looking for rats and pathogens in Vancouver

So, Tuesday I start my final practicum with Vancouver Coastal Health. It will be a big learning curve in the navigation department. I'm not a huge fan of driving into downtown Vancouver, I usually avoid it at all cost. When I HAVE TO go downtown I usually try to take the Skytrain. See my problem is that I need two other people with me to get around Vancouver. I need a navigator and someone in front of me to push pedestrians out of the way. Living in Burnaby I prefer to travel east into Coquitlam, PoCo, New West, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and even out to Abbotsford before I chose to actually drive into Vancouver. Luckily my time with the CFIA has allowed me to get to know Vancouver better than I did 4 months ago. Tuesday will be a much earlier start than my former 6 minute drive to the CFIA. I'm also looking forward to re-learning all of the Provincial legislation and trying to forget Canadian Legislation :( Hopefully I'll try not to sleep in on Tuesday like this guy.
