First entry in Canada :)
Just before i was about to start for the airport in Duesseldorf, i got the amazing news, that Mrs. Hilliard found a room for me. New Floors, new Furniture, new Owners, overall pretty amazing. A big THANKS to you Mrs. Hilliard :)
The flight was nice, i had the greatest Legroom ever:
I had a nice conversation with the canadian next to me, who was as amazed as me by the legroom :D
On my other side sat a young family with a baby girl. On Take off she couldn't stop crying, so i made some grimaces and she immidiately calmed down, the parents looked pretty relieved.
Arriving in Toronto all was well until i came to the customs officer who asked me for documents from the university (letter of acceptance) and my flight back, which i didn't have printed. Thank goodness for the free wifi at pearson airport, which allowed me to show them to her.
After that little shock it was off to the rental car companies, since me and my parents decided that would be best for the first day. Only the prices we saw on the internet, weren't for downtown dropoff and a driver under 25. 200 CAD was a bit much, so i walked the way back to the shuttle terminals and bought a ticket for 30 CAD.
The Shuttle ride was uneventful, but pleasent, since they too had free wifi :)
Arriving at the hostel and checking in, i learned that i could become a member of hostelling international, even if i'm not a canadian citizen, which the website didn't suggest at all. After i locked away my luggage, i set off to find something to eat. On the shuttle ride i saw a burgerplace within walking distance of the hostel, so i went there.
BEST IDEA EVER. The Burger was delicious, the fries were homemade and the coke came in measuring cups:
Now i'm just writing this entry and then going to bed, it was a hard day :)
goodnight everyone :)

Der Erste Eintrag in Kanada!
Kurz bevor wir zum Flughafen aufbrechen wollten, kam die Nachricht, dass Frau Hilliard ein Zimmer für mich gefunden hat. Neue Böden, neue Möbel, neue Besitzer, alles in allem ziemlich genial. Ein riesiges DANKESCHÖN an Frau Hilliard :)
Der Flug war klasse, ich hatte die beste Beinfreiheit überhaupt:
Als ich in Toronto angekommen war, war alles ok. Bis ich zur Zollbeamtin kam. Die wollte nämlich alle möglichen Dokumente von mir haben, die ich gar nicht dabei hatte. Zum glück hat der Flughafen kostenloses wifi, dadurch konnte ich der Zöllnerin den letter of acceptance der uni, meinen Rückflugtermin etc. zeigen. Danach gings zu den Mietwagen, da meine Eltern und ich beschlossen hatten, dass das für den ersten Tag am besten wäre. Allerdings stand im Internet nicht, dass man für downtown dropoff und Fahrer unter 25 extra zahlen muss: 200 Dollar ist einfach happich für einen Tag. Also zurück zu den Shuttleterminals. Ein Downtown shuttle, was mich direkt vor dem Hostel abgesetzt hat, gab es dann auch schon für 30 Dollar. Beim Einchecken konnte ich dann doch Mitglied von Hostelling International werden :)
Nachdem ich dann mein Gepäck weggeschlossen hatte, bin ich losgezogen mir was zu futtern zu holen. Ich hatte auf dem Hinweg nen coolen Burgerladen in Fussreichweite entdeckt und bin dann da auch hingelaufen.
BESTE IDEE ÜBERHAUPT :)
Der Burger war genial, die Fritten selber aus Kartoffeln geschnitzt und die Coke wurde in Messbechern serviert:
Nun sitze ich hier nur noch und schreib den Beitrag, gehe aber gleich pennen, war ja ein langer Tag :)
Gute Nacht ihr alle
