Wednesday

I slept in really badly this morning - I think it was a mixture of being up till two last night, and the jetlag I've been ignoring all week. I feel much more refreshed now after a good sleep! Today was our shopping day and we hit the St. Vital Mall, rather a huge shopping centre. I seem to be getting quite excited about a load of things that Canadians take for granted - like prairies and ... AMERICAN EAGLE ... where I spent the most money! I also had the chance to try poutine (not to be confused with poteen) which is a gravy chip with cheese curds. All I can say is ... YUM! After dinner we headed out to Rebecca's friend's birthday party which was at an Ethiopian restaurant (evidence of Canada's varied culture). I tried some of the Ethiopian food, I'm not sure what it was but it was quite nice! I am really enjoying the experiences like these which you wouldn't have if travelling independantly.


WILDLIFE UPDATE: we saw some Canadian geese at the side of the road today.



This is me trying to make chemistry googles look sexy. As you can see, it was not overly successful.
