First things first

Joel is on day three of work here and I'm on day two of looking for a place to live. The move thus far has really been pretty laid back and this apartment search may be too. Last night we met for dinner in Holland Village which is an expat enclave much like a tropical Kitsilano but with low-rises instead of houses. In the evenings the police come by and close the road where all the bistros are and the sidewalks become patios and the street, a walkway.
This morning there were several apartments available in the Holland area so I'm about to begin my cold calls and start setting up viewings. It's unusual for expats to be renting apartments without a real estate agent so we'll see how this goes off the cuff.
