Return of the Travelling Blog!

So, it has been awhile since I last wrote in here... Like 3 years or something, but I have once again fled the country.

On the 29th of March, which was a while ago, apparently I've lost my touch with up to date blogging.

My 29th of March seemed to go forever and because it consisted of waiting, flying, waiting, flying, waiting and a bus. With dealing with customs in the inbetween but in terms of interesting things... There were no interesting things.
I eventually got to London... Ontario..

Did I mention I went to Canada?
Yeah, I'm now in Canada. That flying went Sydney to Vancouver, Vancouver to Toronto and the bus from Toronto to London.
Lots of Travelling. The two latter trips featured glorious naps. Glorious, glorious naps!

I travelled to London, because I am currently staying with the delightful Paige.
To be completely accurate I am now unemployed living in Paige's basement. I like to think it is very rock and roll. In a cliche movie kind of way.
Other people do live in the house, it's good times.

So, Day one, the Day started ridiculously late as I had to sleep off a whole bunch of non-sleep but I got mail and that was exciting, more exciting was that the mail was a gift card for Best Buy from Team Weekender. Thanks, Team Weekender!
I haven't used it yet, but I assure you I will and it will be glorious!

I could use other words besides glorious, especially since I do have a window up of thesaurus.com for the word "proud". I was helping Paige with her essay. You are welcome.

But basically, my first couple of days have been just trying to set myself up in Canada. I have a bank account, a Social Insurance Number (which is the complete government number, not like in Australia) and am working on the whole cell phone thing. It is proving to be difficult since apparently I don't have enough ID. I have enough ID to get everything else, just not a phone.
So, that's being slow and painful but am working on it.

I've also been grocery shopping. I find milk very confusing.
Where is the full cream, Canada? Where?

There really hasn't been anything exciting happening.
My accent does keep getting made fun of and a lot of people don't seem to understand me, but I can't work out if that is the accent or the fact that frequently people have trouble understanding me.

My current Canadian goals are: Get Canadian Accent, learn French through signs and packaging.

I'll eventually get another video diary happening.
If time permits, I'll get Paige to participate and then the internet might break due to the combined awesomeness.

Any questions or comments?
