i have a secret for you: us parents dont have that energy either! its mainly a mix of adrenaline, caffiene, winging it and figuring things out on the fly! Interesting regarding the culture shock, ive not been to canada but felt similar in restaurants in america.winter looks so cool in korea but cold! anyway heres to a big 2025 for you, hopefully not many van issues and many successes

Few things. Me and my wife got engaged in Victoria! We love it up there and have close friends there that we are planning to visit in our self converted sprinter van. Second, I have a gas sprinter and live in so cal. I installed a similar diesel heater in my van. I regret not getting a name brand like webasto or espar. My justification is that I live in a warm area and need will be less than you guys. But I’ve had nothing but issues with mine as well. Third, the fuel pump should be installed at an angle, at least that’s what the directions say. Lastly, one day lift pass here is $259!! That season pass you guys have is a killer deal!!!

@taeum3062 wow that's awesome! Would be awesome to drive around Vancouver Island in a van! Also thank you so much for the tip about the fuel pump! We visited another mechanic who works on heaters like ours and he mentioned the same thing about the angle, so we are going to get that fixed right after the lunar new year holiday. Also, skiing has become so expensive these days in North America eh! $259 for a single day is an absolute crime in my opinion! Hope there are some other places somewhat nearby that aren't as expensive!

Van life is huge in the USA. Have you tried looking into the van builds in the USA for ideas? The build outs look so much more advanced than Korea. They even have showers, kitchens and are insulated from cold or heat. Search YT for van life builds and you'll be amazed at what they can do nowadays. Good luck!

They should have given you an upgrade or some extra things for all the trouble.

New Westminster is a quiet city. Next city over, Coquitlam has a koreatown, about 15 min drive away. Vancouver(region) is a foodie city. Asian food generally is top notch. Not as cheap as street side Korea, yet very tasty. In Feb, maybe you can go skiing on local hills, yet eating is your main option at 0 degree weather right now.

@j.f.l.7649 haha it was definitely hard to keep bothering them, but we had no choice I guess eh! That's awesome that you will spend some time in Canada! I don't know much about New Westminster to be honest, but you should be fairly close to the skytrain (metro), so you can easily explore some other parts of the city as well. I don't have any specific restaurants to recommend, but definitely give some sushi places a try as Vancouver is famous for that. You could try BBQ Chicken as well which is a chicken franchise that's from Korea maps.app.goo.gl/Qxm3pz6kLF5k5q7R9. For some good places, you could check out Capilano Suspension Bridge for a nice park in the forest, and Grouse Mountain at night on a clear day for a nice view of the city. They are both a bit touristy, but I'd say they are both worth it. Hope you have a wonderful trip!

Being of similar age, having a Korean mother and American father and having spent chunks of my life in Korea, Germany and the USA, I also feel shifting tides regarding my identity. Frustrating with the heater and all that driving/time wasting and freezing. But despite the cold, Korean winters have a decent amount of sun to keep your spirits up. Here in western Germany, the climate is rather temperate/marine so our winters are unbelievably gloomy - punctuated with short days, constant cloud cover, temps rarely dipping below freezing and thus incessant periods of drizzling - it's maddening. There was a recent period where I hadn't seen the sun for more than an hour in three weeks. After 14 years here, I still haven't got used to it and likely never will. I also second the US/Canadian restaurant experience. This whole affected folksy attitude, constantly checking in on you and rushing you out to flip the table is intrusive and insincere. Added to that, any place with a bar will likely have an abundance of TVs.
