a little posting again...

As I got mixed up with am/pm yesterday evening, my alarm did not ring and I missed my morning classes. What a fortune, now I have time to post again!

down here you see two pictures of me and Bekka still from the Temagami trip. By the way, more up to date information you will find always on Bekka's blog http://www.kanada-bekka.blogspot.com/ (it is even in German).
I will just refer to the above mentioned blog to describe the last two weeks, that makes it easy for me. So I can carry on working on my group projects about Transfair Canada in the management course and banking websites in the marketing course (yes, I do attend a marketing class!).
But forget about studying, enjoy the pictures below:

back from Temagami

Canada - Temagami – canoeing – wilderness - …

So, after solving my internet troubles I am ready to post.





It was an awesome weekend! The temperature was close to summer (good for my cold), the wilderness was astonishing and the people were the best. Did I mention that Bekka was with on the trip? It was really nice.

What I just forgot to mention might be the fall colours, also referred to as Indian Summer, but you will see the picture – so why talk about.
I could not really decide which pics are the best, so I just choose them randomly. They look quite good anyway.

I think we made about 60km in the canoes on the four days which is really good for an October weekend. Ok, considering the mild climate I will not boast about it…

Before you think I am here “only for fun” the short notice that I get up at 6:30am most days and I am studying hard during the week. Next Exam: Saturday!

Back from Webster Falls, studying again

So, I am back from a short day trip at Webster Falls close to Hamilton...

The Consul General Reception

see where I was yesterday:






and after the official part we enjoyed T.



the nice thing was actually that I could see Bekka again on Friday, before I had to head back to St. Catharines.
You know!

Still, it is a bit busy around here, all the midterm exams are coming the following weeks(s).

Sunday and the week after…

I was busy writing an assignment for a marketing course. I do not know that much about marketing, but anyway it was more about the big five Canadian banks and their strategies in the U.S. market.
Interesting to know, that the Canadian see the sub-prime crisis also as mostly happening in the U.S., so do not get tempted to put them in the same category as their southern neighbours.

The Parade

Last Saturday Bekka, Troy and myself went to watch the St. Catharines Wine Festival Parade. It was really funny, although you can not really compare it with the Vaihinger Maientag. I really liked the little Go karts, but the cheerleaders have been nice as well.

this is the Brock Badger, our University "Maskottchen"
