I've arrived in Canada...My first 3 days!

Hotel room for 3 days!

I forgot that i wanted to create a blog so I'm a couple of days behind. So I've come to Canada to study abroad for a year at McMaster University (after finishing my 1st year at Lancaster University), in Hamilton it's about 35-40 minutes south of Toronto, so I'm hoping to go there quiet often. I'm also 40 minutes away from the Border to the USA, so hopefully i'll be able to cross over and visit! Anyway, the fight was good! we had TV's on the seats, so i finally got to watch Limitless! The Food was good. Although, the three seats directly in front of me were annoying! First the boy felt it was ok to pretend to cry just to get his own way. His sister was ok, she just watched Bollywood films all the way here, i only know this because i couldn't work my TV at the time, so i read the subtitles on her screen. Then All three seats were stretched so far back that my head was nearly touching their chair. So you know what that means, my seat went all the way back too haha! so i guess I've joined them in being annoying :D I arrived in Canada 2 hours late because of delays both in England and Brussels, but i eventually made it to the hotel! But there was no time to rest, as i now had to find accommodation! To cut a long story short, stopping off-campus had more advantages. So I phoned a landlord to arrange a viewing, it turned out that he offered to pick me up and show me the houses and rooms! Then panic settled in! the conversation went like this....!

First we walk into the house and everywhere is covered in dirt, the room is dark, a dirty sofa is positioned in the middle of the room, the kitchen looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a 5 years.

-Landlord: Your Lucky you have found this, there no many places left and this is really good deal, look loads of room everywhere, everything included! Cheap! No! (he was middle eastern)


-Me: Erm ye its really nice

-Landlord: Yes nice, if you want i clean it and give you somewhere to stay for 5 days too. Me show you other property yes?


-Me: Yes please (i got a bit happy at this point, as the next one might be good)

-Landlord: So this apartment is in basement! 


-Me: ohh (haha i wanted to leave but i thought i may as well see because after all he did bring me here)

-Landlord: Look very clean, this got 4 rooms, (points) one, two, three....(slight pause as he looks for the fourth) four (he points to the door right in front of our faces haha) let me show you. you see window, bed, everything) 

-Me: ohh yes that's good

-Landlord: Yes i do this for $350, you like?

-Me: Ye i'll let you know as soon as possible after i confirm it with my parents.

He then drops me back off at the hotel haha and you guessed i didn't ring back because it was a big Joke. I'm not going to stay in a prison cell with barely any light and dirt growing from the walls. Cya later Mate!

Anyway that's enough for today, I'll tell you about the rest in the next post! As the Canadians say.....have a good day!!!!
