  • 20th – 24th September: Toronto to Digby

    20th – 24th September: Toronto to Digby

    After receiving virtually no feedback on my job applications over the summer, I decided to make good use of my time and take another trip to Canada.

    Conveniently, I found a cheap flight on Air Transat – and on September 20, I set off once again for Toronto.

    JEY…….I survived Monday…

    …and tomorrow is my day off – and I don’t have a clue what to do (it’s supposed to be raining again). Maybe just go to Beacon Hill Park and to the seaside – or Butchart Gardens (haven’t been there yet)….
    But if anybody has any other suggestions, please write me NOW 🙂

  • Result of the first test

    Result of the first test

    Well, it worked (of course 😉 ): instead of having to tell 80% of the people the right way to the main level it’s only 20% who wanted to turn around.

    But it was pretty busy yesterday, so my motivation left at about 4 PM and I was back on counting minutes before I was able to leave…..seems I’m not a born shop assistent after all 😉
    Boy, I’m looking forward to Tuesday, my day-off….

  • Halftime at the Christmas Village

    Halftime at the Christmas Village

    Today is my third Saturday, two more to go.
    And there have been changes. Well, not big ones but small ones.
    First of all, I changed my attitude three days ago. I decided, since I wanted to keep the job until christmas and I hated it, I could also try to learn as  much as possible. Because it is really not paying enough to be exused (or compensated) by money.

  • Preparations…

    Preparations…

    ….so, I got myself a new flight today after Michaela told me yesterday that I could be in trouble if I didn’t use the first leg in my booked Germany – Canada – Germany return flight package.

  • Surprise, surprise: I’m going home….

    Surprise, surprise: I’m going home….

    I tried to book a flight for several days now because they had one special offer for 99 dollars (without taxes) to Manchester. Unfortunately I was not able to book that flight, so I booked another one today.
    The only catch is: it’s already on the 27th of December (after that date flights are extremly expensive), so there are only three weeks left in Canada.
    Three weeks to get rid of all the stuff I bought here assuming I would stay the winter.
    At the moment the whole situation feels like an escape because I’m not feeling too comfortable here and because it is so sudden.
    I don’t know why but tonight everybody else here in the hostel is hyper (at the moment they’re making gluehwein in the kitchen) – and I feel like crying.
    There were so many things I wanted to do, people to visit or places to go back to and now I’m just going home. It’s a completely rational decision, it feels all so wrong – I hope that changes soon.

  • Amazing backpacker life

    I just met a girl in the kitchen, Lena, – here in Victoria, BC, Canada – who is from my hometown in Geramy, went on my school, lives on the same street as my brother does and goes to the same events and places I do – and I’ve never heard of her or seen or before….WOW!!! :-))
