Real Life

Ive been in Canada for nearly a week now and ive adjusted to the cold. Its starting to warm up but is still around -20. I got my season pass this morning so i have been enjoying free endless powder lines all day today. If you want to contact me send me an email at sammjb@hotmail.com or try and call me on skype (samm.burrell) around 2pm Australian time.

Time stands still

Update

So last night i finally arrived in Lake Louise to be greeted with negative 50 degrees temperature and a bunch of drunk friends. We went out to the pub up the road and i got far too drunk which lead to me being a corpse in bed all day today. Its unbelievably cold here. Im living in an apartment with wes and a few canadian and french guys, which is pretty cool.

Lost At Sea

This morning i finally arrived in Vancouver after endless hours traveling through airports and bus stations. After 14 hours flying over the sea and a few scotches i stepped off the plane and breather in that fresh negative 6 degrees air. At the moment Im sitting in a hostel in downtown Vancouver, getting ready for tomorrows travels to Calgary and then onto Lake Louise where ill be living. Im excited to unpack and settle in for the season.
For now, Where is my mind?

Commuting

Passers by, Strangers caught up in the hustle and bustle of the rush that is peak hour in Melbourne. Today, well actually right now as im typing, I caught a train to see my father. As i sit here and wonder where everyone else is going and what they are doing, I realise that this is what my life is going to be like for the next 7 or 8 months. Living out of bags, sitting on trains backwards dazing out the window as a blur of green and browns flies past, im excited. Speaking of, My flight is on the 18th of december, and being the 1st today, I am extremely anxious to leave. I fly to Sydney extremely early in the morning of the 18th and then have an 8am flight to Vancouver, Canada, which arrives at 7am the same day, weird being 18 or so hours behind us. I then stay in Vancouver for a night as i need to get my bank account set up etc... The next morning i am flying to Calgary, this will only take an hour and a half or so, which then I will catch a three hour bus ride to Lake Louise where I will hopefully be greeted by my friends and where i will live for the next 5 months.

For Now, Where is My Mind?
