Walnut Street

Our new home is situated in the famililar area of Kitsilano, we are just a few blocks from the beach in one direction and a few blocks away from 4th Avenue in the other direction. 4th Avenue is a big shopping spot which happens to be where I go to work.The street has a range of grocery stores, my favourite being Capers and The Apple Market. It has a big Safeway supermarket but I find it very overpriced and the food seems to only be available in very large quantities.

Adam works down town in a place called The Pacific Centre (a big shopping mall) He can conveniently catch the bus from the end of Walnut Street and it will go right into the centre. To catch the bus it costs $2.50, which certainly adds up, so I now buy a book of 10 tickets for $19.00 from the local corner shop and Adam is now the proud owner of a monthly bus pass that cost a bunch more dollars but definitely works out in the long run.

We are sharing our home with a Canadian couple, Lukas and Naomi. We have yet to meet Naomi as she herself is off on her travels but Lukas is a nice guy around our age. He took us out for Sushi which was very tasty! We are also very happy to be living along side a very cute dog and lovely fluffy cat.
