WHISTLER!!
Hi Everyone,
A quick note to let you all know that I went to Whistler yesterday! It was AWESOME. For anyone who has skiid in Aus, imagine Thredbo, multiply it by about 4 in terms of size, and you're getting close. Long runs, soft snow, everything is so huge and so awesome. I took a lesson in the afternoon - it was for 2 hours and cost $79, pretty pricey. Everything there is so expensive, like the food- I bought a hot dog for lunch for $6 plus tax.
There's seriously Australians at Whistler than Canadians. No joke - I bought poles from an Australian in Can-Ski, had my skiis adjusted by an Australian in one of the rental shops, bought a drink from an Australian at the bar.... it's scary, I feel like I'm back home.
I have the UBC Whistler Lodge booked for next Friday and the Friday after that so I will have many more Whistler stories to come. The bad news is, the temperature was -15 in the Village and -30 up the top of the mountain and as a result I have gotten pretty sick... I spent most of the day in bed today, though was OK enough to go out for dinner for an Aussie friend's 21st tonight. ($12.50 for all you can eat Japanese)
Tomorrow I have class, and in the evening we are all going to Salsa dancing class. Yeh, I had to be talked into it, but my partner is this Mexican girl who looks a bit like Penelope Cruz (but better), so I didn't need too much convincing.
Nothing much else to tell you except I have enabled comments on this site at the request of many people so make sure you post some! If I don't get any comments I'm just gonna disable it again!!
Hope you're all enjoying the summer. If only we could get one day of sun here... sigh...
Later
