I am in Canada - in Halifax to be specific. The first day I was here I was just tired from lack of sleep and travel sickness pills. Now I am tired from lack of sleep and jet lag. It doesn't help that my computer clock tells me it's gone 10pm when it's actually nearly dinner time.

Sel's kittens are very sweet, if crazy. It's been really cold here, except today which was really nice weather. I'd be happy if it stays like that.

So far I really like Canada and unlike America, don't feel a desperate need to go home. The accents aren't as bad and they do acknowledge the existence of the metric system, which helps a lot.

Even though I'd been warned, all the people are amazingly friendly and people in shops and restaurants can't do enough for you. Except tell you how to pay by plastic. And I had to have help getting money out of a cash machine because it asked me a question that was non-sensical (which account I wanted to get money from - the answer was the account that belonged to the card - but Sel explained why it asked that question - crazy system).

Tomorrow I go to Montreal on a sleeper train, which is quite exciting. Then I should be on the internet more because I won't have anyone I know with me - except when I meet livii, Hilary and maybe Manda. And to think I thought I didn't know anyone in Canada and it wouldn't be quite like my Australian trip.

If you want to see them, I have put 44 photos (mostly of kittens) at my flickr page - link down the side.
