Girl on a mission. . .

Was not planing to do an entry but I got on internet to do some internet banking and now i got 15 min left of credit, so lets see how much I can type. First of all, the :S in my previous blog entry where copied from misses Jingaling...so its all her fault. I have to say that I am quite tiered for the past two days i have been waking up at 7:30 in the morning to do things.. But I have basically done nothing on my own, I have met a girl from Australia in the hostel and we took a ferry yesturday to cross to an island and see the skyland on Toronto. Then it turned out we were both booked for the same tour to NIagra falls,so we went there together as well. And we joined a guy from london and a girl from hongkong and visited niagra the four of us (we were in a tour,but we had 4 free hours in the falls).The falls were very nice, they were EXTREMLY touristy and hotels and builduings were right by the water. However we took a boat that took us literaly to the bottom of the falls and that was amazing, i took too many pictures, and luckily my camera is still working even though it got a bit wet. Later on we took a tunnel that went "under"the water and i got freaking soaked in water, but that was very entretaining. It turns out that in 1960 a 7 yearf old boy fell of the falls and he survived...wow!! There was also a tower you could climb and see the view from the top but i was so tiered that i passed on that one, i had seen too much wateralready. At night they did a light show and they lighted the waterfalls, really neat. That was the moment when my battery in my camera decided to die, however i still managed to take a few pictures. Later we headed back to toronto. This morning me the australian girl and another guy we went to kensington market, it was mostly closed cuz it was only 8am but we went to this delicious bakery and got some very lekker cookies :)I then headed on my own on a bus tour of tornonto that was included in the price of the hostel. It was a nice tour, 2 horus long. I might take the second route of the tour later on. However, its a hop on hop off bus but if you hop off the next bus takes at least 1 hour to come, so i found that bullshit. I dont have much time so i stayed in the trolley/bus for the journey. The sun has been shining these past days so it has been very nice, its quite hot. However, if you go to the shadow it gets chilly and then i need my Erasmus Sweater!! Buah i have an early wake up tommorrow 3.30am to catch a plane...exciting! As far as food goes, i havent been eating that much and ive been walking a lot, and yet i think im 20kilos heavier than when I left NL :( Later on I will head to a brewery with the australian girl and see the brewery and get some beer. I saw that a girl that left my room today left us 4 beers and a note saying..FREE BEER, ENJOY...woho! And its corona..even better! So for now that is all folks... hoping the rest of the trip goes as good as it has gone so far.

A few lines from Toronto

They do say the world is small...but I was not expecting to see somebody from block 1 SCM walking out of the hostel as I walked in. Unfortunately he was leaving to montreal (i believe) and I was entering but that was just suprising. We stared at each other and asked "what ARE YOU doing here"..what a coincidence. Im finally in Toronto and today met up with my friend from highschool..walked aroudn the city and did some shoping that she had to do since she lives in the middle of nowhere 2 hours away from Toronto. Unfortunately exams always come so she couldnt come for longer than a day since she had a finance exam tommorrow (yuck!)..as she left I decided id go take a walk around the city and then it started raining mad, which meant no walk. By the time i got to the hostel i was soked in water as if I had jumped into lake Ontario...So far so good, the hostel is really nice. I think that together with circus hostel in Berlin this is one of the best I have been so far. I had to que a lot to get into the country, police checks...and go quite a few questionairs. They let everybody pass but they stoped me "who bought your ticket" "where does your father live" "what does he do" "do you know people in canada" " what are their names" "how long will you stay" " where was the ticket bought" blah blah blah "when was the ticket bought"blah blah blah.. but eventually they let me go :) I had a crazy dude siting by me in the plane. He was sitting next to me and litteraly dancing to the music on his mp3..yuck :S And he was OLD..but i felt asleep and when i woke up he was gone! I went through a search to make sure they hadnt made him jump off the plane for being crazy and found he was siting 3 rows infront of me. Andyeah..he was still dancing to his music...crazy wako. This computer is being very slow..the people in this hostel are very nice, i met a bunch of people last nite and there is a bunch of people who study english in Tornonto and they litteraly live in the hostel for like 6 months..cool huh? I find so funny that every biker in the city wears a helmet, hahahaha..The city is pretty nice so far, in the center there are the skyscrapers, not too many and then the city goes outward with a bunch of little houses. . . Its pretty neat to meet all this travelers in the hostel, i think it should be nice to come to Canada in the future and take a trip around the country and the natural parcs. There are quite a few nice ways to visit this place and the cities seem just the starting point.. tommorrow ill head to Niagra Falls. I have heard that it aint that great, so im a bit afraid. I have been told that it is EXTREMLY turistic and that there is the city all around it. After the Iguazu falls I have very high expectations but we will see how these are. Well, for now this is all folks :)

Ira and i met in Toronto for 1 day! Awesome!

Believe it or not but I am already updating my blog! Some of you should be happy that im doing so :) Im sitting in the business lounge in London and they got free internet, unlike the one in Schipol (really shitty one they got there). The point is that i have the silver card for BA so i get to come to the lounge hhahahah. Well since i did the big mistake of not writing anything when i was in india i think thi is a good way of keeping in track of what i do and where i am.I still dont know how i manage to wake up this morning since i was up with dina and irum until too late last night and only managed to sleep two hours. I got a few wake up calls today.

1st wake up call Irias sms wake up service
2nd wake up call alarm clock
3rd wake up call my phone alarm
4th wake up call irums phone alarm.

I stil manage to do everything i had to do which wasnt much, specially taking into account that i was sleeping in the couch (btw maria, i agree that couch is great!!) I rushed to CS with my luggage to cahtch my train which i made it to. Met my first canadian friends in the train hahaha socialised a bit,woke up a bit more and did the check in. I dont get why the develop baggage drop areas if it takes as long as normal checking in does. Pff... they should rethink about that system.So i was quite happy i made it to my train. I did pretty good but smth was wsrong with my luggage cuz the wheel kept making a horrible noise. TSK!!!! Well i cant wait to get to Sydney and grab my backpack that is just so much more confortable. My luggage is quite small, taking into account that i will go through summer plus winter and i am taking the same kilos i take when i go to BCN for 4 days,except now its 3 months... Hmmm I think i finally learned to pack extremly efficeinty. And another very intresting fact, is that i have moved back to my tradition of having a watch. im afraid my battery might die at any point so i am now with two watches (my phone and my own). I really just want to arrive at tornonto. I didnt even see how we left schipol i just felt a sleep right when i sat down and then i heard "10 minutes to landing"... grr im at terminal 4 heathrow. SO freaking old, i never liked this terminal. But BA is soon moving to Terminal 5 so that is good! If you dont mind im gona go and get the free food there is in the lounge before i go grab my plane! yuhooo im going to Canada :):):):):)

Well well believe it or not, miss holland... i not only have no one to talk to but also no fridges or my pal toshiba to bitch at! :S
