A tad limbo

Vancouver, 8C Overcast and showers
So the trip to Vancouver did an excellent job of convincing me that air turbulence isn't that fun, aside from some great new fashion statements like wearing your lamb curry. On arrival I felt a bit worse for wear owing to the lack of sleep. I still think all those people that sleep on planes are faking it, they actually have eyes wide open under those eyemasks. After collecting all the baggage and tracking down the airport bus we ended up shuttling around Vancouver to everyone's hotel. Of course for the backpackers they don't drop us off in front, rather, down the street in front of the fluorescent sign advertising 25c peeps, fun!

Arriving at 8.15am gave me the chance to get most of the business side of things done, like registering a Social Insurance Number and setting up a bank account. Made a nice excuse for a stroll through the city, which looked alot like Melbourne in it's layout and old/new theme, except with more of those big white vans that normally house a surveillance team in movies. Im not sure if it's the weather but the city just seemed so quiet, which I wasn't exactly complaining about, since it made it alot easier to get around and alot of the seaside areas were totally deserted.

Anyways, its coming off a bit like a kind of limbo. I see what Jimmy meant when he said he was sick of living out of a bag, it took me about half an hour to get sick of. Not staying long enough to warrant unpacking, but at same time needing to get into the bag several times a day for various stuff. Ah well, it'll be great to get up Whistler after this little adventure.

The final note Im making is how early the sun goes down, by 1pm the light was so dim it seemed like a normal Melbourne 6pm. So now it's 5.45pm and the sun has been down for a couple of hours, I feel like it should be around 9 or 10, but really, honestly, it looks like Im heading to bed before 6pm. Sleeeeeep....
