... in my case, after about 8 summer breaks. Anyway, Thursday started my MBA with the so called ISP International Student Preparation. Very nice classmates from different nations all over the world. The class is very small as not all students decided to join the ISP. This makes it easy to get acquainted with the classmates.
Much more important: now is my first weekend in Vancouver - and directly a long one as Monday is a public holiday in BC (British Columbia). Today, I visited downtown for the first time. You can still see the impacts of the Olympic Games. Everything looks new or recently refurbished. I was in particular impressed by many little observations: The huge container vessels and cruising ships which enter the harbor, the aeroboats which depart and arrive directly in front of the skyline, the panorama of the skyline when sitting at the beach, the musicians at the street. I would like to support my observations with some pictures but I forgot my camera. Anyway, I promise to publish some pictures of my city impressions next time.
Success of the day: I bought a used bike together with a helmet and a lock (which is both mandatory here). Without these accessories you will get first in trouble with the police and next you have to call the police.
Despite of these small successes I still looking for an shared room somewhere in the city and getting slightly nervous about that. But lets wait and see and watch the craigslist.
