Apologies for the lack of Blog updates of late, once you stop posting it is difficult to get back into the habit.
Things have been busy over the last few months. Firstly, we moved into a new condo, although it is only 100m away from the previous one. I have also started looking for work out in the real world. Unfortunately our permanent residence application has not been processed and that is making the job hunt a little more challenging. But enough of that boring stuff, I know you all want to see exciting photos of exciting places...
Over the weekend we headed out to Golden in BC with the aim of doing the Burgess Shale hike/tour. The Burgess Shale is possibly the most important fossil site ever discovered and as such you need to book the trip months in advance. Also as it is a world heritage site it is not possible to get to the site by yourself.
Unfortunately there was a massive rock slide on the highway that blocked the road and stopped us from getting to the hike. However, as we were already camping out there we figured we would try to get in a hike anyway. After consulting a rough road map and navigating some even rougher forestry roads we managed to find a hiking trail. In the end the hike was good, apart from the hordes of communist mosquitoes.

Looks like I am not the only one have immigration dramas. It has been 2.5 years since I submitted my application and it is still due to take a few more months, hope your PR comes through soon. Looks like a nice walk anyway.
The big problem with the PR application is not knowing how long it will take. I am actually not allowed to call and ask questions about my application. Guess I just have to wait and hope.
That is even worse than the Australian system at least they give an indication of the wait although it is a very long wait so sometimes it would be best not to know.
