sheff2van : sheffield -> vancouver

I just came back from the Non-Profit Technology Conference and had to change planes in Salt Lake City.

It's a strange place physically, on a large flat area lodged between the mountains, next to a huge lake with an island that looks like a battleship. I didn't have much time to check it out socially or morally, though I did try by doing a bit of research by going to the Squatters Brew Pub (Terminal C in the event that you also change planes there).

Good selection of beers including a good pale ale, Captain Bastard, Provo Girl (which unfortunately does not feature an Irish Tricolour on the label) and the Polygamy Porter ("why have just one"). Also a wheat beer served with a slice of lemon (probably after many complaints).

So maybe it's not such a straight place as I'd imagined.

We were feeling lazy/tired last night and bought a pizza from the local supermarket.

It was surprising to find included in the instructions the fact that if you were cooking it at over 3,500ft then you should reduce the temperature.

There's not that many places in the UK that are over 3,500ft, and I'd be surprised if you'd be able to cook a pizza at any of them.

There was an article in the local paper, the Vancouver Sun, about the fact that Vancouver is now the 13th least affordable city.
