Raise sentence

Hussein was executed yesterday after passed a death sentence a few months ago. I don't have enough information about what harmful things he actually did, but in terms of harmfulness, I think Bush deserves more the sentence. War is unfair and might is right. Anyway, I was pronounced a raise sentence from my apartment manager. The rent is going to increase $40 from next April. The marina rent is to be raised by $75 too. It is almost a death sentence for me without any income in Canada. I have almost decided to leave here in a few months, but I have not decided where to go next. Vancouver is sure a good place to live in, but prices are rising and Stanley Park was seriously damaged. It might be the time to change air. I am looking for a good city in the world to live in.

Hi there.

I really, really enjoy reading your blog. I am a half-Japanese/half-Taiwanese guy living in downtown.

I am sure you can find a place in Vancouver that is affordable. Have you tried the bulletin boards in ESL schools? They have lots of offers.

Good luck!!!

Thanks for your advice. Sure how much is the rent is an important issue, but what is more important to me is the rent increase ratio. 4% every year means 50% in 10 years! Plus the exchange rate between Japanese yen and Canadian dollars is still bad. I don't like to spend excessive money on any things with the same value.
