So, I'm in Canada!!! I've been here since Friday night, stayed with Heather's friend Mel (whose sister is doing NET Canada this year) until yesterday night, and now I am staying at a house with some NET Alumni/staff members. It's been tremendous so far. I haven't actually begun NET yet, that's why I am able to be online, but it's coming on fast.
I've met TONS of new people in the past couple days. It's crazy and it's about to get crazier.
We might go out to music training tonight to see their talent show, so I'd get to meet some more "netters" then. (For the record, I do not enjoy being called a netter. Makes me feel like I'm twelve. But that's what they call us, so I guess I have no choice now that I've signed up for it...)
Canada is awesome so far. I have done away with all my American change, so I don't get confused. The money is so similar.
Tell you whats not similar, the milk. Well, actually the milk itself is just normal milk, but the packaging is all sorts of weird. They have milk in bags. So so strange. I went to have cereal this morning and I was looking for a carton or a jug of milk and I couldn't find any. Thought that was strange cause they had told me that there was cereal and why would they offer cereal if there was no milk, right? So eventually I found soy milk and used that. Then I was at the store today with two of the girls and they are talking about buying milk and whether or not they already had some. So thinking that I am being helpful I chime in "Oh yeah, this morning I couldn't find any milk. It's probably been finished..." So they bought it and we come home to find out they DID have milk already, it was just in bags. Sorry, I'm American...
Another thing; beer. I keep being taken aback whenever someone asks me if I'd like a drink. I keep forgetting that it is legal here for me. (Don't worry, I'm keeping myself in check and am very responsible.)
Other than beverages, Canada has some awesome people. Everyone I've met so far has been tremendously nice and tolerates me poking fun at the way they say their "t"s and "softdrink" instead of soda.
Also, Tim Horton's is awesome. Like Dunkins, but better cause it's new to me and everyone loves a novelty.
On that note, I think it's nap time. Enjoy the pictores from the roadtrip up, which was amazing and scenic.
