Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week 1: Monday

At 9:30 we left to Lethrbidge to get a rental car. A guy took us in a room and we talked through the possibilities. He knew I was from the Netherlands based on my accent. Thought I managed to hide it, but sadly no XD He got my information and lead me to the car: A white ford fiesta.
Looks fancy! and the interior is something Im not used to. Renze drove first so he could show me how the car worked. He did warn me I shouldn't pull up that fast, so had to keep that in mind.
At Coaldale it was time for me to drive alone back home. I stepped in and pulled up too fast xD but driving on the highway was easy. As it was just one long road without any challenges I decided to go driving alone in the afternoon. I had my GPS and drove to Lethbridge to find the internship company by myself. It went alright! My GPS did fall one time so I didn't hear her directions and accidentally missed a turn, but luckily there was a roundabout so I could drive back.
When driving back I got the challenges of the traffic lights, but it was rather easy.
Driving in an automatic car is fun and easy. I can pay much more attention to my surroundings now instead of worrying about what gear the car is in (Yes, I sometimes do that)

I got home safely and told my dad on skype how it went. I had some pasta for supper and after that I went to bed because I got a headache and was extremely tired. Instead of laying down for an hour I stayed in bed as I started to feel worse.

Before heading to bed I already made an appointment with the internship company. I was supposed to start at 10, but he called later that he forgot an appointment and that I could start at 1.
