Many things accomplished!

Hello again people! I’m now sitting in front of the computer at 9:40pm drinking some tea and just relaxing. Today we managed to accomplish a lot of things and we are both very proud of ourselves despite a terrible nights sleep (for the not snoring one of us). But let me now take you back to the beginning.

Both I and Cathy woke up at 6am in the morning, I blamed this on jetlag, but I’ve never had it before so I’m not sure. We realized at the same time that this room that we have rented is not our soul mate; we don’t connect with the room and the room probably didn’t like us either. The location of next to the parking, entrance door, reception, hallway door, first floor and sharing bathroom didn’t help either. So we did what all real heroes do, upgrade!

Now we have a room on the third floor (much, much more quiet) own bathroom and a mosquito net by the window. Cathy loved the bathroom, I was quite fascinated by the mosquito net… pictures of this new kingdom that I call “Henrania” (despite Cathy’s complaints about the name) will be up shortly.

After moving, we went out on a scavenger hunt for food! We found a little place called “Rock bottom” which I still don’t get what it referred to, the people that goes there or the place itself, however they had quite nice food there.

Cathy ordered a salad, good Cathy!

Haha just kidding, this was Cathys meal…. Bad Cathy!

I wasn’t worse...

After the meal, we went to the University of Windsor for the first time and meet with Michelle, our exchange coordinator, she was very nice and helped us finding some great kitchen supplies, Cathy fell in love with a rice machine which we had to bring home…

We also found this old building on campus when we were looking for the place to get a student card. We still don’t know what this building is for, but old = important so I guess I have to sneak in later to check out what’s inside…

What is a town without its own Eiffel tower? NOTHING! Hence we found Windsor’s own Eiffel tower. Or you can use your imagination of what you think it looks like ;)

We were in dire (thank you Sandra) need of a pillow and a cover which actually is not called cover but something in French (that I just can’t remember) which made asking the sales staff so much harder. It took us a long time to get her to understand what we actually wanted.

She tried and convince us that the absolute cheapest (what I call cover) costs 40$. This didn’t stop me and Cathy going through every cover in the store…

And indeed we found us each a cover for only 19.9$, maybe we should work there instead? :p We also found pillows for 4.9$. I haven’t tried any of these yet, but Cathy seems to like it, sleeping as I write this.

On the way to the store and home, we walked on streets filled with houses, the strange thing was that 80% of them were closed shut with wood in front of windows and doors and 10% were on sale, very creepy to walk there…

I also wanted to show you guys were we are living, so this is UPlace, a student corridor with 24h reception, security, entertainment food and more! A little better nighborhood compared to the place above.

Cathy looks so comfortable in the new bed stuff, so I will also go to bed now and try the new bed stuff. Tomorrow we will go to an outlet store selling winter jackets which is having a sale and hopefully be a bit more like a tourist. But until then, peace and shout, Henrik signing out!
