Merry Christmas
Christmas Eve, the festival of festivals. The time has gone by pretty - A year ago I broke my head as I made six books on Japan's economy can craft a masterpiece of domestic work. I think it was the most stressful part of my school life and thus probably the most exhausting year's end.
is exactly one year later, all this history and the only thing I think I am doing is what I as a big Christmas dinner this evening to take me - fish or poultry? It just is different.
Although we now even have a decorated Christmas tree and some decorations, has Christmas "abroad" is simply a very different role. At least now we are all aware that habit 19 years, and memories firmly rooted in a personality.
In this sense I wish everyone, but especially my family, a wonderful Christmas. Unforgettable is probably all the times.

What Means Essayeur And Fondeur In Gold
From Subway to McDonald's
So it has worked: Since Monday I work in the cafeteria in the building next door. Not only that my work hours have changed completely, and the work itself is different. You could say I'm from the Sandwich Maker "has gone" to Pommesrüttler. Instead of muffins and yogurt now I am preparing hamburgers, french fries, hot dogs and a large selection of breakfast dishes for hungry customers. If there is time to do everything everyone gets assigned to a station and I got on Monday just 3 hours, turning meat balls, sausages and poultry on the grill.
Since the stations are also changed by time and thus each is Fry Cook times, the work is actually minimal variety. It is best to actually accept the orders, then one has in any case a little customer contact and often has the opportunity to talk with strangers German, as they read my name tag that I'm from the good old Büsum. Speaking Büsum before I came to Canada I was never aware of how my hometown is famous. Estimated 95% of the Germans I met in the past 3 months, know Büsum. The colleagues are now also very well on it and the job is much more fun than the last. Probably the only major drawback is probably that there will be no more free food as often as before. NaIO, but now that I get together a few more hours and I can probably afford that then just themselves.
However, I have still 3 days off which I am right now but will not complain really because I just can not go every day to go skiing. Today is also my quasi Sunday, I had in fact the last 3 days off and have used them to drive properly, of course. The ski area now looks very good, now believe are open over 70 runs and as I said already before, now run all 9 lifts. Is also a lot of snow came down lately, so there are now some funny powder snow slopes.
it comes to deep snow: As a week ago, a new elevator was opened and I was among the first ones are up to, the slopes were not driving up there, of course relative. When I then just fell in deep snow and one of my ski has come loose from the shoes, we have to 3 first dug well for 20 minutes in the snow until we found him ... When you sink into the snow, we put about to the navel in the snow. Was pretty funny, but on the other hand, also slightly scary. For a few days I venture down here actually, the black runs and I am so far been unhurt from it. Let's hope it stays that way!
On Thursday, they released Sandy and Phil about 70km from the east to visit Canmore. I have the two met on my first day in Vancouver just over 3 months now and since then we are actually still in contact. The two wanted to let's see how I live it and a little chat about "old times". I was definitely a fun afternoon on and in Lake Louise with you and hope that I could give you a good look. Oh, and yet will I hope strongly that the Christmas dinner on 26 still stands;)
That's it for these days first again, I'm pretty sure that we listen to us again before Christmas. If not, I wish you a merry Christmas. I hope you have the opportunity to eat at a table that is larger than our coffee table is 0.7 m. wrote

Troubleshooting My Frigidaire Dishwasher
three months
Almost a bit cheeky for 2 weeks to disagree. Satisfied I am not really, but what can you do.
Since yesterday it come so 3 months when I first entered the Canadian soil. Adventurous and knowing what the future will bring, I have been fighting since then, I believe, very successfully by a foreign country. Let us wonder what will bring the rest of the year Sun
The Ski World Cup, held in the past two weekends, I've taken a look yet smooth. What can I say - have a very boring thing I had to realize. In principle, it is almost as exciting as it would look on TV. One stands just behind the goal line and provides the athlete the last 15 seconds go down the mountain. The resltichen 1 ½ minutes I just happened to stop evenly on only one screen. This was, in my opinion, only positive on the whole Cup to stop once more and I was going by just my hours fully get.
The first two were Paychecks containing the complete joke. The only thing I could afford it, were about the purchases for 1 week. On Friday there's money again, and since the situation is indeed still is not super bright, but I will definitely begin at last to save a little something like this. If yes, finally, 'I had a lot of trips to the winter.
After the initial euphoria about my "great" working hours, show up now for just over a month, the dark side. Next to me there on the entire mountain really only 3-4 people who have the same working hours have. There are only 2 versions of my working day: I come home and just sleep in each of my apartment already. Or: I come home and everyone is already drunk and go. I must admit, both versions I can not find particularly exciting. For this reason, I have also asked to be moved to another layer or another job. I also would prefer a lot 5, rather than 4 days a week to work because I just need the money right now.
In the past 2 weeks I was driving the way, two times out of skis. Quite nice somehow to have a free pass for another ski area, roughly the size of Lake Louise Ski Area meets. While the snow was just first class for the first time, I was on the last Friday of the bad conditions quite surprised. I think I'm in 4 weeks skiing in Lake Louise is not so many scratches on my skis like it was created on one day at Sunshine Village ... I was really disappointed. Fortunately, I have no "high-end equipment and the few scratches yet able to get over pretty well. I will definitely go there again only if it snows again properly.
Temperatures have now returned to normal and slightly on most days there have during the day for example -15 ° C to -20 ° C. No Compared to -35 ° C. .. The Sunday barbecue is now held every week and really has leveled off at about 10 solid players. Funnily enough, my days off have been postponed and I'm always free on Saturday instead of Sunday now ... I will probably convince the others can not introduce a barbecue Saturday and can therefore only hope that I work on Monday in another layer. Since the boss has already indicated something today, so it is very likely that I just do without this week's grilling needs - again lucky.
The layer change will probably take me unfortunately, my big "Skifreiheit" but I shall be still 2-3 days off have to drive where I can. When driving, I realize that I'm only small so slow, but steady progress. Let's see how the change is still in the coming time. Unfortunately, there is still yet not very many runs and there is currently relatively little snow, the open slopes desöfteren pretty icy. Sunday, however, should be added to the already 3 open lifts, 3 additional. Let's see how the new tracks so.
Incredibly, that tomorrow in 2 weeks' time is Christmas Eve. Honestly, you are in some way already in the Christmas spirit? So I do not. Meanwhile, have even been a big Christmas tree with gifts placed in the cafeteria. This Christmas will probably be quite different than in all previous years - probably not just for me. In our living room we do have a dining table, but this is in the corner and is besieged by television and the microwave. We also have no chairs and small coffee table is definitely too small for a Christmas dinner. Moreover, "real" Christmas trees are prohibited due to fire danger. As I said already, just a totally different Christmas this year ...
I wish you a nice third schonmal Advent hope and you were on St. Nicholas richly rewarded. I will do my best here to be more active again, I never wanted to hold one of these blogs that appear to every 4 weeks whisked some shit is on paper ...

New Facebook Profile Cool Ideas
frozen
ages have passed since the last entry. This is due to the fact that here so slow creep of everyday life and, second, that I was a bit lazy, simple. Most entries do well and like to 1 ½ to 2 hours and when I go late in the evening, the decision was between sleeping and writing, I am within the last 2 weeks earlier chose's sleep - I apologize.
The work in the biggest ski area in the Canadian Rocky Mountains is still good and simple - but unfortunately not working right now rich. I still have three times a week off work and on the four days I've just come across no more than 5 hours per day. There simply have the customers in the early season. Who is so stupid and runs for 1 ½ slopes on a skiing holiday? Improvement is in sight: This weekend begins the great skiing World Cup men here in Lake Louise. Team Germany was spotted yesterday apparently already in the cafeteria - maybe I can dust off an autograph to me unknown people. I'm pretty sure the race on Saturday or Sunday broadcast on German television ZDF in the first or to be So off to the TV!
The work itself has not changed really great, I still prepare food overpriced for the next few days, which are then bought little. Who pays and $ 8.65 for a cold sandwich, when 3 yards gets a warm hamburger for $ 7.70? Two out of four days the way I work well alone, because my shift supervisors do absolutely nothing. Ah, I was wrong, one hour so that they are spending more to cook something mega expensive. But is not wrong, because I otherwise would get a few hours. As I touch my savings right now really does not want is going to celebrate almost taboo. But it definitely coming in the next few weeks other times.
Since I have such a relaxed working hours, I had run in recent extremely long time to ski. By now 19 open days, I was driving about 14 times I think. Soon would also open up more and more tracks, for example, a week ago, it has to go through nearly three days snowed heavily and brought a total of 40-50cm of snow. Without waterproof boots review is therefore nothing more. Very unusual for a German. Just as unusual, the temperatures are the rule here now. Since it yesterday on the mountain -35 ° C had (felt -50 ° C), the gondola ride was not simply and has a lot of people, including me, spoils, quite the ski day. Even down here in the village outside my front door yesterday afternoon it had just 30 ° C. When I last night the trash was brought out on the evening are smoothly glued my fingers to the dustbin - luckily I got it early enough notice and could prevent worse;)
What I particularly good addition to the working hours of my Finding work is that I actually have on my work days only breakfast at home. As soon as I am over 16 clock at work, I can actually eat for free with sandwiches and other items. This I can certainly save some money and can easily survive with only 5 hours work a day in the following house:
Since we are on the large balcony off the living room have two rather large gas grills, I decided the "barbecue Sunday" to introduce. Even if we only last Sunday to 3 were, I will feel that as more and more people jumped on the house. Was somehow funny at -25 ° C and snow out in the cold its steaks sizzle. To give you even get an idea of how cold it is: While the steaks were grilled, is my bread and my water is frozen on the table fast. I have a good feeling that here still a very significant event in the near future will be.
Today I decided not even to me to go skiing, because at these temperatures, just not as much fun is mobilizing. I also was able to use the time you once again to keep up to date. From tonight I'm almost the weekend again and then go well tomorrow, Thursday travel to the neighboring ski Sunshine Village ski. This At the moment, has already opened a few more runs and I the opportunity to use a buddy from Banff again.
Oh, here a view from my window:

Poems With Background
thought the snow
Friday night, normal running out of time in order to switch off and probably into the early hours of the morning - -
not in this place. What does it mean to have the weekend when we already sleep every day and have fun? Especially as the approximately 300 other employees out of here each on different days, and for this reason each day celebration in any one of the apartments here in the largest wooden building in North America takes place. Friday night, normal running out of time in order to switch off and probably into the early hours of the morning - -
It's a completely different world in which I am currently located. Without stress, problems and concerns of the day begins in one of the most breathtaking National Parks the earth. When I look out the window I see snow-capped peaks as far as the eye. After a leisurely breakfast with the Smurfs and Bugs Bunny, it comes with the company's shuttle bus that picks me right outside the front door, straight up the mountain. are
The initial problems have completely disappeared and thoughts of class in the past 2 months, I enjoy the: already I'm in the elevator and enjoy in less than 10 minutes following Outlook - Short slipped into the boots, with work colleagues a little chat sunny descent into the valley. While the day is flying on a sizzling, is pleased to forward to the next.
Even though I currently due to low working hours will be a millionaire - I'm just incredibly grateful to be able to stay for a long time in one of the most enchanting places on earth.
In this context - is a special greeting to my family

How Many Calories Does A Stir Fry Have
The Sandwich Maker
A week has passed now since I'm back in Lake Louise. Once, as I said on Monday first hosted the extremely boring introductory seminars, I've got first direct 2 days off. In the 2 days I have quite a lot of laid-back, simply because nobody from my apartment in those days and had the mountain yes not yet been opened. Thursday I was so again in the morning around 9 antanzen clock in the kitchen of the "Whiskey Jack Lodge. After my boss and have my "supervisor" briefly, we were also divided into 3 groups directly. A group of cooks in the cafeteria of the Ten Peaks Lodge, the second group is in the kitchen of the restaurant "Powder Keg" and my group is virtually the "preparatory group". My job then is Sandwiches, muffins, cakes, salads, bagels, wraps and a few other things for each of the next few days to prepare. The work is very pleasant and the best is simply that our group late shifts. Sounds may work a little boring 4 or 5 days a week from 16 bis clock 0 clock at night, but has a huge advantage: The ski lifts are only 9 clock every day - 16 clock open, which means I can every single day in the season skiing when the go with the hours that way. Such good times work has otherwise no other department in the entire mountain was told.
Since the snow at the moment but very holding back is the ski area is currently quite empty and it is open only 1 of a total of 139 runs. For this reason I have this week not as good as ever have to work. Thursday was the only day where I was really time 8 hours there. Friday there were only 1 ½ hours and Saturday 3 The good news is that even if you work 5 minutes, an automatic 3 hours written down. I was not necessarily sad, but I should go Friday after 1 ½ hours. It is just unbelievable right now to do little, believe it not been sold by 100 we made Thursday from the 250 sandwiches. Presumably, the Übergeblienen tomorrow away to people and I can once again properly save money. Generally, one can eat during the work time to time some of the things and all drinks such as Sprite and tea are free. My colleagues and especially my supervisor are super good mood and a 30-minute "must pause to loose by 60 minutes.
in the last 3 days I also had the opportunity to directly drive the skis times. Friday was indeed the opening, which was not celebrated very great. I've also directly by 9 clock in the morning with plunged into the fray and after I drove one minutes, as noted ultra bad I am. Have to think about 3km long easy descent ages used and certainly put me 4 or 5 times beautiful in the snow. Is just a totally different world, even if in an indoor ski runs down the 400-meter runs or really even standing on a real mountain. Apparently, my feet are somehow a different form. My left foot started just after 3 or 4 minutes incredible to hurt, so I just stick with 2 rounds on Friday because I had to work by 14 clock again.
Saturday then I have slept quite a long time because I had to work only by 14 clock anyway, and knew that I had today (Sunday) the whole day was free and can really ski. The work was then to well over 18 short clock again, because there are just to do absolutely nothing. Today I had then, as I said, the whole day off and Leon as well. That means we have spent the afternoon on the mountain and had a really good day. After each round, I notice just how I am better and it thus also by a few more Brings fun. Short clock 16, during our last run, then again it has really begun to snow heavily and on the slopes you could hardly see nor where it breaks forth, because even a lot of fog came about. The last run was still the best, because the track was just too empty just before the end. Fortunately, my feet have today with a little less hurt than Friday and driving alone has therefore already been more fun.
have
This week I again extremely good working hours: Mon, Tue, Wed, Sat each of 16 bis clock 0 clock, so 3 days off and still I am a lot more can go skiing. If tomorrow I may take a couple of sandwiches, which is probably a really good week. =) So I care
can get the "real" snow, so we finally have more time departures. But until that happens, I OVR first time at the lube and a 'still happy my sandwiches.
Oh, and tomorrow I'm already an incredible 2 months in Canada - even violent as quickly time has passed.
always happy greeting from the author of this page

That means we have spent the afternoon on the mountain and had a really good day. After each round, I notice just how I am better and it thus also by a few more Brings fun. Short clock 16, during our last run, then again it has really begun to snow heavily and on the slopes you could hardly see nor where it breaks forth, because even a lot of fog came about. The last run was still the best, because the track was just too empty just before the end. Fortunately, my feet have today with a little less hurt than Friday and driving alone has therefore already been more fun.
have
This week I again extremely good working hours: Mon, Tue, Wed, Sat each of 16 bis clock 0 clock, so 3 days off and still I am a lot more can go skiing. If tomorrow I may take a couple of sandwiches, which is probably a really good week. =) So I care
can get the "real" snow, so we finally have more time departures. But until that happens, I OVR first time at the lube and a 'still happy my sandwiches.
Oh, and tomorrow I'm already an incredible 2 months in Canada - even violent as quickly time has passed.
always happy greeting from the author of this page

Large Cyst On Dogs Tail
No more travels ...
Evenin,
almost 1 week has passed since the last entry, the time to devote the last few days so a few thoughts.
As you know, I am on the Sunday after a 9-hour drive arrived in Calgary and had a great stay. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the house, but as I've already said last time, the house was simply furnished only incredibly luxuriously. My host parents were really nice and somehow you felt after the 6 days as a family member. After a first good night and I have Leon on Monday first Calgary Downtown uncertain and made us look around especially for ski equipment. What to say about Calgary? Compared to Edmonton a lot before the city comes to larger and more modern. Especially downtown was just too pimped and capitalized. On the other hand, I took her from the Edmonton area, especially affected beautiful by the Saskatchewan and several parks, a lot.
right on the same day I also have found new skis. Have shot a really good deal and I'm completely within 6 days all purchased together for the winter season. Ultimately, I stayed in my budget and also very happy about it. Wednesday I helped my host mother, then a few hours cleaning out the garage, as it hosts a monthly garage sale. The entire profit goes to a village in Sudan and in recent years has sent thousands of dollars to Africa. The things they sell, you are always given by friends, etc. so they always have enough goods for added to its sales. Only through donations from her, it was possible a school for 600 children to build incredible - a great thing in my opinion!
Thursday was again a special day in Canada. We decided an NHL game of the Calgary Flames visit. 2 days ago we had got hold of cheap tickets worst category and are therefore driven to $ 22 per ticket for the game in the "Scotia Bank Saddledome. While we were sitting almost under the roof, it was just a super cool experience. While the sauce went to a gate of the Flames only really going on, prevailed in the period in which there were no gates, almost absolute silence. Also had you get the feeling that half the people go there just to eat and to chat with his neighbor about any bells and whistles. Well anyway, Leon and I were real "fans" and have kept their every second! Ultimately, it has unfortunately not enough and has to Calgary a 3-1 lead at the end still lost to Colorado Avalanche 5:6. But it was always full of action.
Friday was first then work on a building. Leon helped my host father for several weeks to renovate a house and he asked me if I had not even feel like times a day to help. 5 of 6 hours we have spent extremely heavy Abdämmplatten of the to haul road behind the house. Was pretty tiring but at least we had to laugh a lot and always at the end there was then some money. The evening we will round off relatively comfortable, because we wanted to place it in the next day the bus to Lake Louise.
Thus was Saturday then virtually the day of days. We were in our future accommodation for the next six months probably. The 2-hour bus trip flew by and suddenly we were then already in the huge property of our employers. In addition to our 7-person-WG is still 36 more residential units, each with 5-7 people. Probably saw everything in a huge wooden building. Our room is actually quite cool. It's just like one imagines, a not particularly large, but adequate room with 2 beds and 2 cabinets.
There are also 2 bathrooms, each with a shower and an unfortunately somewhat small living room with two couches and a small television. So for $ 8 per night, we can not really complain. Here in the accommodation there is a huge living room with 2 pool tables, and Tichtennis and a large TV. And in the 3rd Floor there is even an in-house gym. already is a good feeling that after nearly two months his big backpack sometimes can eliminate completely. Of this we have naturally immediate use and are made in the first gehitchhiked located 60km east of Banff to buy cheaper. That was the most expensive grocery shopping in my life: Together, Leon and I spent about $ 250 and hope that the stuff now first for 2 weeks or so is sufficient. Oh, and then the trip home was very fun. At the end of my backpack weighed about 30kg and was almost not wearable. But at least we now have things like first 12kg pasta / rice. Oh, and is due to high pressure in my backpack and then burst a nice first Coke can around you sometimes get an idea of how fully loaded was the backpack.
When we got back to 22 clock already 3 big Halloween parties in Lake Louise in progress. Although we are now the first Times had to work, we are still gone off because you are a North American Halloween may never be missed. Smart as we are, we are of course due to cost and time reasons, emerged with no costume and were on both parties on which we were pretty much the only ones who were so stupid. Apart from the fact that it was a funny feeling that pretty much everyone was dressed up and one does not, there were still two extremely good parties. I can only advise everyone, Halloween time to join in North America and so smart, to be sure then to dress in any case a bit ...
After a short night, the day had come for my first time to travel should end. Against 08:15 clock it went up by shuttle bus to the mountain to launch seminars. A total of 7 hours we sat on our chairs and listened to different people at lectures. Was relatively boring, but in the end, savvy stop evenly, the last idiot that the ski resort operates totally customer focused. Who would have thought? Funnily enough, I have already the weekend again and must be back on Thursday to work again. Already somehow unusual, since the grand opening is on Friday and none of us so really knows what he has to do it exactly. A bit more training for the big day would have certainly not harmed - but you will . See I'm looking forward on what would be worth a total of 2 months of pure pleasure to finally earn some money again. Incidentally, although I was only on rumreisen, I've spent only a fraction of my money and lived very cost effective. I can hardly imagine that one can get by with even less money in 8 weeks than I did. In 8 weeks I have finally a total of only 3 (!) Times paid for my accommodation. I must admit that I a) have had relatively good luck, but I have b) extremely well planned and anticipatory. You have to be a millionaire, then, to learn about different places and cultures. Just a small note to the person that it consider a similar time Adventure plan.
I will get back probably after my first two days back to work right word, but perhaps earlier. We will see.

Contemporay Chirstmas Decorations
When I slept in my clothes
Exhausted and happy I am, therefore, since Saturday evening, again a part of civilization. The canoe trip was simply turned off and only extremely well the Canadian experience par excellence. But I think I first tell the story from the beginning.
clock Friday morning around 8:30 we started to say at a canoe rental in Saskatoon. It went relatively fast by the hand and we have just thrown the canoe on the roof of Nick's car. The next goal was Waskesiu then what about 250km north of Saskatoon is located in Prince Albert National Park. There we had to then announce that we go canoeing. It must be the fact this way: If we log off us within 48 hours there again, we are still missing and we will look after us. The canoe route was 50 km from Waskesiu namely further away and was thus cut off from civilization. In the entire area have been otherwise, no other canoeists stopped as it was outside just very cold and the season for canoeing normal is over. Oh, and besides, we still had to read through the "You're in black bear country" brochures, as there is teeming with them.
around 12:30 clock we finally got into the canoe and the journey could begin. 2 days, where we should sit together for 5 hours in canoes were so ahead of us. After about 15 minutes we had to get off and straight back, because we change the river because of rapids had. Thus the canoe was called by a transport system over 1km lead to far to the nearest river. Has worked quite well and then it really took off on the right route.
Although the weather for the time being not very good-looking, this changed asbald about half an hour we were heading. The sun actually did come out again for about 2 hours and really nice bescherrte us a relatively comfortable Ride through one of the largest lakes probably I've ever seen in my life. As the first major lake was then overcome, the journey began to be just breathtaking. As we paddled there was not even such an incredible silence - think something I have never come across before. You just heard absolutely nothing, just peace and beautiful nature around you. In addition, the water was so crystal clear and all the clouds were reflected in this.
lost this time around we follow the map when Nick asked me this about him but about his paddle to the front to give you ... .. you have to imagine such as this in a movie where someone something super "important " such as a 1-million-euro lottery ticket loses by a Windböhe. We then laughed about 1 hour non-stop because we could not believe how stupid we were. We have found the right track but still, and came shortly before 17 clock at our "campsite" at. It was a kind of peninsula, with a fireplace where already a lot of fire wood for us was available. Fortunately, this has not rained and the day before, since the entire timber would otherwise have been soaked. The fire was in fact extremely important to us, as it already loose in the evening just 1 ° C was out.
The fire was then quite quickly thanks to birch bark ignites and kept us warm around until 23:30 clock. We have determined six hours just sitting around, eating canned soup and talked a lot. Against 20 clock again it was really creepy - about 5 meters away from us suddenly it started like crazy several times to rustle in the bushes. We are then startled directly and have the flashlight turned on. Some black animal in size of an average dog staring at us for about 2 seconds before it disappeared into the darkness. To be honest we had to be pretty scared because it just as good a hungry black bear could have been and we've seen a couple of hours before, just 5 wolves running around together. Fortunately, we were but then spared by wild animals and were able to clock in freezing temperatures to 23:30 in our tent put to sleep. I believe it was the first time I've slept in my entire clothes, because it was so incredibly cold.
next morning we are already at 7 clock then crawled out of the tent. And what happened? It has snowed all night and it was even still in the snow. Still pretty tired was a damn cold and then of course had in mind that the weather could completely umschwanken to rain and we had finally relaxed 4 hour drive ahead of us. Well, just another 1-2 reingepiffen muesli bar and off we went. After 15 minutes We then came back on to a large lake, we had to cross completely.
Meanwhile there was also very windy and the lake began to beat waves. What we were glad when we finished the last stage. It was just 10 times harder to come up with a strong head wind and waves ahead.
is overcome, since the route to not only complete with a canoe, we had to haul the canoe, two times each for about 500 meters. Was not it just as easily as we each had about 15kg of luggage and the canoe was just damn hard. But we have mastered it! At about 12 clock we were pretty soaked and frozen by slightly at the end of the route. Both of course, has already thoughts are with the warm flat Nick then got the first car and wanted to start as we invite our things. He has then accidentally closed the car from inside and slammed the door ... ... Since we were so -. Exhausted after two hard days with big eyes staring at a locked hot car. Since we were told how, about 50km away from the nearest people and the middle of the wilderness, of course, there is no mobile phone network we have broken about 1 ½ hours to the head what do we do now. After countless miserable attempts to open the car somehow with a thin stick through the window from the inside, determined we are to embark on one of the rather small rear side windows. Because our arms are not quite as fit, it worked very well this time with a stick and we were finally able to put in your car and drive the 3 hours home.
Although in the end we just had bad luck quite yet, the entire trip was just extremely horny. It's exactly what I wanted to do once and can recommend any change, even a quasi "winter" to go canoeing. Is simply an unforgettable experience!
I'm pretty tired, I adopt me for the last 2 days just very briefly. Yesterday morning I am driven by carpooling from Saskatoon to Calgary. So I am again extremely favorable for only $ 20 down about 620km and then came in the evening in my new home for the week. Leon had pre-arranged accommodation for me - I live now virtually at a friend of the family when they happen. Really very nice people with whom I home straight and the house is simply amazing. I think I can step on a lavishly decorated house never in my life. Really every corner in every detail in any way set up and generally any area teeming with antique pieces.
Today I am then went to Leon a few hours through downtown and I've finally covered with of ski for the winter! I've shot a couple of great bargains and just need ski boots. Ultimately, I keep everything together even under $ 700 and that includes everything from gloves to winter boots and skis. So very very cheap and also new!
Saturday's then back to Lake Louise in my room for the next 6-7 months. I'm looking forward to even go to extreme's Ski and hope that it will be a very nice time. Monday is my first day at work directly and on 5 November, is the ski resort. Are therefore some very interesting days!
I hope you all are doing well home.
Any feedback?

Hot Flashes And Left Abdominal Pain
From steaks and Biebern
It could not be better. I had the last few days back a lot of fun. Tuesday I'm first ran for 5 hours through Saskatoon and have meanwhile even managed to make the small skyline identified.
to 18 clock I was with my couchsurfing host Rissy agreed to play squash. Unfortunately, my hosts had no car and so I first ran fine for one hour squash court. I think I should not need to mention that I have won again, of course * cough *. Was definitely really funny and was good Černý is the chance to once again really. Next day, I am then got up late and then against 14 clock with Rissy's man on the "driving range" gone. Is somehow unbelievable how many people play golf. It is only within a radius of 5km to Saskatoon about 5-6 golf courses. The evenings have I with my first host in Saskatoon spent quite calm and went to sleep so I always relatively early.
I could stay in total "only" 2 days at Rissy and Garret, I looked for another couch surfer in advance for the following days. Has once again worked out great and Nick, my new host, I was then about 18 clock yesterday also picked up right outside the front door. I've got me right away with him extremely well understood and "babble" we waste the whole day and some have a lot of fun. It's super fitting that he currently has 5 days free and doing various plans for the next few days. After my arrival, we have first thrown incredibly delicious steaks on the grill. Those things were just huge, and each weighing about 450g. To this end there was probably the best barbecue sauce I have ever eaten in my life, as well as extremely good noodles in cheese sauce. Divine - to once again have something right between the teeth!
Today Lunch we went for about 2 hours gone on so-called "Beaver Creek" hike. Was really a very unusual landscape with thousands of gnawed trees. We usually rely simply the marked trails and have then literally fought through a lot of super scrub - I do not know how many of thorn bushes, I had some hang after 2 hours in my pants. It was really good fun, which mainly is due to the constant fear that one had to fall to 4-5 meters deep in the river because we fought right on the "cliff" through the bushes.
As luck
it to do so is also an avid squash Nick player and he has suggested that we play but just a little match. We have "best of 3" played in advance and agreed that the loser has to wash off in the next few days, the whole dish. Well ... I will still strongly hope for him that he will have fun;)
Returning home, we have again grilled. Nick suggested that we make ourselves Chicken Burger. And what can I say - they were just incredibly good! Oh, have I tried yesterday for the first time real Canadian maple syrup - tastes delicious real.
morning Nick and I then do a 2-day Canoe Trip take about 300km north of Saskatoon. Depending on whether one of his friends has not a sleeping bag for me of camp we will not either or. took place later than the next blog entry you will find the form in which the trip!
So long,
Trulli

Those things were just huge, and each weighing about 450g. To this end there was probably the best barbecue sauce I have ever eaten in my life, as well as extremely good noodles in cheese sauce. Divine - to once again have something right between the teeth!
Today Lunch we went for about 2 hours gone on so-called "Beaver Creek" hike. Was really a very unusual landscape with thousands of gnawed trees. We usually rely simply the marked trails and have then literally fought through a lot of super scrub - I do not know how many of thorn bushes, I had some hang after 2 hours in my pants. It was really good fun, which mainly is due to the constant fear that one had to fall to 4-5 meters deep in the river because we fought right on the "cliff" through the bushes.
As luck
it to do so is also an avid squash Nick player and he has suggested that we play but just a little match. We have "best of 3" played in advance and agreed that the loser has to wash off in the next few days, the whole dish. Well ... I will still strongly hope for him that he will have fun;)
Returning home, we have again grilled. Nick suggested that we make ourselves Chicken Burger. And what can I say - they were just incredibly good! Oh, have I tried yesterday for the first time real Canadian maple syrup - tastes delicious real.
morning Nick and I then do a 2-day Canoe Trip take about 300km north of Saskatoon. Depending on whether one of his friends has not a sleeping bag for me of camp we will not either or. took place later than the next blog entry you will find the form in which the trip!
So long,
Trulli

Mysore Mallege Free Foucking Clips
Hitchhiking experiences
the 4 days since the last entry are simply passed rapidly. I never really felt that the last entries had a longer time period than 2 days. But appearances nunmal clouds.
After my visit to the museum on Thursday to end the opening times failed, I decided to just make up for this Friday. This time I decided however to tackle the 6km by bus, because at 11:30 clock just too late to work was. Finally, I wanted to not resist in front of closed doors.
In principle, the museum is quite nice, there are four different departments, which must be mentioned that the department is the "first nations" simply overloaded incredible. But in this department we would have provided one really reads all about it through eight hours to stay loose. To some I like better, the animal world, which divided into different geographic zones such as the prairies, mountains or the northern coniferous forests was. Quite nice to look at was then the "bug room" with a variety of insects from around the world. The interactive children's area, and artistic photographs I have finally given little attention. First, because it was already 16:45 clock and also because it did not really interest me. Route from the Museum to Dave's apartment I ran back but stayed with sunshine - Again, a nice 2 hour trip.
evening we both were then invited to a party, hosted by another couch surfer. The house in which he lives was just super crazy - they divide to 2 somehow a fairly old house with 6 rooms and a large basement, which was set up super chaotic. Most lewd was that he in his bedroom has a button with which it can operate outside of the house a school bell. Why this is there but he knows himself and has not ensured in any case for a lot of laughs. In itself, the party was once again super cool and gave you the opportunity to meet different people from different countries. What is not so "sutje" was that at night I run at 0 ° C for about 50 minutes after the house had, but hey, it was still funny.
Saturday I again slept really well and had no plans in principle. A few days earlier But Dave had told me that he is quite often play golf and we are in the afternoon then to a "driving range" driven by a few neat balls to hurl through the air. Would say the first 30% of the balls I have botched quite nice, as in golf simply very much technology is needed. Then we went to old-style but neat Zirkelbach uphill and I have the following balls almost beaten up almost all of the 200 meter mark. It does make a lot of fun and I can tell you it's definitely something I would later repeat in Germany again - of course not only on the driving range ...
evening we were from another couch surfer in a penthouse in the middle of downtown to the NHL Derby vs Edmonton. Calgary "invited. Already breathtaking, the town in the 14th Stock to watch at night. In addition, there was a huge TV, I guess the 52 ". Unfortunately, Edmonton was ultimately lost to a 3-2 lead still 3:5 and then the evening ended pretty soon after the game was 23 against clock to an end. Oh, and Leon and his "host brother" came from Calgary on Saturday to pay a visit to the water park in the Mall Westedmonton a visit. During the game they came over and still in the apartment and said hello briefly. Was quite nice the kid again vollzuquatschen in German.
Since the two have spent the night in a hotel, we had an appointment for Sunday morning for a walk downtown, because they had no time to stop by there. Well, we think only about 30 minutes in the area ran around before we went down again for an hour in the mall, because they still have not been there really. After a snack and dozens of German talks, which saw Leon's friend, of course not a word, they are against 14 clock then again set out for Calgary.
have at home Dave, a friend of his and I still need the board game "Ticket to Ride: Europe "played. A fabulous board game that I can lay recommend highly to anyone. The game ended relatively quickly, as was scheduled for 19 clock a couch surfing community dinner in Chinatown. It was really cool, ultimately we were 9 Couch Surfer (hosts and surfers), who gathered in a truly delicious Chinese restaurant. There's nothing like "sweet & sour chicken with rice".
Today was my week in Edmonton and then again around and I decided a few days to Saskatoon in Saskatchewan to hitchhike. (Hitchhiking) I've made it a lot in advance and considerable thought - after all, is about 530 km east of Saskatoon Edmonton removed and thus corresponds to almost half of the north-south route in Germany. As you can read my entry, you know by now that nothing happened to me and it was a very good decision herzureisen in this way. First, because it was a really interesting experience and also because I saved $ 50 and sometimes loose about 3 hours otherwise additional bus ride.
Dave has me in the morning to 8, about 15km east clock let out of town on a highway, and thus began the wait. I had tinkered me in advance but a sign that says "Saskatoon", in the end you could see this poor, however, and it has brought me nothing really. I was about 40 minutes with my clothes on the roadside before a young family stopped and asked me did I want to go out. (I finally had the sign in his hand, haha) As I said Saskatoon, I got a wonderful response, "Good, that's where we're heading to." The next 5 ½ hours did I then sat next to very nice people from Saskatoon, which ultimately brought me directly to the front door of my couchsurfing hosts. Simply brilliant. I also got along very well with the family - they live only about 6-7 blocks from here and have invited me but just to stay with you if I do not even know where I'm coming. Also, I must borrow the next few days her mountain bike and can again explore a few trails. My room at my new couchsurfing hosts is again very horny and I'm right next door or a 2nd large room with couch and TV for me where I am currently staying.
As you can see my winning streak was only interrupted so entertaining: the farm experience. I will stay probably until Friday in Saskatoon and will then probably go to Regina, which is the capital of Saskatchewan.
I would be the way of ideas, suggestions or praise is not averse to ...

How Long Does Anchovy Paste Last
Back to the roots
A good feeling to finally be back in couple! The last days were great again normally. Tuesday I had planned to visit at last once the largest mall in the world - the Mall Westedmonton And what can I say, to be honest I would have imagined a lot bigger and more interesting. While it is somewhat amusing that the thing has its own leisure and water park, but that's it already. In the mall's stores that were then all sorts of me with my travel budget was rather less interested and therefore my only purchase a delicious soft ice cream from Dairy Queen. In addition to these two parks, there are still 2 for entertainment indoor mini-golf and a bowling alley. In addition, 2 times daily by a sea lion show, which I of course could not miss it!
Well, she was so special back then ... but after all it was free. Ultimately, I was disappointed with the mall a bit, but the evening program saved the day. Thus, Dave and I had gone bowling in a huge bowling hall, the 36 tracks. Although I have not really played badly, with an average of 130 pins, Dave was the better. Unbelievable what a genius he has momentum and I therefore presents 3-0. On average, he has thrown 170 pins .... Only one game was really just once, at which we in the end only 1 pin diverged.
Wednesday, I was allowed to borrow will be super-professional mountain bike. He goes some way every 2nd Day after work loose sometimes 25km. After 20 km along the Saskatchewan on various trails, I was ready. Although the scenery here in Northern Alberta is mostly flat, the trails were specially prepared so that it constantly goes up and down. When I got home in the evening then, it rang for 30 minutes at the door - another couch surfer came from the States for a night visit. Originally from Germany, but eventually made a semester in Arizona and is then stuck in the States. It is then doctorate in geography in the United States and has subsequently worked 4 years for NASA in Washington DC. Quite impressive anyway. In the evening we went went to a bar and have a few rounds of pool play. Dave has arrived back home then have a few stories from his travels, tells as well as images shown. We talked determined 2 hours over his 6-day trip to North Korea's dictatorial reign, simply incredible that he has attended there. Incredibly, that year in Pyongyang are only about 2,000 tourists. Also in the pictures it looks like a different world - propaganda everywhere, no cars, no phones, few North Koreans oppressed ... .. be honest I would be happy to look at me even once on your own as long as North Korea still exists in this form.
Today I wanted to be really into the "Royal Museum of Alberta. Only way I've divided my time something bad. After a hearty breakfast at 11 clock in the morning I made my way to the 12:30 clock museum. Because I feel like a walk had to make, I'm walk there, of course. . ... Well at 17:15 clock, I arrived at the museum and its opening times are as follows: 9 clock in the morning - 17 clock. Of course I knew already to 14 clock that I can be the museum has to turn out well today when I look at the path on the map look like that, but but I wanted to see it at least from the outside. So I when I arrived at the museum, still in walk-mood, I'm just completely gone even further by downtown and on the other side of the river get out of the city. According to google maps I am now an incredible 20.6 km run on foot and was therefore only in the dark again at Dave's apartment. Was really a good day and I've seen a lot of Edmonton - especially views of the skyline at night.
Sorry, looks a bit blurry, but still good as I think.
Now I sit straight on the couch and grudge 'my feet a Pause. The rest of the day is probably lazy cozy. For a weekend I have no explicit plans, but I know that Leon would probably come a day in Edmonton. Let's see what it is.
For those who have not noticed, there are on the right side of a new section called "cities visited. On the map can be my way now even followed visually. google maps is already something nice.

Decorative Telephones Landline
Escape
For days I've longed for the Monday. Even if it came over on the blog more like as if it were on the farm not so bad, I must confess that I I held back with my contributions fairly. Especially the last few days I hated extreme. Not only that the work is so incredibly boring and shitty, I could not play the whole family suffer. Especially the mother was a very evil beast, they treated the voluntary workers, just like dirt and read constantly hang out "big boss". How many times I was about her fiddling really sleep the opinion, then moved back but still, I knew exactly knew that the following days would then be crappy. Constantly you were flamed by it in a degrade sound, one should not do this and that. In order
times to be a little more detail: If I was to use times longer than 20 minutes in the right house for wireless, I was immediately angela bert, I do not please all day rumhocken there is, I do not even live there. When I have a day not even eat the disgusting lunch, but instead went to my "hole" have to eat the bread that I was given for breakfast, I was angela bert extreme that I kindly to eat the food on the table is - the bread and cheese I have received crappy I can only eat for breakfast. Also flew in the house permanently this shit birds through the house and even sat at the table.
The bed, air mattress, was when I arrived still covered by previous guests and was very fuzzy. The water that came from the faucet stank of sulfur incredible (same smell like rotten eggs) and next door in front of the shower in the living containers, I have discovered smooth maggots ... .. Think that should be enough for you to get an impression of my last week ....
Since I knew that I certainly do not go along with the three weeks, I would have asked Friday a friend from Edmonton but please tell me on Monday morning to pick up. Before I even contacted couch surfers from Edmonton and directly at the First It has worked directly CouchSurfing for 7 days. I have the family on the farm, where of course not know in advance that I would cut off Monday because I had no idea what they would do otherwise. So I decided to them 10 minutes before my departure to be modest. Said - done. It went very smoothly and then all day at 10 clock in the morning then the horror was over ....
to WWOOFING I can only say that I've probably had quite a bit unlucky with my hosts ... even if it was a pretty lousy experience, but somehow it was an experience for life.
At 11 clock we arrived in Edmonton and then as I was about 12 Host on my couch surfing. His name is Dave and what can I say, is simply a stall here only first class: Extremely spacious, private rooms with clean bed, high-speed wireless internet and only 2 blocks from the "party-mile away. As Dave all day today in Calgary to visit a friend, I still can not get to know him really, but I'm pretty sure he is a super mood. He lived in 9 different countries around the world (at least 3 months) and has visited 56 different countries around ever - a real trip veteran. Just as I was in Vancouver again this time without hesitation, just down the house keys in hand, what can we say, it is simply his great sense of community that is based heavily on trust. If you ever have the opportunity once somewhere to "surf" on a couch (www.couchsurfing.org) then uses this opportunity! Is definitely an unforgettable experience.
I was at about 13 clock alone, I decided to first Edmonton to explore on your own. Compared to Vancouver, Edmonton seems a very sad, naturally poor city to be - very much in the style of a U.S. city with many industrial areas. Is also not surprising, because Edmonton is the "oil city" in Canada. About 3-4 hours north of Edmonton is in fact the second largest oil reserves the world. I'm definitely the first Saskatchewan (a huge river) moved along and finally ended up in Downtown. That Edmonton is the capital of Alberta, today was just incredible void in downtown. I think I've seen run on some days more people than today by heather by Edmonton. But that's probably because that is also a national holiday in Canada today. (Thanksgiving)
Next week, I would still like to travel to Saskatoon and Regina before returning back to Lake Louise. Let's see 'what it is!
I've finally uploaded all the pictures of the last few weeks in different folders.
Because I think desöfteren on my posts and I'm not sure which is better, I throw the question just in the room: Dear rather short and frequent posts (about every 2 days) or long, possibly more profound with pictures? (Approx. 4 days) The contributions 800-1000 words I've ever (almost) always require written, usually just a lot of time, but I have a feeling that they are simply better.
I dedicate a special greeting with this image of my family.
Enjoy the photos are some pretty good here.
