Hi all,

Well after all my posts I have finally landed in Vancouver. Got my sin number today and am now looking for a room, job and a future!! All cry scary but I remain hopeful.......

My first question, as usual my bank has fd up after me thinking that all my uk accounts were sorted so I now need to make an elongated call to them to put matters right. Can anyone give some advice on the cheapest way to call as I've only got a Canadian PAYG phone..

Thanks and good luck to everyone in a similar position

Buy a phone card from the 7/11 or post office.

Get to the nearest drug store or Walmart, petrol station and buy a international phone card, they range from $5 up and they work out loads cheaper then trying to use your cell phone. You can use them to call from any phone, just punch in the number on the back and bobs your uncle.

Note to self, get skinny finger next christmas from santa!

Thanks guys that's great. So pissed off with my bank, just another headache that I don't need. My next headache is trying to fathom out why those who offer accommodation on craigslist asking to you to email never f####ng respond! ;0/

LOL...welcome to Canada, they love to ignore you....

It's doing my head in, at this rate I'll be living in hotels and home skintight within the month !!!

Hang in there stuart, i was ready to run home after a month and i'm glad i didn't....things will get better,

stuartm

I will, just the immediate tasks stressing me out. I need to find a cheap liquor store

FlirtyKnickers

Good luck with that...

just kidding, the amount of boozing that goes on here, it must be cheaper than water....

Oink

No such thing. Booze is spendy over here. I usually go for the 500ml cans of German or Austrian larger. Stay away from the horrible domestic shit, no matter what a local says, its all crap.

stuartm

Which cans from which supplier dost thou speak of ?? Quite partial to a honey lager as it goes, but sleemans, molson etc are appalling at best. Oh yeh and that Big Rock crap too. Apar form the lack of job, no accommodation and poor beer 'it's all good' as the locals say......

Alexander Keiths is my thing recently.
