Nice one, when and where are you heading?
We're doing really well here now, we're finally happy with our apartment and I'm getting on well with work. Loving being paid every 2 weeks as well
Plus it's currently the Stanley Cup Playoffs which is great, although the Canucks lost their first game last night which isn't good.
I thought I'd share a some info about our apartment.
This is where we live; the little red dot:
It's right next to Rogers Arena and BC Place, so close in fact we can hear the Canucks goal horn before we see it on TV, which was cool at first but actually makes it quite annoying watching the game. We can also see through the window bits at the top of BC Place, so you can see the big screen which is pretty cool.
We're on the 18th floor (although technically it's probably only the 14th or so, as they have no floor 13, and a few other numbers as well as apparently they're bad luck for Asians or something).
It's pretty small, but it does the job, and there's a little Den which isn't pictured, but is great for storage and stuff, although we probably should have used it as an office.
On a clear day we can see some mountain ranges in the USA, including the MASSIVE Mount Baker, which looks incredible. Unfortunately a building blocks one side of it so you can't see it fully, but it's still cool.
There's four bloody 25 story building about to go up around Rogers Arena, the first of which will block most of our view of False Creek, and is due for completion in April next year. If we stay on for another year we'll probably move somewhere else.
In general though, we're very happy, loving city life, and very much looking for to an awesome summer.
