"Home" and home
Hey everyone, I know I haven't blogged for a couple of days, so I just want to let you know that I have safely arrived to Calgary, my 2nd "home". I left Quebec City on the 29th @ 610AM and I arrived here in Calgary at around 1110AM. The flight was pretty uneventful, it was actually surprising a smooth ride from Quebec to Calgary. I got all my luggage and everything went alright. The only thing that was a little odd was that the Calgary airport had put my plane on a dual citizenship gate that lets in both Canada and the US, and usually it would not have been a big deal. However, somehow there was a lack of communication and we ended up being stuck in the bridge that was between the airplane and the actual airport. I took a taxi to the rez, and that is where I am currently staying.
Calgary has been great so far because I got a chance to meet with all of my friends and just to hang out and talk about what has happened in my life and theirs for the past 7ish months. I was reminded of what I had learnt at a intercultural class because I know that it would be a little different reintegrating back into Western Canadian culture. Well, so far I am getting used to speaking in English again. Another thing that I have noticed was the taste of the water. I have been living in Quebec City for 7 months, and I have realized that Calgary water does not taste very pleasant. Boiled or not, so I am adjusting back to that. I am getting used to the fact that I don't have to push a button at every intersection to be able to cross the streets because in Quebec, if we don't push the button on the intersection, we won't have the right of way to cross the intersection.
Finally, I am going back home tomorrow. I am excited to go home and to enjoying back in Edmonton. Yay!
This is not the end of my blog, because I will do a recap of some of the things that I have learned. I will start posting a retrospect series next week when I come back to Calgary.
