Flat on the top

I’ve been busy in these last days to move my staff and get used to the routine of a finally former jobless, but as now I’m a little bit more settled in my new flat, I got some spare time.

Since I was thinking of moving to Vancouver I had in my mind the clear idea to give a try to live in downtown; well… I must say I got what I wanted.

I now live in a flat at the 30^th floor of a skyscraper. The place should maybe be refurnished but no doubt: you get a wonderful sight on the city.

Is that what I really wanted? It’s maybe too early to confirm it.

I’m actually surprised and disappointed by the amount of noise you get from downtown, and I can’t figure out yet how comes that the sirens of police and ambulances can reach even my room at the 30^th floor.

Noise that anyway hasn’t prevented me to notice a nonsense of the English language: how can be a flat located in a skyscraper, i.e. in something that is high, thus far from being flat? Native-speaker explanation required!

I miss anyway my host family. I spent over three months with them in a quiet suburb of Vancouver close to Burnaby, learning more about Filipino food (bittermelon is not so bad, and Filipino sausages are great). They are really lovely people and I wish them the best.

I will have also to refocus my priority. I stopped searching for a job for now and I must decide how to use profitably my off-work time.

Maybe it’s really time to get out more often and get something to put into this pages, as I noticed I recently broadened the number of the followers of my blog.

Here come a couple of photos I shot from my balcony.
