Hello my fellow Australians!! I wonder who this is…
Anyway, I’m in Canada at the moment, and since you’re all at camp having the time of your lives, I thought that I should blog, since TOM has been bugging me about it for zonks. And… the grammar is like, PERFECT because I’m typing on Word, due to WONDERFUL internet access. *cough*
So, after a 28 hour plane trip, I thought, “oh great! Finally I’m there and I can relax in the sun, drinking smoothies, eating ice-crea-” Only to find that it was SNOWING NONSTOP and that it was 0 degrees outside. And to make it EVEN better, everything here is like unreadable because it’s such a China look alike. You see, I walk to the “mall” and look around, expecting to see t-shirts and jeans etc. but instead, TO MY HORROR I find Chinese traditional clothing with all the frilly things hanging down. My relatives probably thought I really liked it (hence my mouth hanging open for 10 minutes), because they were like, “OH. You like that? I buy for you!” Which took me another 10 minutes to explain to them that I actually thought it looked despicable, and wouldn’t wear that even if I died.
Oh man, I made Canada sound really terrible. It’s not really THAT bad, I think. Just yesterday (which would have been your today, since the time is so weird and demented and its 16 hours behind), I went to this random shopping mall where everyone said that it was just PERFECT to buy souvenirs. So me, as a excited person, jump ALL the way to the shop, only to find that they only sold TV’s and laptops and EVERYTHING IN BULK. What was I meant to buy? A TV for each of you? Sheesh, people here exaggerate things SO much to make it sound good…
But… there are some good things. For example, there are like… 800 TV channels here!! =) So now, my daily Canadian life consists of sitting in front of the TV, waiting for my shows to go on. Except for the fact, that SOME people are SO inconsiderate and make me watch this random MANDARIN thing, knowing full well that I can’t understand it.
And must I say that plane TV is heaps good. But not when the person in front of you leans back 90degrees, so all you can see is their hair.
Anyway, I hope you all have a fun time at camp SURFING, whilst I’ll be here… waiting for the temperature to reach 2 degrees. Miss you!
