Week and Weekend
Sorry, im moment a lot of things have been going on. A terrible week:
- I had problems with a teeth, spent Halloween (Tuesday evening) in the dentistry and they didn't really find a problem, so I had pain for the rest of the week.
- I let my notebook being checked and on Wednesday was informed that a repair would cost 400 bucks (with only 30 days warranty) and the boss is making troubles about paying it.
- For the extension of my stay here I also need an extension of my work permit and I find the forms confusing and the authorities absolutely unhelpful.
(- Considered these it was just a minor thing but it matched well that on Tuesday Barcelona managed only a 2:2 draw versus Chelsea and is in danger of being eliminated from Champions League.)
Anyway after this week it was fantastic to leave everything behind, I spent the weekend in the Southern Rockies, visiting Banff and Lake Louise. Our group consisted of 5 Mexicans and English and me - it was soo much fun. (Would have been even more fun if I spoke Spanish.) I could have done with more of that - but now it's the problems of everyday life again. I guess that's the best picture of me of that weekend. Meat in Lake Louise (and no, Lake Louise has no hot springs!)..

Lese gerade Deinen Blog und schicke Gruesse von der kanadischen Hauptsadt ins kalte Edmonton.
Bin ein deutscher Student und mache gerade ein Praktikum hier in Ottawa. Wie Du, ok Du noch nicht :-), hab ich erfolgreich mein work permit verlaengert. Falls Du Hilfe wegen Formularen brauchst kannst Du mich kontaktieren - no problem (stephan-g@gmx.de).
Enjoy your stay, your work (where and whatver you are working) and the Canadian way of life!
