My first week

Hello UK, I've been here a week and thought I'd put an update on what's been going on so far. I'm currently staying in the Hotel Saskatchwan in what is affectionately known as "downtown". It's not London but there are a lot of different restaraunts and bars here and it's quite busy during the weekdays when everyone is in their offices.

As most of you know I'll be back in the UK for a week and hopefully by the time I'll have sorted out a house or apartment, will be nice to properly unpack all of my stuff. I'll keep you updated on the house huting next week.

The client office is about 5 mins walk from the hotel and unfortunately my desk is on the 3rd floor so i get the fun of climbing up and down stairs all day (the main meeting room we've been using is in the basement).

I've met most of the guys from the project team and the client project team and they are a great bunch, I've already been invited to BBQ last wed and it's true what they say ... Candians are the nicest people. As it's Ramadan they actually made sure not to start the BBQ until about 20 mins from sunset so I could join in and eat at the same time and also bought Veggie burgers for me. Not bad considering they've only know me for all of 2-3 days.

I've got this weekend to myself as all of the project team have gone home for the weekend, some of them will be staying over next week, and we're planning to go visit Saskatoon ... but more on that next week.

Back to this week ... it seems quiet on the weekend around here so I've been doing a bit of wandering, about 20 mins walk from the hotel is Lake Wascana, looks really pretty and has some built in areas with benches and pre-built BBQ's ... will definately be spending a few evenings having a BBQ by the lake. I'll put some photos up later on during the weekend.

So I guess that's all for now, hope you're all well and hopefully see some of you soon.

Adios
