back to reality

Vancouver welcomed me with more than 10 days of exceptional good whether. But since yesterday, it have been raining nearly all day. According to the Vancouver people this's unfortunately the weather they have most of the year. So better do not visit the city without a good rain jacket :-).
However, even if it is raining the city is still exciting. During the weekend I did some walks along the seawalk - a 30km long trail at the shore of the city of vancouver -, went through the Olympic Village and ate my by far best fish and ships ever.

In addition, my first week in my new house is over. I live together with 10 other people in a house in the middle of Kitsilano, a very popular neighborhood of Vancouver. It's a funny community. Most of us are expads from all over the world who met in Vancouver now. It's perfect to make new friends and to have some fun.

For me it has the further advantage that I am very fast at the University, but also nearby downtown.

After two weeks in Vancouver, I am willing to say that I am landed now.

PS: saw this sign today. For all who still do not know how to pronounce:

Werde das Hy-fuh-vy-tzen die Tage dann mal probieren...
