Another terribly short entry this week. I’ve finally moved out of my place in North Vancouver to one in Kitsilano, which is much more vibrant and close to everything, including the beach, so I’m hoping it will be a better fit. Still job-searching but at least having time to write in the downtime.
Hopefully I’ll have something more interesting to share next week!
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
I’m still unemployed at the moment, so this has been a fairly quiet week of job-hunting and running errands rather than anything too touristy. The weather hasn’t helped either, going from bright sunshine to torrential rain from one day to the next. I did however visit the Science Museum on Friday evening. They were having one of their After Dark nights, an adults only affair where we can play with the exhibits ourselves without kids getting in the way! It was quite a bit of fun and there was a bar and some stand-up comedians. All of them did a good job considering they were instructed to make jokes centred around Earth Day (which had been the day before) in their routines, though the worst by far was the sole female comedian, who did not go down too well. I’m sorry, but it isn’t necessary to make crass sexual jokes the minute you step onto the stage – none of the men did.
Next week should be slightly busier with my upcoming move and hopefully other events in the pipeline. Till next week…
The sun has finally made an appearance here in Vancouver, meaning I was able to go out walking and exploring over the weekend, though no pics of any substance. On Saturday I was wandering around the Kitsilano area where, fingers crossed, I may be moving to at the end of the month, depending on whether the apartment I go see on Monday is any good. And on Sunday I was following one of the nature trails in North Vancouver.
I finished my temping job on Friday so now I have to set up something else with my temping agency and see what else is out there. I’m going to treat the time not working as an unexpected holiday though until something comes up.
Till next week…
Hello world! Thought it was about time I update this since I’m now safely in Vancouver! The flight over went smoothly, though we were slightly delayed because of the snow at Heathrow, and I met up okay with the other BUNAC travellers who are all a lovely bunch (*waves at those reading this*).
Vancouver itself is great, though I haven’t had chance to do too much exploring just yet. The first few days were doing all the administrative business of living somewhere new, setting up bank accounts etc and then sending out an endless stream of resumes to various temping agencies.
