Rice, rice, and more rice!

So the thought of buying a year's worth of goods is a bit foreign to me. Naoko and I have mostly been daily shoppers, rarely do we ever do a big grocery shopping. Today as we loaded up our grocery cart and the goods started to pile up, it started to feel like I was on that old game show Super Market Sweeps where your supposed to indiscriminately grab as much as you can and whatever you want. It's fun!

Being in Whitehorse puts us at a bit of a disadvantage compared to others moving from down south up to Nunavut as our Superstore's shelves can be feast or famine; luckily this week their supply of Japanese rice was plum full and we bought the store out. We now have fourteen 10kg bags of rice, I figure that'll last a year!

Welcome!

Well I have the blog site now, so I guess it's time to write! I'm busy as heck trying to get things in order for our departure on January 20th, so I figure my entries won't be too extensive yet.

We are trying to figure out what are the necessities and what can remain back in Whitehorse. The Government of Nunavut pays for 4000lbs of our personal effects to be shipped up North.

Stay posted as we move up North. I am going to miss Whitehorse, most notably because of the many friends we have already made in just two years. We will most definitely be back in the future, and look forward to reconnecting on our return.
