Home...

Nearly 2 weeks have gone by and very very fast...
I finally got myself and Gunta a bed to sleep...
So I am jumping from Natasha's bed in  with Gunta... yeah
Its pretty much 2 months when I haven't had my OWN room... I have been staying with my friends.. and don't think I complain... its been fun on its own way and it sure is a way to get closer with your friends ( I am talking about emotional way not physical or sexual). Probably when I am going to have my alone time at some point, I actually may feel bit lonely.
Anyway...
Little bit of finding a place in Dublin.. I would say that it was like having my own amazing race and I finally won one leg of that race.
Reasons why there is shortage of accommodation could be raised % you have to have for mortgage (from 10 to 20) and less people can afford to buy.. also probably more students and people arriving here..
That means that as soon as ad is up its either gone within hours or there is lots of people going to look that place and its like dating site or knows what, where you have to describe yourself and impress others.
So most of my evening I have spent looking for places or sending emails and messages (depending how its been asked to do).
Couple places were THAT bad that I was pretty much horrified and I would be afraid to sleep in those places.
Like where students had party (Wednesday evening) and Thursday evening when I went to see place it still wasn't cleaned up.. bathroom was still covered with water and toilet paper everywhere... animals .. effing animals.. mousetraps everywhere..  people there, who don't live there..
Another place was apartment and outside door on the street didn't even lock or close properly... no thanks guys.
I did have some nicer places but unfortunately they were not the legs I won on my own Amazing Race home hunt in Dublin.
So now me and Gunta will be living bit further away from city center ( it will be easier for me to get to work.. no more 2 hour journeys hopefully)
But yeah Natasha has been extremely kind for letting me stay with her for 2 weeks and Annika has been taking me places when I need and overall its like my last bit in Vancouver with Liz and Karin. I have effing amazing friends I just have to keep saying that.
It had been many years since I saw Natasha and Annika last and Gunta will be the first person I will see I used to hang out with before my move to Vancouver year ago.
Work has been okay so will see.

At least I was getting good workout running around Dublin yet I am so damn happy that its over. I don't mind exploring and walking around but I am so tired of not having one lazy day. Looking forward to the weekend (3 days off ) and if weather is okay, maybe we finally can do our hike with Annika...
try to keep you posted..
