start of my studies

I spent now over $370 on books, still missing another one worth: $100.
Compared to about three books I bought before in my entire studies it is quite some money!
Food is also expensive. I think buying two burger every day would be the best deal. However, some people did not recommend to do so.

By bus it takes me about twenty minutes to get to school (that's how thy name University). With my white/purple bike it takes about the same, because the gears do not shift and there is a little hill on my way...

my sister-in-law and my brother on a short visit:

well, did you see the falls? at least we had a firework...

Holidays in Algonquin


After the orientation I quickly found a room to stay. So we could go on a interesting Ontario trip up to the Alqonquin National Park.

Orientation Week in York, Toronto

Right in the beginning I had an orientation seminary with the Ontario-Baden-Württemberg Program at York University.
It was very nice, the students came from Germany, France and India.
We stayed in a residence which was flooded - so we had action, and fortunately my stuff wasn't kaputt.

thats all my belongings in Canada right now:
