YAY I’m Alive!!!

hello there people. Finally I’ve got onto this crazy internet.

So whats been happening? I’ve been at Big White for the last 2.5 weeks :) Yay. I’ve seen it snow, i’ve played in the snow, i’ve met heaps of people, i’ve started work (training), i’ve got a place to live, i’ve got used to the weather and don’t think its cold until we reach -10.

I spent most of last week at the pub. Snowshoe Sams. It’s the ONLY place open up here and the only place to play pool. Stayin at the hostel got a bit boring. I contemplated staying at the hostel and working 15hours there to pay my rent. But, I decided I wouldn’t ’cause lets face it – i didn’t come here to work my ass off. Yes, I may leave this place broke but I’m going to have a good time!!!!

I’ve fallen in love with being away. travelling is fantastic and there is SO many people who are keen to run away to the east coast with me after.

Basically, I’m like (and I quote) 56km SE of Kelowna, which is in BC Canada. I’m about 5000ft high. And its BEAUTIFUL. I’ll have to get my ass into gear and i SHOULD have some internet at my house within the next couple days. So then I’ll post some photos :)

Anyway, everything is really good. The view here is magnifient. At first, I was totally dissapointed. Not much is open so its a bt of a drag.

Tonight is Warren Miller night at Sams – do you know who that is? I don’t, but hey I’m learning :) He’s an oldskool snowboarder. Everyone is going! How exciting :) Best bit is I can drink at home and not pay for drinks once I’m out!!! Special!

Anyway, I best be off. Sorry its been so long in between drinks I have such a list of stuff to post. I have toally embraced the canadian culture though ie. I have:

  • Eaten Putine – Chips with gravy and cheese
  • Know that Sears is the Myer equiv.
  • Full length woolen stockings!
  • Seen a Canucks game (NFL)
  • Drink Canadian beer

Anyway I don;’t have time to continue the net cafe is closing :P

Love you allll
