exciting weekend...not
had my afs cultural day. where all the exchange students in montreal central (about 115) came together to share our culture. we decided to be really friendly and do the haka. that was the most embarassing thing i have ever done. there were 4 other nzers there....and i was suprised to find out im the only one that speaks french. so i was translating most of the night. but i kept thinking what it must be like for them not to be able to make friends concentrate at school...etc. and 2 of them have changed familys already. one cos she was fed really badly and the other cos she didn`t like her family (?). i found out my host family thinks om messy (cos i dont make my bed), so i have to be good and keep it clean. i had a bit of a scare when i thought they were saying they didnt like me using my cellphone and talking to ppl in nz. but no it was just a weird communication problem and i feel stupid for thinking otherwise. so a good day.

today i went shopping for winter stuff. got mittens (how cool am i???) a very funky-i-want-to-say-vest-but-youll-think-im-unfashionable- vest like garment, a thick hoody and a scarf to match my mittens....maybe i am a nerdy unfashionable foreigner?? oh well im having fun.

and we went to the tanning salon. yeah uv skin cancer blah blah blah..but i dont wanna be white for my cruise in 2 months. kinda got freaked when the sunbed kept creaking and i kept thinking final destianation 3....so that defeated the whole relax while you tan feel to the place.

and tonite im home alone reheating chicken pie for dinner yum..............

You do realise that it offends Maori culture if a female performs the haka right?

It gives you an excuse to avoid doing it again.
