We've been at our new place for a few days now, and it's been great so far. Unfortunately, Ben has been working a lot, and his current commute is an hour each way. He leaves the house before 7am and gets home after 8pm, just in time for a late dinner and then bedtime. :( We're both really looking forward to the two weeks he's off for the holidays.
Anyway, this has left me in charge of household errands (!!) and exploring our new neighborhood, which is pretty cool. There's a bank and a grocery store a block away, a bunch of cafes and restaurants next door, and we're minutes from the huge central train station. Our apartment is a walk away from a pretty happening outlet (dangerous!), the footy stadium, and a bunch of corporate offices including the big news stations. It's a pretty young neighborhood - a decade ago, the area was just a giant dock, but now it's the home of a ton of cool stuff, and we'll probably see more businesses crop up here in the next few years. Everything on our street closes at 5ish, so our evenings are nice and quiet.
We finally have internet at our apartment, so I don't have to keep loitering around the local wi-fi hotspots with my iPad. Still waiting to receive our air shipment and get cell phones (we'll talk about that later...), but every day we're feeling more and more settled.
It's so nice to be home.
