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:


Keep the Chin up! Impossible, right now it to be omitted here. awake Trulli

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.

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 Ãœbergeblienen 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

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.

Bye
