I boarded the plane from Edmonton after I ate a delicious breakfast with my parents. Everything went smoothly, I was genuinely surprised. The flight from Edmonton to Vancouver was less that eventful. I played some pokemon to pass the time. Upon arriving in Van, I rushed out of the plane and down the many hallways, following the sign for international travel. I turned left at least sixteen times which should be impossible without going in circles but that’s Vancouver airport, I guess. I found my gate easily, checked in easily and then went for a rum and spinach dip. Tasty. I board my plane. The flight across the ocean was long. Really long. I literally did not stand up once until I was in china. That’s about 11+ hours of sitting. I played a lot of pokemon and read a book and slept for about 2 hours. Boring boring boring shoot me it was boring. I lived. I walked with my new friend Rachael to customs. We were friends because we both are English speakers and therefore could actually converse. I grabbed my bag off the spinny bag thingy and set off in search of my supposed school. I walked out of the baggage claim into a sea of signs for people. I was starting to think I’d fallen for an internet scam when I saw that the biggest sign was for me!! Hazah! I was greated warmly by Summer and Esmeralda. We grabbed a cab and went to the campus I’m staying and learning at. Turns out, it’s an Olympic training ground too! We met up with Hunter, an outgoing and friendly guy. I was shown my room, which is a basic bed, shower, toilet and internet access and then we ate some food. Mmm food. After eating and a couple drinks and some good conversation, they left me to my own devices and I’ll be getting a tour tomorrow! Sleepy. The next one will be better, I’m tired. Oh right, the air is clean because of the Olympics . Quite breathable, so far.
