Vancouver

The day after we got here, we had this orientation thing with the company we came here through, which just told us about how to get bank accounts, cell phones, where to live, etc. Then we went house hunting. We had no idea where to live, and had no idea Vancouver was as big as it is. We started our search near where we work in North Vancouver, but it kind of lacked the big city feel, so we decided we didn't really like any if those, so we focused our search more on the city, deciding to travel further. After visiting a lot of places, including some weird one with this old guy who would be living in the living room, we settled on an area and found somewhere. So if anyone wants to write to us, send it to:

Suite 5
1339 Barclay St
Vancouver, BC, V6E 1H6
Canada.

It's pretty fun. It's furnished, so we don't have to worry about that and its only about 2 or 3 blocks from downtown and in the other direction is a beach and massive park, so it should be pretty good. Also it happens to be in the block the Incredible Hulk was filmed, and pretty near where Changeling was filmed. Famous. Everything happens monthly in terms of accommodation, so we have to wait until the 1st (its the 28th here) so a couple more nights in a hostel. Anyway, now that we've sorted where we are going to live we can get to know the city and do some fun things. First on my list is buy gumboots.
