Here are a few words from me too. As Petra told, we had our vocational visits yesterday morning. Me and Karin went to Confederation College first thing in the morning. Oh boy, they are doing a impressive work educating youngsters long-distance! My second vocational visit was to a local pet store, where I got I very thorough information about pet feeding in Canada. Surprisingly, it was very similar to ours.

I'm staying in a host family of Darlene and Scott, who have three boys Max, Ian and Duncan, a golden retriewer Ranger and a hamster Pumpkin. They have all made me feel very welcome and especially little Max is such a great company! They live by the lake, and the view they have from they windows, really made me gasp my breath! I have to download photos of that later on. When travelling from Winnipeg, which was like Ostrobothina with all its flattness, we move to bushes, like Lappland and ended up here, by the lakes, like Savonlinna, where my host "mother" Darlene have been living in 1980. All the people here, have been very friendly!

Muutama ihmettely ja ihastelu vielä suomeksi. Ovenkahvat ja hanat, palikkatestejä! Monissa ovissa on pyöritettävät lukot, jotka menee kiinni kun vetää tai painaa tai pyörittää tai jotain. Ja suihku, siis miten tää toimii? :) Autot, siis minkäkokoisia ne on! Mun pikku-golffi olis naurettava mopo täällä (tosin se on sitä ehkä Suomessakin) :D "Kaikilla" on vähintään yks jättiläismobiili, tila-auto tai lava-auto neljällä istuimella, johon näillä tappijaloilla pääseminen on aina yhtä haastavaa (huvittavaa?). Ja isäntien mukaan hinta on jotain käsittämättömän vähän, samon kuin kulutus... Mahtuiskohan yks mun matkalaukkuun? =)

Terveisiä kotopuoleen, rakkaista rakkammille erityisesti!
