With 6 days before send-off, I'm getting pretty stoked and have been regularly checking my iPhone for weather reports. Super fun. Today, for example, Melbourne is 25, Byron Bay 31 and Sydney, 28. Vancouver, -5 and Whistler -18.With 28 days of rain in November, I fully admit to not being a happy camper but cousin Meredith reminded me how lovely Vancouver can be when the sun eventually does come out. Like today. So I had to take a shot of this view from my cube at work in downtown Vancouver. Blue skies and condos. Vancouver has been called the City of Glass (coined by Vancouver author Douglas Coupland of Generation X fame) for its glass condominium towers which dominate the skyline. Not a bad view but I certainly won't mind trading it for the view from any one of the fine beaches at Byron Bay for a few days over Christmas.
Back to my book on Deciphering Australian Colloquialisms for the Canadian English Speaker.
