I know it’s much, but take the time to read it, ‚cause I take the time to write it.
So... These are the first news from Canada:
So I arrived here on Friday, there were a few complications but more or less it worked out. Sainte-Adèle is not a big place. The center of the town is a crossroad where 4 streets meet in the shape of an X. Therefore you really can’t get lost. There are two big super markets, a theatre, a video rental and a Subway. That’s about it. This is not the hometown of life. There is supposed to be a bowling place somewhere around here, but I haven’t found it yet.
At the mentioned crossing there is one street that goes up a hill, now guess where I live... Hills only suck if you go the up, downwards it’s ok. That’s especially great, because my employer is at the other side of the town. Walking = half an hour. Up the hills that’s exeptional fun, as I figured out today. I live in a small white house and when I cross the garden, about 30 metres, I reach the lake. Unfortunately summer is over, but when the lake freezes in winter, this is gonna be so cool. At the beginning I had two people sharing this place with me, a French and a German. But now I have the house all for my own because the French guy returned to France and the German is touring Quebec for his holidays. But he was so kind and left me his laptop. The day after my arrival, not far from here a bridge collapsed for no reason and fell on the highway, 5 people dead, 6 injured.
So far, Canada is kind of ok, except for the fact that everything and anything is in French. People are nice, the guy who owns this place is cool, food is good, downloads are legal, the beer is ok but causes head aches, stores are open 7 days a week 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., the only thing is, that it’s getting cold by now. Today was y first day at work and I already worked 3 ½ hours overtime. Well, it’s the high season when everyone wants their games to be ready by x-mas. I learned today that it sucks to play PSP, but what am I supposed to do? Except for the overtime I can’t complain yet.
Unfortunately I don’t get as much US TV as I’d like to get but the most important thing is that I can watch Lost an Wednesdays. The rest is gonna change once I have a computer to download stuff. I could list some more good stuff and some more bad stuff but I think I’ve said enough for the start. Bye, Sebastian!
