Turkeydinners and exchange students!

I feel like I have so much to tell, because it's been too long since I last wrote in my blog.
Last weekend was a blast! There wasn't time for one boring minute, and I met a lot of people, which was awesome!
Friday, I knew I had plans. I was going to Langley to visit Olivia and go to her "goodbye-party" in the evening. She's going to Spain in a few days now, and oh my god I'm going to miss her so much! She was definitely my first real friend here, and I just have so much fun with her. But I wish her the best - everyone deserves to go on exchange, especially her! :) So anyway, at the party there was quite a lot of people. All Olivias friends of course, and they had a lot of fun together. I didn't know anyone, but I met them all, and I talked to one girl called Lea most of the end of the evening. We then spend the night watching movies, making salad at 5 am, haha, and then sleeping for just 2 hours. Surprisingly enough I was very fresh and awake when I woke up after the 2 hours of sleep, but when Jason came to pick me up in the afternoon, I literally fell asleep before we got to the end of the little street in the car.
Jason went shopping in Costco while I was sleeping in the car, waking up in awkward positions every 10 minutes. The sleeping in the car did help, though, and a little lack of sleep definitely couldn't stop me from doing anything that evening! Jason, Julie, Tereza and I were going to the theatre by the casino in town, and in the car on our way there, I was singing and dancing like I just had five espresso shots.
In the theatre we saw a dancing show called "Dancing with our stars", which was a copy of the tv-show "Dancing with the stars (vild med dans)." The difference was just, that this show was with local people, and that the money from the tickets were donated to a local hospice. After the show this man came up to me. I thought: "Oh there's another rotary member I haven't met yet.." The man introduced himself and gave me his golden Coquitlam pin, which he with a glimpse in his eye told me was an old pin, which had been in his family for generations... For a few seconds I actually believed him. When he then walked away, Tereza looked at me and said: "Oh you just met the mayor!" I looked at her confused - I didn't notice that at all. But well, now I've met the mayor of Coquitlam!

So, Sunday was another day of adventures. I woke up a bit early and got picked up by Orland from the Port Moody club. He had last years Canadian exchange student, who had been in Japan, with him. We were going to a salmon hatchery! When we got there some voulenteers were walking around, eating cake, chatting. Orland showed Brett (the x-exchange student) and I around and told us about how it all worked. Unfortunately we didn't get to catch any fish, because it wasn't season for that yet.
So we went home pretty early, and when I got back home, the Thanksgiving dinner-cooking began! Uhm, what a smell that spread around in the house! The turkey was stuffed, the cranberries was made into sauce, potatoes were mashed and veggies were cooked. The meal was terrific!

1. At the hatchery. 2. Big fat turkey :D. 3. Julie by the table.
4. Sofieeee. Because I'm in lack of photos..

After enjoying the meal, Tereza and Bill invited us over to have dessert. I went over early, because Olivia came and asked me to come and make ice cream, and a bit later both Jason and Julie came over. I had one of the funniest evenings so far! I was eating so much good dessert, pumpkin pie and apple crisp, we were listening to The Lonely Island, Olivia and I were doing weird but funny dances, and I must've had a permanent smile on my face for the entire evening.

Monday was a day off, but I just relaxed and did nothing, so a bit of laziness did sneek in.
Now it's wednesday, and tomorrow all of the exchange students who are in district 5050 are coming over! They are all going to be staying at my house or Bill and Terezas. I'm so excited to meet them all! I just made a big lasagna for dinner one night, and Jason and I went shopping big time in Costso earlier. We're not going to starve! So now I better get so sleep so I'm ready to meet them all tomorrow.. I probably will be anyway, but.. still.

G'night!
