A year ago, we woke early at a hotel by the airport, boarded a shuttle bus, and then made our way onto an airplane. We said good-bye to our home country and anxiously prepared for our first field assignment.
Two flights later, we we arrived in what would be our home for the next 3.5 months: the beautiful and big city of Vancouver.
I remember that first day in Vancouver. We were exhausted, nervous, a little sad, and very much overwhelmed. We boarded the (wrong) SkyTrain towards our apartment in Surrey, and finally made it there. We were excited about the cool views from a very hip high-rise apartment. We were hungry. We needed to go grocery shopping. We didn't know where anything was. We wandered aimlessly, searching for what would become our routine: grocery stores, shops, restaurants, coffee, etc. While it wasn't always easy, we really enjoyed our short time in Canada.
It's hard to believe it's been a year since we left our normal. And yet in some ways, it seems like even longer than that!
