Two artists move from Vancouver, B.C., population: 2 million, to Dana, Saskatchewan, population: 30. Can they survive rural life? (amendment: two artists barely survive 4 months in Dana and buy a building in nearby Bruno, population: 500)

Bruno has one restaurant. It’s imaginatively called The Bruno Café and we often go there for breakfast. The owners have started serving us coffee without asking, regardless of the time of day. Refills are always plentiful. It’s a Chinese Canadian restaurant. We’ve been to 19 villages and towns so far and those that have a restaurant consistently have a Chinese Canadian one. These single restaurant villages usually also have a hotel and every single one is unfailingly marked by a white and red 7-Up sign.
