Canada!
I just arrived in Vancouver with my friend Jules, after a looooong time traveling. We are here on a work trip for a few weeks. I wrote some software to talk to the on-board computers on haul trucks, based off some spec documents, and so my goal is to try the software for real and make sure it is working properly. The plan is to stay a few days here in Vancouver, then a few in Edmonton, and then up to Yellowknife and spend some time on a mine site.
So far I love Vancouver… It’s a beautiful city with a similar feel to Perth in that it is clean, open, not too dense, next to water, and the people are friendly. We met up with some of the guys from the office here and went out for dinner and drinks which was fun (despite being incredibly tired and jet lagged).
Hopefully we’ll finish up on the mine site early enough to have a bit of time to explore Canada before we have to head home.
