We had to catch a Amtrak bus from Seattle to Vancouver as the train didn't go that way. We were on with a group of oldies that had been doing America by rail. When we got to the border everyone went up to the guys and gave their info card and passport and Jason and I were taken into a separate area. I so knew this would get the oldies talking! Kids these days, ra ra ra. Reason being.. we were getting our work visas processed. Complete with cheap alcohol from the Duty Free Shop (Grey Goose and Chambord), we got onto the bus with a million questions. Once we annouced we were working in Canada. Ohhhh.. how exciting for you! Are you Aussies? And the questions continued killing their thoughts of us being drug mules and whatever heh.
Our hostel is pretty nice and comfortable and the temperature is a hot 14C during the day! YAY. At least I can get used to our new home before I have to freeze to death in it. We got here late in the afternoon so haven't had much of a chance to explore yet but it is pretty.. and alot of Japanese restaurnants. I have a feeling I am going to be happy here :)
((Just to let everyone know this will be the end of this travel blog.. still gotta put some pics up for the last few entries - please bear with us.. trying to find jobs and survive and things like that =P Will start a new Canada blog which will prob update every week or so)). Hope you have all enjoyed!
