Hello Itsbeenlongnow,

As a Houstonian, please be prepared for numerous challenges, the first and foremost being the weather conditions. The snow season has just started and right now we are experiencing -6 degree celsius. Cost of living is about 20-25% higher than Houston across the board. Gas right now is $ 1.05 a litre and multiply this by 3.8 to get price per gallon. 2% milk is $ 4.65 a gallon compared to $ 3.45 in Houston. An Indian buffet I could get at $ 9.99 or less in Houston, Here it is about 12.99. 2 bedroom 2 bath rent is about $ 1,300 a month which includes heat and water. These are just a few examples.

I am still put in the hotel as my luggage from Houston is proabably arriving today. I don't know much about SAP jobs as I am in accounting and finance and my Houston company relocated me to Edmonton.

If anyone has any specific questions, please PM me and I will be glad to try and help out.
