:: This Side UP ^

Can you believe its been over a year since we’ve been in Canada… and coming up to a year living in this apartment. Just when things were getting cosy we’re packing our stuff again and moving into a new apartment. As much as we love our current place, we’re finding it a bit small for us now so we’re upgrading to a bigger place.

Rental costs Downtown are starting to get a ridiculous nowadays! People are charging such high premiums for shoebox apartments. The only way to find a decent sized place at a realistic price is to look outside of Downtown. Even then, you’ll be driving at least 20-30 minutes before the prices are “normal”.

Lucky for us we found a great place in a new building right in the heart of Yaletown and we won’t have to sell any organs to continue to afford to live Downtown. We love the lifestyle and location so it’s only fit to see we moving only 2 blocks from our current place! And so the tedious task of packing begins… This would be the fifth time we’ve packed up a house since leaving Australia. I think Tash and I are single handedly funding the survival of moving companies worldwide!

Hmmm… I wonder if people will think it’s weird if they see us walking down the street with a lounge suite and mattress… Who needs a mover?! I’ve seen stranger things happpen in Yaletown…
