Thanks man, I've been here since 2006 and we got married in 2007. It's TONS better for collecting down here than it is up there.
From my experience, pay is much better here than it is up in Toronto. I'd be making alot less doing the same job up there as I am down here. I don't know if DH can weigh in on this at all, but I've heard both pay and cost of living are pretty high in Calgary too. DH, I heard you can make $24 an hour working at Tim's there. That true? I took French til grade 10 but I can't speak it. I wish I hadn't given up on it, it'd be cool to know another language. And being down here in Texas, it would be a good jump off to pick up Spanish as well. Well it sounds like your doing well....And like you said,"THE TOYS"..LMAO! I speak Hebrew,and after being with my wife 10 years I speak spanish also!!! It really helps out to know spanish in this country now a days...You should learn!! |

I do sound at my church for weddings every Saturday, and I make $60 bucks a wedding (for about 40 minutes of sitting around pushing buttons) I also worked in a lab at the Foothills Hospital's Neuroscience section last last summer, that doesn't pay as well, only $10 an hour. I like it here. |

Some edits
(Ok, yes, that's how it will look in 3 years when the 40some buildings under construction downtown are done, but you get the point) The Island in the foreground is the zoo, Currently I'm in THIS building (There is a brand new 10 story hospital behind it now, but it's the best I could find on short notice) New hospital wing from the OTHER side

That's cool that you picked that up. Being Filipino, we can pick some Spanish up here and there. It'd be cool to be fluent in any of those romance languages though, you'd have a good head start into at least 3-4 other languages. |

Anyone figured out the city yet? EDIT: This is a highly unusual pic, you can only see 8 tower cranes downtown. EDIT EDIT: OH wait, SS already did. Way for me to pay attention!

It's ridiculous man, we got a 4 bedroom house last year for about $175K. The same size house even in the suburbs of Toronto would go from anywhere between $350-$500K. Shopping here is ridiculous too. I used to get my dress shirts for work from the Bay for like $30 a pop, when they were on sale. Down here, I won't pay more than $15 for a shirt cause stores like Macy's always have ridiculous sales. I got a parka from a Timberland outlet store for $15 last year. I'll never need it down here, but I couldn't pass that up.
That looks real nice. I'll get to do that CN cross-country train ride one day. That's cool that you picked that up. Being Filipino, we can pick some Spanish up here and there. It'd be cool to be fluent in any of those romance languages though, you'd have a good head start into at least 3-4 other languages. Yea a friend of mine took Latin in collage.....Now he speaks all of them..Even english started from Latin!!! |

A friend's cousin was visiting once. She was Russian, but she could speak German (she was in school in Cologne I think), English, a bit of French and a bit of Latin. I'm not sure but she might have spoken Hebrew too. I just think it's cool to know other languages. Stay safe Ronin! |
