Presumably it's a $50 food allowance per day. From the way it's [poorly] written it sounds like they give you $50 for the entire 80 days.

Lol, you made a valid point. The whole time we assumed it's $50/day. But, pretty sure it IS.

I'd do it if I didn't have a kid, or a job I didn't care for. Would be awesome to steal a buggy and drive around in it.

$50 a day for food is not enough if you're eating out.

I just vacationed for 2 weeks and can say I spent < $50 day easily. $10-15 for most breakfasts with coffee. $10-15 for a sandwich combo at lunch. $20-25 for a nice meal and a beer. and that's if I eat well everyday, sometimes you're just gonna grab a muffin and coffee for breakfast, or a cheap meal at McDs.

With $50/day, you're gonna be broke after 4 or 5 beers. Airport beers ain't cheap.

Just to keep from being bored and moping around, I'd try a bunch of different jobs to pass the time.

Damn if I was in Canada, I'd enter. Here's what you HAVE to do:

Two (2) stories each week;
A minimum of one (1) personal video diary entry each week;
Up to three (3) spontaneous stories (in written and/or video form) each week;
A minimum of one (1) interactive Twitter / Facebook video response each week;
A minimum of four (4) Twitter updates per week;
A minimum of two (2) Facebook updates per week;
A weekly blog for www.LiveatYVR.ca; and
Additional content ongoing.

And the $50 per day is only if you turn down the offer of 3 meals one day.. so if you don't feel like airport food for another meal, you can use your voucher.

People who work there can tell you now that there really aren't 80 days worth of things to do in there.

Me too, but that would be rather difficult in the airport, where prices are inflated

But again, the $50 is only necessary if you don't want to eat the provided meals.

Just print a fake boarding pass and use an Airline lounge if you have status with them. Free drinks and food all day with relaxation facilities. If you don't have lounge access, easily obtainable with Priorty Pass which I believe is $400us a year or comes free with many credit cards.

I would just chill in the lounge all day and wander around when wanting too.
