Happy Birthday Kelowna!

Kelowna is 100 years old today! I joined in with the festivities and got amongst the street party. Had an awesome fireworks display, one of the longest I have ever seen.

Everything is going well here in Kelowna. Looks like I have secured an engineering job at a local company. Same sort of work that I was doing back at home and the pay is good which will ameliorate my financial position. Not sure when I start but should be in the next week or so. They just have to find a free desk to sit me at as the office is chockers!

I'm still living at the hostel. It's one of the nicest hostels I have stayed at so not too bad at all. My days have been filled with beach volleyball, rollerblading and generally just getting out there and enjoying the sunshine. Kelowna is situated on a giant lake so there is heaps to do in Summer. They even have some sandy beaches which are nice by Canadian standards but prob won't rate a mention in Australia. Tough life hey!

Looks like I've got a sharehouse sorted, so will hopefully move in on the weekend. Seems like everything is coming together nicely for me!
