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
