Today I've experienced real Canada!
Hey guys,

today I relaxed a bit in the morning and prepared myeself for the first interview here in Vancouver. I took as well other clothes to change afterwards because i wanted to go with Brook to Lynn Canyon.
So i set off at about 11.15 am and was of course much to early at the place where the interview was held =P but well, at 1 pm Josh came to see me and lead me to his office.
Well, what did he ask? Of your course, since when I am in canada and what i want to do here in Canada and how long i will stay in Vancouver etc. He asked me about previous experiences with customer service and why i believe that i am the best one for the job. Actually questions one can guess before that they will be asked.
I should describe myself in three words and explain how I react if get stressed.
Cymax is an online-shop for furniture and other stuff, my the way. And my task would mainly be to take phone calls and solve the problems the customers have (to explain the duties in short).
So no idea, if i would be able to manage that, even if i get the job.
At the beginning of next week i should now if i got the job or not.
On the way to the interview i met some guys by the way who worked in the same position as I did in Germany: they advertised for a nature company and tried to gain more members. So I asked them about jobs of course =P and I got an adress and a phone number... so I will check that tomorrow if there is a job available for me... =)
Then I met Brook finally at 1.30 pm at the samesun hostel.
We headed together to the skytrain and took then the seabus to North Vancouver. There again with the bus to Lynn Canyon.
Lynn Canyon is like a huge park or a huge forest. We walked across a suspension bridge and rested down at a 30ft-deep pool. And then the crazy adventure really started...
There were a lot of people and some were already jumping down some rough rocks. So Brook said he wanted to do that as well and finally he did... of course i had to join in somehow.....
what was a little embarassing at first that i did not find the way up to the rock xD but really, the trees look all the same and i misunderstand somehow the explaination of the way =P =D and ive never been good at orientation and finding ways. With map: no problem. But without... no way =P at least till now. Ive got still hope that it will get better some day =D =)
so yeah, a woman brought me back to brook and he showed me then the way. Oh my god, I can tell you it was so high. Brook estimated about 20 metres and I think he was right. At least 15 metres.
After some seconds (it felt like minutes) in which my heart was throbbing like mad I jumped down in the cool mountain water. Wow, what an experience. Not sure, if I want to repeat that, though =P
My butt is quite bruised now xD because i hit the water a bit wrong... but well i survived everything , so no worries =)
Afterwards, we dried a little bit in the last sun rays on the rocks and left the place at about 05.30 pm. At least I was at home at about 8 pm. That was probably the last time I saw brook. At least for a while. Perhaps we meet each other a second time in Canada (perhaps in London, Ontario) or in New Zealand (Auckland =) ). Was a quite great time hanging out with him , so its a pity that he is leaving tomorrow. Thats the way of travelling, however. You constantly get to know new people – their leaving and coming.
Perhaps I am leaving quite soon myself. It seems as if I have got the chance to get to vancouver island to work on i farm. If yes, then i get there free accommodation and food =D would be great! Probably I can only say that for sure somewhen next week. But either I go there or ive got a job here in vancouver, I think =) =D
As it was a quite long, excting and tiring day today, i wanna go sleeping now (10.30 pm). Cya guys =) =D
