The last few days have been absolutely crazy! We arrived to Toronto at 6.45 am on Sunday and walked straight in to our student residence 89 Chestnut. We had just sat in the nightbus for eleven hours and suddenly we were thrown into a huge crowd of people. The day went by pretty fast and we met alot of people. Almost everyone on our floor is exchange students from all over the world. We've done a lot of things with our new floormates; we've explored the city and ...

It seems that they didn't work out because we had an foreign character (French accent grave) in our file names.

Two full days in Montreal have gone quickly. Yesterday we had a lazy morning and getting up after a long bus trip was difficult, especially for me. We headed to downtown where we met Toni and we spent a couple of hours with her in Montreal`s Old City. We just wandered around and stopped for a lunch in a restaurant where we sat on a second floor terrace.
