How to bore you in one week

---

OK I'm really sorry for adding another blog so quickly however I have actually done something today and since most of the time my blogs are going to be pretty boring as they will involve skiing, skiing and a bit more skiing.

So after my blog last night a load of the group decided that a house party was in order I opted out and judging by the state of them this morning it was probably a good choice.

We headed out first thing to a shopping mall and sorted out our Canadian mobiles ironically it was $49 for a mobile and pay as you go sim and you got $20 worth of credit or $40 for the sim only. Anyway it is now set up so if you text my uk mobile you will get a response from my canadian mobile as it only costs me 12p to send an international text!

We then headed into Quebec city itself and met up with our guide for the afternoon Yves. He took us on a driving and walking tour which was really interesting however I now want to go back and actually have time to wander round the streets for myself and have a look in the shops - not that us unemployed people have a lot of money to spend!!

I am now sat here chilling whilst two of the group cook spag bol of us all. Tomorrow involves my first day of training so its instruction from 10 - 12 and 1 - 3. Woo hoo....... =;0)

After everyones comments about Charlie I can confirm he is still happy but suffering from jet lag so spent the day in bed but don't worry I promise he will feature on some more photos soon.

The humble abode
My shared bedroom of choice for the next 10 weeks. Not sure how tidy it will stay during that time.

It still looks all christmasy here
Supposedly they keep the decorations up until the winter carnival has been and gone and then they decorate for easter and they then celebrate Christmas on the 24 June (not sure about this one but the guide was pretty convincing!!)

The additions from left to right are:
George, Sam, Nicky, Kate, Tom and Dan
