How Weike ended up in Canada

I flew!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, finally my childhood dream of being able to fly has come true. Well...childhood dream...I still dream that i can fly sometimes, but that's never really flying, it's more like floating. You know, you hold your breath and push yourself off off the ground and then you can jump really far and go higher and higher as long as you don't breathe out. A bit like jigglypuff, ony then without blowing up like a balloon.

But anyway, this time flying was a bit more effective. 11km high, 900 km an hour, and I didn't even have to hold my breath (though i did when taking off-im sure it helped).

And then, ladies and gentlemen, I landed. In the land of bears and people who speak french in a funny way. In Canada.

What kind of adventures did i have on day 1?

Well.

I got picked up by paul. Adventure 1.

We drove down to Kingston from Montreal. #2

During a picknick at a big river i stepped in poison ivy several times without realizing. Poison ivy is a nasty weed growing in north america and when you touch it, you get an allergic reaction or something after an hour. The plant puts oil on your skin and somehow that will start to go really itchy. Or something. Fortunately I washed it off with water and soap and didn't get any reaction (yet). #3

We got pulled over by the police (in a HUGE car) because he got a call that someone was driving very slowly on the highway and he was wondering whether maybe we were drunk. The speed limit on the highway was 80km/h. We drove 80. When we told him that the officer said "yeah, we're not used to people abiding by the speedlimit here". The rest of the drive we decided to drive 100 so that we wouldn't be stopped again. #4

It was 30 degrees celsius. Whenever we stopped i didn't put on my shoes and walked on the hot asphalt #5

We arrived in Kingston and I managed to stay awake till 10 pm, local time. I had been awake for 23 hours #6

I wrote my first blogpost #7

Thanks for reading:)

Liefs!
