depending on your expectations: we do have some local LYKers who regularly hangs out (informally), and would like to welcome you in open arms during your work/holiday stay in Vncvr.
Folks still around like Rk, Derek128, yours-truely, acc-che, etc.
welcome to the westcoast, this is the breeding ground for creativity. in asia, i find to be quite confined by family and social structures to have any creative thoughts and innovations. u must try the psychedelic experiences here, it is quite amazing.
