I am so lucky. Sometimes I cannot believe my luck! So far I am in love with my new residence. The best part is the view: From my window I can see all the cargo ships, cruise ships and ferries going in and out of Vancouver. This morning I even saw a sea plane. Up here with the hawks and the seagulls I have a birds eye view of everything going on below (including the construction, while it is noisy, it is really interesting to watch). I can  from my living room I can see Bowen Island, the mountains up to Squamish, Mount Baker, and I think I can see Vancouver Island too on a clear day. It is amazing.

Besides the view I also have really great roommates .

I have also started to enjoy cooking for myself. Last night I made my first proper meal (i.e. something other than cereal, yoghurt or salad). I still don’t have much in the way of seasonings and basics kitchen needs (actually all I have is an onion, butter and curry powder…) so making salmon required a little creativity.

I had a large bag of individually packaged salmon filets from costco (really worth it) and decided to make salmon I cut up half an onion, and draped the slices over the salmon, added some butter and sealed all of it in tinfoil. In the oven for 15 minutes, it was delicious!

I also had some rather stale, tasteless pita bread that I had bought and decided to make pita chips! I spread butter on those too, added chopped up onion and put them in the oven for 10 minutes. They were delicious too.

I ate my food at our dining room table looking out at a beautful sunset!

Anyway I’ll be off to my Math class now!
