Whistler Tales (2)
Well things have moved a little quickly since my last post.
That "other unfurnished house" we were looking at in the afternoon turned out to be quite nice, so nice infact we've allready moved in :)
2 Bedrooms, Bathroom, Kitchen/Diner living room in a wooden "condo" style building on a small (rather posh) estate - "Alfa Lake Village" for people who want to know. Its 10 mins walk from Whistler Creekside and some of the ski lifts up Whistler mountain, 10 mins on the bus from Whistler Village itself and costs 466CND (233GBP) a month each inc water+elec.
So nice appartment, 10 mins from the worlds premier ski resort, for less than our student house in ghetto land Nottingham... hehe
Just don't ask how we've got internet ;)
Dinner this evening was at a local pub - 4 of us got absolutley stuffed on Ribs/Chicken Wings/Burgers and a pint of beer for 6.50GBP :)
We saw the first bear in the village this evening, running scaed from the bear police and their starting pistols :)
Tomorrow SKs Godfathers brother in Law (yes its a tenuous relation) who lives just up the road (and has been helping us find houses/jobs) is taking us to the Canadaian equivalent of a charity shop to buy stuff for the house - as I said before, it's completely unfurnished. Although our landlord has mentioned a spare leather sofa... :)
Mr Nuggles and Ms SK are currently asleep and this is getting far too waffly for my own good - so goodnight.
T-minus 6 weeks till the snow...
