My New Digs

15 Nov

I packed up my travel bag and walked 3 blocks to my new place. I found a 7 bedroom house that had 2 bedrooms available for my friend Tom and I. Tom and I met back at UBC in 2010 when he was doing a year exchange up there and is one of the main reasons I moved down to New Zealand. We got two rooms in the West Wing of the house. There are 8 of us living in the house with 4 guys and 4 girls, should be interesting at the least. I am just a 25 minute walk to work and more importantly a 5 minute walk to many drinking establishments on Cuba Street (for those in Vancouver think Commercial). The kitchen is pretty small and we don’t have much of a yard but it holds up in the Wellington wind so that is more than I can ask for.

An Ode to Simi

7 Nov

For the past month Matt has been a huge GC to let me crash in his lounge while I sorted my life out. We had never met before but for some reason accepted me into his home. Our first meeting could have gone better as I called him to let me into the apartment as he was entertaining a female companion. I dropped my bags off and hung out watching TV until he emerged from his room and asked if I wanted some eggs. He cooked up a feed and we made some proper introductions. Over a month later and I feel like I have known the guy for years. Too many good times together including that trip up to Auckland for the finals. The time at the flat was awesome but it is time for me to get my own room. A huge thanks to Matt for the mattress on the floor and you have one in Vancouver when you get yourself up there.
