Saturday I went out with David and two of his friends - real Canadians. Oh my gosh, their speed at drinking was crazy. Despite my training in Innsbruck I'm afraid I could not compete.. But hey, the real thing is enjoying large quantities of Beer, not wasting large quantities of Beer, isn't it?

Yesterday I had a veery long walk, down to the river-valley again. In comparison to Austria we've got beautiful weather. Additionally to last weeks cold (which is nearly away ) I've also got a sunburn in the neck. So I'm a real Redneck now! (In the US and Canada Redneck is a derogative term for country people.)

Today is the day of the first match of the Stanley Cup Final Carolina Hurricanes vs. Edmonton Oilers. Although I'm still not really interested in Ice hockey I may go to a Pub this evening, just for the atmosphere. I suppose here I could experience a similar atmosphere only in a Bar in Little Italy during the soccer world cup - but if I'd go there I'd risk severe injuries for supporting the wrong team... Anyway, I took some photos of the Oilermania (especially the flags and the posters are virtually everywhere):
