So spent some of last week going house hunting and saw some really nice houses. The boss put in an offer for one about 2KM from where i'm working and it got accepted in record quick time. All that's left is to do the usual survey and hopefully i'll be moving in by the end of September ... after a bit of repainting and some shopping for furniture.
After a busy week at work we (myself and Joe) somehow convinced Kelly to take us out to Moosejaw. we spent the afternoon going on a tour of the Moosejaw Tunnels where in the 1900's the chinese imigrants were coming over to canada and saw the conditions and persecution they had to face and the difficulties in living in Canada earning a tiny wage. and in the 1920's they were used to make alcohol for sale in the US during prohibition ... Kind made me glad we live in much more civilised times and how my experience has been so much different and better.
We also went out to see Mac the Moose.
That's Kelly and Joe in the pictures ... oh and Mac the Moose.
There're also some interesting road signs in Moosejaw ... i.e. becareful of man leading moose to cross the road??
Makes you wonder, doesn't it ?
And just to prove that all of saskatchwan isn't flat ... a picture of a hill in Moosejaw ...
Ok, it's not a big hill ... but it's still a hill.
and finally a picture of downtown Regina on the way back from Moosejaw ...
So I guess that's all from my update, I'm off to Montreal on Friday and then back in the UK for a few days from the 9th of Sept to the 13th of Sept ... hopefully catch up wiht some of you when I'm back home and details of my trip to Montreal to follow next week.
Adios

Hello Naeem, Looking like your having a great time. I was wondering, why is the plastic moose in a fenced off area with a model plane?
ReplyDeleteIt's a very agressive moose ... actually it's to keep tourists from nicking bits of the moose. No idea why the planes there.
