Here is a little update from our first couple of days in Vancouver. Just as we expected, this town rocks like Chuck Berry pushing a rockin' boulder over Jerry Lee Lewis' piano. We live in a short term rental right now that is located in the West End, a 20 minute walk from my future employer, a 5 minute walk from the beach and within walking distance of a couple of hundreds of restaurants and shops.

We already have bank accounts, a cell phone, a shiny iMac and filed rental applications for 2 lovely apartments. Yesterday evening we went for the Vancouver food experience: hot dogs for lunch, some great, and cheap, sushi at Tsunami Sushi for diner and cocktails at some fancy bar afterwards. Today we will be going to a BBQ at Make Technologies and try to seal the deal on the apartments. Fingers crossed.

Also: we have the first set of pictures online at http://futurestreet.org/gallery/?gallery=vancouver-2-2005 .
