Vancouver
Driving on the right side of the road? What craziness will be next?
As per the previous post I have returned to the crazy land of Vancouver. Where prices shown on labels bear little to no resemblance to the price you actually pay, where cars drive on the wrong side of the road, and everything seems extremely spacious.
In just two weeks I have managed to secure an apartment, and discover the joys of signing up for power (easy, online) and cable (not quite as easy, because online just makes them call you, which they don’t, so you end up phoning them and waiting on hold for 20 minutes). Miraculously, despite only having been in the country for less than a month there was no problem getting any of these sorted.
Next weekend will involve a fun filled trip to Ikea to obtain necessary essentials (like a bed). Ah Ikea. No laminated book of dreams, but none the less plenty of fun things to buy.
