After almost 2 weeks of sorting out crap we can almost call Calgary home (for a year at least). Thankfully the rental market in Calgary is not as crazy as in Sydney and finding an apartment, sorry condominium, was a breeze. I think in the end we got quite lucky and got quite a good deal. The settling in process has been made a lot easier by the fact that the place is fully furnished. Aleisha managed to pick up a sweet job in downtown working at an optometrist. Best of all its Mon-Fri 9-5 (the pay is also pretty good) meaning we have every weekend free for adventures.
Our condo - check out the gas fire, no more slumming it like a poor student.
Our front yard covered in a fresh dump of snow (BBQ included),
The Bow river is just a stone throws away. Of course as it is -20 at the moment the river is kinda frozen over and as Uni is up a hill I cant skate to work.
Some people from Sydney might not know what this is but in Calgary they are called cycle paths. Apparently Calgary has ~700 km of them.
The snow here isnt that wet crud you get back in NZ or Oz its real snow.

One hopes you are not getting to far above your station in a fine abode like that.
I was led to believe that one rents an apartment, and owns a condo...??
Looks very plush - but where are the guest quarters?
Guest quarters are opposite the kitchen in the den. Although currently the den is my work space/dining room. For those who leave rude comments on the blog there is also space in the garage to pitch a tent.
So no car yet?
