Last night, a friend of mine dressed up as Raggedy Andy and attacked me with a boffer sword while I defended myself with a 40 cm wiffle bat while remaining attached by one hand to an overhead ring.

We stopped because while it was fun, striking a person who is both moving and unarmoured is not exactly safe. So he whacked me some more while I stayed ( Read more... )

1. Stuff is appreciated.

2. Can't really help with storage.

3. Don't know any electricians there.

4. Road trip to Tofino/Nelson? I have a little Civic coupe that's just dying to be taken out of the city, there and back again.

5. I'm looking to buy rather than rent, but I'll put the word out when you're ready.

So all your exploration you are limiting to rural BC? I am excited you want to travel, but why those places specifically?

They
- are not big cities
- have trees and all that naturey shit
- speak English
- are very different from Vancouver
- are not ridiculously far from home
- by virtue of being in-province, make it easier for me to start an apprenticeship

Couch?

Yeah, that huge four-piece unit that used to be in Jhayne's.

I am thinking of leaving some of the furniture here for the next tenants.

But the couch is especially portable. It's very light. So it can go.

I can't emphasize this enough - small town living is *very* different from what you're probably used to. Internet and cell network access is patchy (not non-existent, but you can forget about anything fancy - voice and sometimes SMS, and if it's sufficiently remote, forget even basic broadband). Food is more expensive. You can get by with a bike in some areas, at the cost of anything even vaguely resembling independence. (A motorcycle lends itself to this somewhat better ( ... )

Shit, almost forgot - culture shock. Don't believe the hype. cloud_atlas is totally right about this, and then some. I can't tell you to be ready for it, because that's impossible. But you need to expect it.
