Accommodations

The day departure has been confirmed. I'll be leaving Vancouver on February 12th and arriving in Melbourne on the 14th (morning sometime). Its quite humbling to imagine walking out of the Melbourne airport with a suitcase, a guitar and the
realization that I don't know a single person on the continent. Humbling, but exciting. It'll be good to get away from Vancouver for a while.

In other news, I've finally organized where I'll be living in Melbourne. After a few hectic weeks of emails and checking out places online, I've decided on "Graduate House." Graduate House provides residence for graduate students at the University of Melbourne. Its a 'dorm room' kind of deal with a communal bathroom and meal plan. I thought this might be a good place to live for the first few months due to the fact that the residence is located directly across from the Engineering building and I won't have to worry about cooking. Once I get settled, I'll find a place off campus (apartment or house to share). I'll post some photos as soon as I get moved in.
