Hae guys. It's my last night in the Vancouver Samesun, and I think I'm gonna miss it. But at the same time I'm excited that I'm going to making my way across the province to my new job. Each day that passes I feel more excited and less like a fish out of water. [Yayness. ;P ] Speaking of fish, we are going to see Salmon spawning tomorrow on our tour. Hopefully my camera will work and I'll be able to take photos.
Today I bought snow boots and got on a $30 per month cell plan [here, that's like one of the cheapest options there is]. Part of that monthly plan payment goes towards paying off my new Samsung Galaxy Ace ll which came free with the deal. I didn't even have to pay a cent today at the shop for it! I was able to walk out after giving them my passport information and email address. They are so lax here!! [It is locked but I can unlock it and take it home with me - if it survives that is.] I was also given a $50 gift card so I was able to buy a shock proof case and a screen protector as well. I had to pay $17 for them on top of the $50 gift card, so Matthew and Sophie [I know you're reading this], you can do the math as to how much I would've had to spend to get those two items without the gift card. ;P I also thought you might be interested in the fact that an iPhone 5 costs not even $700 here. It's ridiculous how much we are charged for them in NZ.
We meet our two bus drivers tonight; they pretty much kept to themselves though, so we really just had a free dinner tonight - didn't learn much about the tour except that we meet tomorrow downstairs at 8AM. Some of the guys coming with us said that they've been getting up at 12 one 1PM so I hope they all make it.. ;P
After dinner I headed up to my room to pack and I think I've got everything. I feel like I've got a whole heap more stuff but I really don't, so I'm not sure why I feel surprised that it all fits...
Well I had better get to bed. I'm sorry it's short today but I can't live the high life everyday.. ;P
So cool to hear your adventures lol. Have entered your phone number in my phone but have no credit to text with! Have a great time on the tour and the kids are so jealous of your new phone!
