Vancouver... 4hrs after arrival

Well, I've been here for around 4 or 5 hrs now and have only just been able to relax, kind of. Okay, getting to my hostel was a bit of a hassle. I needed to get 2 busses to get to the hostel, I got the 1st bus ok, thought I got the 2nd okay too but after 30mins I came to the end of the route and was at the opposite end of the city to where I wanted to be! So I grabbed all my gear and got the next bus the otherway. Got off where the directions from the hostel told me to, and walked from there... After around 20mins walk with the big pack and snowboard I finally came to my home, or dump, for the next 4nights... I've only met 3 of the 5 other ppl staying in my room and all 3 are long term residents. Two are weird and 1 is pretty nice and has told me a bit about the place etc...
After dropping my bags I decided to go for a walk around town. As I walked up one of the dirty streets of this city almost 30 ppl asked me if I wanted to buy their drugs (weed). So I took note of that street and made sure I didnt go back that way on the way home. There are sooo many homeless ppl walking, stumbling, rolling and crawling the streets around here! One nice man, a homeless drug dealer, decided he would show me around for a bit. After a while he wanted some money so I gave him 25cents and went into a pub to escape. After he left, I went to Macca's for some dinner, and bought some brekky from 7/11 for the morning.

So here I am now writing this to pass some time before I hit the sack and get ready for tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get a bus into Whistler and check out the job scene and try find a place to stay for a few months!

Will keep you all updated as I get more news!
