Today I´m officaly one months in Canada. A month with already had a lot of experiences and adventures. I mean it felt like I was 24/7 on the farm, but I still experienced something. This just give u a short review of my first months. Well, What can I tell u about Canada, about Canadien Culture, my year abroad?
If you´re here, you would be suprised how nice and kind the canadien people are. UNBELIEVABLE! Everyone is helpful, talks to you, even if u don´t know each other. Some of you would say that you also got that in germany, but NOOOOO! I guess it´s hard to express this with my words. You have to experience it on your own. Anyways, I love the Canadiens. I mean there totaly racist (especially towards Indian or asian people, african people, u don´t see here a lot of black people), but they love Germans. I d k why but it is like that. Good for me. Even if they´re racist, they´re open, helpful and just amazing. I like this attitude, not that they’re racists, just the positive things of them. Maybe because it´s a bit similiar to myself ( I mean just the positive sides, like especially open and “markant” – just so that u know)😉
The first 30 days in this incredible country were breathtaking. I was one day in Toronto, one evening (on Halloween) in Port Hope (which was so cool). I had some interesting farm work to do. Got to know canadiens, canadien lifestyle. Saw the Indian Summer, snow, the fallen leaves (Greetings to everyone, who loves this song as well) and had some nice walks with cool people. I´m happy to be able to call Liesa, Cora, Lina, Sandra my friends. I will definitly a bit sad when they´re all leaving the farm. I love the special character of Shain, the conversations with Christa and the Ailment of Debbie. I love meeting new people, love to get to know something about them, get to know differetn characters and I wouldn´t say that I would have a problem to meet and to get to know new people.
Finally, my first month in Canada was breathtaking, amazing, beautiful and helpful. But not everything was perfect. Of course not. There were also different bad or shitty situations…
For example the 29th of october. My birthday… First time in my life that I didn´t spend it with family and friends. It definitly was a akward and also „sad“ day. Then there were the time in the trailer and there especially the first 4 or 5 days. I felt seperated and excluded, because of Covid and Quarantine. I was not sure, if the decision of going abroad had been the right decision. I missed my parents, friends and some other activities like „Doppelkopf“ with my friends, going tot he gym, spend some nice evenings on the weekend with my friends. Another point is and was that you´re here just for working. It feels like that. I mean one day a week off – 8 hours working every day. PUHHH – that´s hard. But I love the time off from work. Sitting together with all people, common dinner, common game evenings, drinking beers, laughing, having fun, to each other also times in the pan and at the end simply realize what a horny time one has here. I enjoy every second here. I enjoy my current life.
Finally: Despite lonely and sad moments, I am very happy to be in Canada and to spend a horny 😉 year abroad with lots of adventures.
Greetings,
