Apartment Hunting in Vancouver ....

It has been a really tiring day ... Although the scenic view along the trip was gawking but the 5 hrs ++ Bus ride was a pain in the Butt. The Govt here practically build the Highway alongside the steep High Mountain slopes & even some area have warning signs stating "Area Prone to Avalanche".

When I 1st reach Vancouver, I got on to the Sktrain. Another astonishing matter is that there are no gates or checkpoints to see if you have a ticket to board the Sktrain, they just based on Trust & Honesty of the passenger.

My mission here is to hunt for a suitable apartment. Unfortunately to my dismay there are several apartments (Horizon Towers & Panarama) who do not rent 1 bedroom (abt CAD 1200/month) apartment to family with kids, they require us to rent a 2 bedroom (abt CAD 1700/month). This is really ridiculous, I could actually threaten them that I will complain to the BC Human Rights Tribunal for discrimination, but what is the point ... even if I get to rent a apartment there, the relationship between landlord & tenant will be sour.

It is really a very tiring day but I just couldn't sleep well (now is 2am). I am worried if my journey here will be in vain. Tomorrow, I will head out again & hopefully I can find a good place. Being away from my family really make me miss them even more.

OMG !!!!!
