My new home!

Åj åj åj, I have a new home, it is even a house! Just for me!!

I do not have the keys yet, so will not celebrate too early. But tomorrow at 2pm I will meet the agent, and get the keys! Hurrrrra!

This is my new view! From my bedroom!! It is the opening out to the open sea from the St John's harbour. There is nothing out there, just open sea, all the way to Ireland!

My first week in St John's

I have to say, so far so good! It has been a good week. I feel I am getting settled in now. I even have my Canadian Social Insurance number now! So now I am a "proper Canadian"!
Have got a nice new office, with windows out towards the harbour and sea. So have full control of all the vessels coming in and out of St John's! I just today moved out of the Hotel and in to Conny's place (as she is not here yet, she has been so kind to let me borrow her house). Always nice to get out of a hotel and into more normal living conditions. And her house is just two streets down from the office, so I will use 2 min to walk to the office, steep downhill. And 4 min back home! Have been doing a little house-hunting the last few days as well. And think I found my new home today, just have to hear back from the landlord if he will lower his price a little, so it will match my housing allowance. Very exciting!

The view from my hotel

This is the view from my hotelroom. Here you see pretty much the whole of down town St John's (westwards). To the left you have the inner harbour, and the tall white building is our office (a 10 min walk from the hotel).

2011 - a new era has begun!

No longer far-far-away land to the east, but this time far-far-away land to the west! Out on the outer most easterly point of north America! Nothing but Atlantic ocean as far as the eye can see!
Have my 2 year work-visa in my passport and lots of winter-clothes in my bags! This will be an exiting new adventure! New people to get to know and a new place to call home!
