Opening a bank account and the first training session at Public Outreach

Tuesday, Aug 9
I got up at 8 am and had the spontaneous decision to have breakfast at the same sun again =D My appointment at the bank was at 10 am. It took about half an hour to settle everything with my new bank account with already 20 CAD on it xD =D i have to have some reserve money on it in order to be able to pay the monthly fee of 4 CAD. In this way I have 10 transactions for free. Otherwise I always would have to pay 1 CAD for each transaction... everything costs sth. in Canada! ^^
(In the evening I checked my internet banking and everything works fortunately =) ).
I dropped in to the SWAP office shortly to read some information about UNICEF ( the organization i will fundraise for when i got the job at Public Outreach). The farm near Whistler and the one on Vancouver Island have still offered to host me, by the way. That's why I had some difficulties to make a decision, as I had now 3 possibilities for the future time (fundraising job in Vancouver, farm near Whistler for a week, farm on V. I. For a longer time). I decided to try to postpone the fundraiser job in vancouver a bit.
The training at noon was quite nice and was pretty alike the one of the Bund Naturschutz in Germany. I learned lots about UNICEF and communication tools.
I talked to the manager whether it is possible to postpone the training for about a month and he said that its only possible for a week. So that means altogether, that i will work on the farm near whistler for a week and then come back for the fundraiser job in vancouver. At least i could combine two things of three =) =D But i still hope that i can go to that other farm on V. I. Someday.
I met Stefan again for a while, eating my first crepe with maple sirup, but we both went home quite early, as we were both quite tired =D I did some other stuff, like writing the blog and some postcards, until i finally went to bed – NOW =D
