WELCOME
I am now a resident of Calgary. As of Saturday I now reside in cow-town. Having not lived in Canada for 7 years, I am trying to cope with being in the great-white-north, but that is another issue I'll save for another blog.
I am living with the "bun-bun". My 18 year old sister who goes to Art school. Being the mature, older sister, bun-bun sent me off to Calgary, about a month ago, to find a place to live. She placed her trust in me...perhaps a little too blindly. See, I have never seen more than McKnight Boulevard. I knew where her school was and tried to find a place in the general vicinity.
Before I left to secure a place of residence, we had spent a good week on the internet and phone trying to get a showing of somewhere... anywhere! The search was bleak and I was losing hope that we would find a place. I got to Calgary, drove around, called 1000 more people, drove around, called people... you get the picture. So when my cousin told me of a friend of his who would be moving out of a basement suite, I jumped at the opportunity. I took the place right away. (I saw it first.)
I had no idea what the area was like, all I knew was that it was by the art school and the suite fit our needs. Well. Last night we went for a walk around the neighbourhood. SCARY. That's one thing everybody should do before they enter into a lease agreement. At least take a stroll around the block. Because, if everytime a car zooms by and you think in your head "please don't shoot me, please don't shoot me", it is probably not a good neighbourhood to live in.
