As previously reported a coworker of mine rented me her house. She gave me a pretty good deal for the place, but the arrangement was that she may or may not kick me out after a year because she really didn't know what she was doing with it, which was why it was sitting empty. Well, the bad news is that she's decided to sell it early, which means that I'll be out by the end of March.

It kind of sucks to have to move so soon. I am quite happy there, and I'm not looking forward to moving again. I've been toying with the idea of buying a house, but there are several good reasons not to do that right now:

• The housing market is really hot right now so prices are high
• The rental market is really lousy right now, which means if I bought a place with a basement apartment, or rented out some rooms, it would be hard to find renters
• It ties me down to Toronto. I don't know that I want to leave Toronto, but I like the idea of being able to pack up anytime I want and go back to Nepal, or wherever. This probably isn't a good reason to not buy a house.

So, I guess I'll find another apartment. Bah.

Oh, I finally got around to posting pictures from The Big Trip. Check them out in the photos section.
