A little update
Nothing much to tell really. I'm looking very hard to find a new job. Sended out already a dozen or so resumes. But nothing comes up really. I need to be patient though. But it's beginning to annoy me.

Deep Panuke
As most people know I still work for Dredging International, even though I live in Canada. And I am lucky there is a project going on in Eastern Canada. So I only stayed 1 week in Calgary and on the 26th of January I left to Halifax, Nova Scotia. After a 7 hour flight and a hell of ride I finally arrived in Isaac’s Harbour. The village is in the middle of nowhere… Really! I have to drive 70km to buy some groceries. There is no bar, no restaurant, only houses and old people. I share a beautiful guesthouse in Drumhead (with oceanview!) with a dutch colleague.
When I first arrived here it was -25… Yesterday it snowed all day. But the past 2 weeks we had some beautiful days.
Here is some information about the project. So I am a surveyor on the Deep Panuke pipeline project. The Deep Panuke Pipeline Project involves the installation of facilities required to produce natural gas from the Deep Panuke field, located about 175 kilometres offshore Nova Scotia. Produced gas will be transported by subsea pipeline to Goldboro, N.S., where it will be transported via the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline (M&NP) to markets in Eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States. First gas from the project is expected in 2010.
And my part of the job involves the subsea pipeline to Goldboro. With a pontoon (Canadian Argosy) equiped with an excavator they are dredging a trench to put in the pipeline. I survey the trench on regular basis with a multibeam and make crossprofiles and lengthprofiles to show results to the client. Probably Chinese for most people ;)
And of course some pictures. Not that much but it gives you an idea of where I am currently living. More pictures coming soon!

All our stuff is here!
So this morning the moving crew arrived right on time. Two strong men carried all of our stuff inside. I think everything is till in one piece. The boxes don't seem to be damaged so that's always a good sign. Ofcourse we'll know for sure when we move into our own house. I don't think that we'll be opening the boxes before then. It's just a bunch of household things that we don't need right now.
Yesterday evening I went downtown to take some night pictures of the city center. Waw what a sight. I will post'em as soon as I get my new iMac. Should be a damn fine panorama.
O another fun thing I need to tell you guys. I thought that I would be missing out on all of the great Belgian beers. Turns out I have my own little rack in the liquor store!!! I won't be feeling thirsty in a long time :)
