Monday and Tuesday: We are always closed on Monday and Tuesday. That means, that nothing happens on the farm. So, I didn´t do a lot. Currently it´s Monday evening and I´m planning what to do at my birthday and my day off. Saturday is Halloween. I would like to go tot he city after work. Canadiens love Halloween and especially in Port Hope (the city where the film „it“ was produced) it must me awesome. Hopefully we will go on Saturday there, so that I can tell you something more special and cool stuff about the week. But step by step. One more thing. Today I received a package, I was completly confused, until I realized that it came from my parents. Awesome😊 They sent it to me as a birthday present. I´m already looking forward to open it on Thursday. Glad having parents who are so cool. So in Germany we say „doppelt hält besser“ – so thanks Mom and Dad. Love it, whatever is in there. Another thing…the week is getting better and better by every day. Tody I received an answer to my application for a dual study…the answer: Yes we will take u😊 So happy. Then Thursday birthday, Saturday-we´re gonna go to Port Hope to „celebrate“ Halloween. I love seeing the „Canadien-Halloween-Culture“ then.
Wednesday: Nothing happend. Working until 4, then I slpet for 2 hours. Dinner. Bed. Got a little cold. That´s bulls*it.
Thursday: It was 00:00, I woke up… I thought, what’s going on, because all I saw was something burning. After a short time I realized that they were candles. Besides, I noticed that not firemen, as I thought at first, were standing in front of me, but Lina, Liesa and Cora and on top of that they were singing. Right…it was my birthday. I was really happy about the surprise. Especially because I had somehow panicked before my birthday. Without family, without friends – nothing that cool. Anyway, in the end it turned out to be a really cool day. I had to work, had a lot to do, but I was still able to enjoy my birthday. During the lunch break I had talked to my parents on the phone for an hour and unpacked the package they had sent me. The best part was the Astra. I am so happy to be able to drink the best beer in the world again. Unfortunately only one. But I had saved this one for a very special occasion. It was for the derby…
Friday: My day off. I talked to two friends on the phone (greetings to Zoe and Moritz, it was really great to see you again), started a new series (ladies’ gambit: highly recommended) and then I watched the Derby at half past two. I was excited, super cool game and a performance-oriented 2:2, so Hamburg stays brown and white. Afterwards I went for a walk with Liesa at the sunset. A successful day. My cold is almost gone. YEAH! Anyways, tomorrow evening we are going to Port Hope, celebrate halloween… see how that goes. I am happy
Saturday: Saturday was not the best day of the week, but I liked it the most. I worked until 4pm. Then we went to Port Hope. Awesome, finally I was able to leave the farm and to see something else😊 Who is we? Liesa, Lina and Sandra went together with me with car to the 16000 inhabitants city. It is really a small and cute city. First of all we went tot he beach, taking some nice pictures during sunset. We walked a bit around, I mean the beach was so small and it was so cold – so the walk wasn´t so long. Afterwards we went tot he city hall, parked the car and we walked through the streets of Port Hope. Hopefully you all might know the film „IT“ – it was produced in this city. So it was awesome to see the different sets of the film. I remembered and recognized a lot. After that we went to a small pub. It´s called „The thirsty Goose“. I drank a beer and ate „Poutine“ – typical for Canada. We listened to some live music and had a wonderful evening. Before I forget it… – it was Halloween. So we saw a lot of people, who were dressed up. After the pub, we made some pictures with Pennywise – you could get some for a donation – so we did it. It was so cool to take pictures with the main character of the film „IT“ in the city where it was produced. Then we went back tot he car and drove to a famous house in port Hope. The two owners are crazy. They love Halloween. So their house looks a bit like a Halloween-House from everyones dream. Awesome how much work they put in it. Finally we went back home, and saw the film „IT – I guess we had to. This was my fourth week in Canada. Already 1 month abroad…
There will be an update tomorrow. „MY FIRST 4 WEEKS IN CANADA“
See u.. Tom
