They've Changed my Orientation, it's now International

Nova Scotian Tour Guides

Ok so I've now been here a few days now, and all seems pretty damn good. I suppose, being British, the first thing I should talk about is the weather, it's so good, hardly seen a single cloud just been blue skies and sun the whole way.

The start of the first day was fairly surreal; had a nice breakfast followed by being led to a talk by a bagpiper and a tiger. The talks were not great, kinda being told "Hey guys you should probably do some work ok." But the bbq's were good and also saw possibly the largest amount of pizza I ever have just stacks of it, like two tables covered and about 10 boxes high. Cinammon buns are also pretty awesome will be eating more of them.

Discovered all the English guys a few days in, when they organised a game of football, or soccer as they insist on calling it. We made a very solid team and were beating the Brazilians, got to be the first the English guys to have done that for a while. There are quite a lot of Americans here, but also a large number of people from more exotic places.

The Atlanitc isn't as wide as everyone thinks

Halifax is pretty cool, the sea is about 5 minutes away from where I'm staying, then the harbour is about 25 minutes in opposite direction, and there's more sea to south of me that's fairly close, but havn't visited there yet. There's a good bar scene around here, everywhere's pretty relaxed, bit strange that everywhere does table service and beer is a bit expensive but otherwise all is nice. Also not really used to the fact that they don't include tax in prices, which is kinda annoying but, oh well, don't think I'm going to be do much about that.

So that's most of my first few days, have orientation week going on now, a strangely sober freshers, and first few lectures this week so will take more about that next time.
