3 weeks in...

I thought I'd give a quick update. Job hunt is going well, I'm having a number of interviews at the moment which are looking promising. Once the job is sorted I can do a number of things, one of them being moving out of the basement of Katelynn and her family's house into the city, I have a room secured at a friend's house to rent, eventually I will rent an apartment. Secondly I can buy a car. Now being who I am, I've already had some fun test driving different cars and am sure will do some more of that but I've got a couple of ideas in mind ;)

Other than looking for jobs we've been doing normal life, going to church, going out for coffee, hanging out with friends. I've been working out lots and have a 30 day gym membership. I also have a musical project on the go assisting a friend of mine who's recording a song. I feel like I'm having a holiday, which is a good thing. As much as I wanted a job straight away, I can see the wisdom of God's plans in giving me some rest and relaxation as I adjust to moving half way across the world. As has been throughout this journey, it's been a case of one thing at a time.

Talking of adjusting, someone the other day asked me if I've had culture shock, it was an interesting question. In some ways not really, I more or less know what Canadian culture is like from my travels here before I moved, so that's not come too much as a shock. The hard part for me is being away from family and friends in England. The ubiquitous skype application has been very helpful in that regard. Moving country is harder than I thought. But was it worth it? A resounding YES.
