Well I didn’t use this blog as much as planned but I thought I’ll give a last update before we’re back in Canada!
We come back to Edmonton this weekend on Saturday June 19th! Last week we had our last day at work and said goodbye there. And the last three days we were in the north of Vietnam in Hanoi (the capital) and the amazing Ha Long Bay on a honey moon trip! Yeah – a little strange to have a wedding, a honey moon a few months later and then another wedding a month later again – but we’re just strange people I guess.
It was hard to leave the work at the Maison Chance behind – it felt like there was still a lot unfinished. At the same time I felt like we accomplished a lot too. The biggest thing I was initially worried about was that within 3 months of leaving the computer lab would just go back to the state it was in when I arrived. But we managed to really set things up in a way that it should last longer. And I think the English students that wanted to learn something did learn something. So all in all I think we had a good impact there.
When we get back things will get very stressful for at least a month House buying, wedding planning, job search for Cindy… Thankfully we can stay with Cindy’s aunt and uncle again while we’re looking for a home. And it also looks like it’s a great time for buying homes in Edmonton as there’s a lot on the market, and few properties selling.
This week we say goodbye to everyone here, pack and do some last shopping. We really can’t shop much more because we’re already over our weight limit for the plane. We’ve decided we’ll just pay the $25 penalty per overweight suit case because it’s cheaper than shipping.
Thanks everyone who read this blog! Soon we’ll be back in Edmonton and nothing will be worth talking about again! We look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
