Funny thing, about 8 years ago, I offered my wife a chance to move to Markham. They were selling homes - brand new - for $400,000. Not huge homes, but nice ones. Today, those homes are probably worth about $850,000. I told my wife we could sell our home in Kitchener, buy the home in Markham and have about a $250,000 mortgage, plus a great home in a great city.
She, of course, balked at the idea and put the breaks on it. But now, all she talks about is how she wants to move to Markham but doesn't want to pay the big money for the houses in that area.
I actually love Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, Guelph area. Very safe, good economy, affordable homes, great quality of life. But, the problem is the Asian women out this way. We get all the '1st Asian girlfriend' types, none of the hot ones that Toronto has.
Definition of 1st Asian Girlfriend - the Asian girlfriend of a nice white guy. The girl is rather ugly and frumpy-looking, but to the inexperienced white guy, she is his exotic, sexy girlfriend that he is proud to call his lady.
When I was 13, I had my first Asian Girlfriend. She was so fucking ugly, but I didn't know any better - she was my 1st Asian Girlfriend (1AG). Later on, when my friends and I saw a white guy with an ugly Chinese girl, we just labeled the situation a 'one A G' and laughed it off.
