@@00repz00 What the actual hell dude
@@00repz00 I live here and we do not have too much water
@@stacey3145 I disagree. The water is too wet.
Like si vienes cuando viste que acá vivió fernanflooo
Auto like para no desaparecer

Don't know what homeless people you see, must not be the ones breaking into homes or are setting buildings on fire
Hey is it good there I applied for Vancouver island university and now I am little afraid if the place is good enough
@@thedementedgirl1993 yea van island university is pretty fine nice building good professors
The place is beautiful, not the video
Very rude drivers.
Ha ha! I guess you've never driven in Calgary or Vancouver. Driving is so relaxed in Nanaimo by comparison.
This is bs get real natives
There's literally nowhere to eat here
Figuratively
Ok Sean.
nanaimo bars
😂
You literally don't know what literally means.
oh no why was Luke vaccinated :( Now he suffers from the symptoms of having government poison in you, such as growing old and not getting measles.
No thanks too many Eskimo’s
Nanaimo is Canada’s homeless and drug capital of the country in my books. Terrible visit!
Ya tent city! Nanaimo police won’t do anything guys it’s a hick town on the water with what 5 registered officers 😂😂 they won’t smog them out or anything. If you want to visit Canada from a different country Nanaimo is a HARD miss! Steer clear of Nanaimo guys! My 7 year old daughter found used needles in the malls women’s washroom... and it’s the only mall in town 😱 Gob smacked you guys! Stay safe be cautious if you’re in Nanaimo
Haven’t seen a town this run down and rough since driving through Tijuana, Mexico. This is Canada’s version of Tijuana. Only go through it if you absolutely must! Victoria and Vancouver are pretty nice though, Victoria does have some grubby’s about but nothing compared to Nanaimo. When we were driving out of Nanaimo southbound from what’s it... woodgroove mall? Saw a homeless man with dreads eating imaginary berries off of a tree that had nothing but leaves... Nanaimo... very disappointed. It’s no wonder the royals Kate and William didn’t come further west past Calgary after marriage, they must know the ways of the Pacific coast... very disturbing. 😂 had a good laugh at that invisible berry eating homeless guy though, it was quite entertaining and mind boggling.
Celtic Man better there than in alleys or snooping through garbage
Well, sir..! I've lived in Nanaimo ALL MY LIFE. The police are doing excellent job, and all this trash about the homeless?!?! GOD! Is it so wrong to ASK FOR BOTTLES?! And you decided to LAUGH. What an ass! I'm glad that was only, what, 1 MONTH?! If your going to insult a city that is working SO hard, then your just a straight up jerk. Oh, btw, the RCMP is doing the best they can. You thinks it's easy trying to keep track of homeless people and run everything else in Nanaimo? I think your post is garbage, and you were just there to hurt the city, then stay away from Nanaimo! I don't care that your baby girl found needles. Woodgrove mall is way larger then you think, and you need to fuck off if you think everything is trash about my city. Go back to America!
Kaylee Willems and sorry it’s hardly a city it’s just a town, cities have more than 1 Walmart just saying 😂
Ya like there are no drugs and homeless anywhere else you fucktard. These homeless aren't even from Nanaimo most were dumped here when tent city was going on and need to be sent back to where they came from!
@Highly Toxic White Nationalist says the white nationalist
Hate Nanaimo
