We have an apartment! We signed the lease last night!
We actually found it it on sunday, the first day we were here! I totally thought we would spend the first day lazing and visiting the beach, but instead we spent our first two days doing some really intense apartment hunting.
We got super lucky and found a big 1 bedroom place, with nice hardwood floors, RIGHT on the busroute we need, for only $675 a month! We checked it out and immediately knew it was the apartment for us, but we spent the next day looking too just in case it wasn't the best we could do.
It turns out we were very lucky the lady renting it liked us, she turned down people before we even filled out an application! Apparently landlords don't like to rent to people under 19, especially people without previous landlord referances. Not to mention that vacancy in vancouver is 0%, other people at apartment showings were panicking about finding a place.
The lady who interviews us must be 80 years old, she's easily confused but seems really sweet. The owner seems to rent only to the people she hand picks out! It was funny.
We're taking the rest of the week to enjoy vancouver. We won't be moving until probably the last week of july, but the apartment will oficially be ours on july 1st!

Dim Sum on friday has been quasi cancelled in lue of going to chinese bakery, starbucks, then legislature grounds <_< but it hasn't been confirmed because no one has actually SAID anything.
