Day 14: Ok, so I've been in Whistler 10 days now but it feels amazingly like I've been here for weeks.I've made loads of friends and no day in town goes by without bumping into various acquaintances so I'd really like to stay.I'm now in a phat pad in Brio - 10 mins from Whistler village. Neil and Julien aka Kiwi helped me move in on Sat.I've got the pad through Filly's godmother's, uncle's, brother's cousin's next door neighbour.Its just till the end of Novembe...

Day 8: I moved to the HI hostel by Alta Lake which was an absolutely breath taking setting of a hostel overlooking a lake with a mountainous range back drop - not bad by half (see the pic).When I got to the hostel I discovered they didn't have my name on the list of people that were staying there due to the stoned up Ozzie that I spoke to not writing it down.I was told I'd have to sleep on the couch one night.Great.

Day 4: Due to my rubbishness at pre-booking a hostel in Whistler I ended up having to book the only available hostel which was in a place called Pemberton which I later discovered could also be known as 'Behind da Lawd's back'. While waiting for the coach with a guy I travelled from England with called Neil, a random Ozzie girl asked to borrow my map and we got chatting. Before we knew it we'd become friends and she suggested moving in together!! I was dis...

Day 3: Yesterday we had our Bunac 'orientation' meeting which was ironically extremely disorientating. We received packs containing admin gold such as bank account forms - boring!! - for us to become proper temporary Canadian citizens and bizzarely all received differently flavoured condoms in each of our packs - what did they take us for!! At the meeting we got a gloomy forecast warning us about the difficulty getting jobs and accomodation in Whistler. Boy, w...
