Hello Winnipeg

Hi, I'm in Canada - unbelievable. The flight to Toronto was a little bit boring, my chair neighbour prefered sleeping or listening music than talking to me. The flight arrived delayed in Toronto, so I was be stressed out to catch the connection flight. The immigration bureau caused no problems, now I've all the papers to stay one year in Canada.

The flight to Winnipeg was shorter and better. I got to know my chair neighbours, a family from Winnipeg. They were very likable - they gave me their phone number if I should have a problem.

During the travel I read the Toronto Star (newspaper) and what have I seen there: The habitants of Sweden are Swiss and eat cheese!!! You don't believe? I will give you the proof as soon as I can connect the internet with my own laptop.

Arrived in Winnipeg one bagage was lost - not so important because this bagage contains the winter clothes, but all the gifts for the welcome family are in there ...

Another interessant thing was, that I'm only allowed to import 1.5 litre of wine!?! I`ve imported 3 bottles ... nothing happened still now ... even if I had declared that (ok, I haven't received the luggage containing the wine bottles)!

About my welcome family, they are really nice. A family with two children - they are doing everything for me.

This afternoon I phoned around because of an available room ... without success ... perhaps I'm to shy on the phone ... tomorrow I will try again!

So now I'm going to sleep, I'm up for nearly 24 hours - I wish a good night from Winnipeg!!!
