Bybye Canada ...

6 months that I am in Canada. Wahou, time goes so fast, maybe too fast...
Today is my last day at UofC. I should say my last day in Alberta because I was most often in Rockies montains as UofC... .
When I arrived in February, it was inconcevable for me to go every days at university. Why to go abroad only to work! We can work in France too!!!So, I was determined to visit the west side of Canada.
My first trip was a snowshoeing trip one week after my arrival date. Just one word for these first steps in Rockies : mervelous !! Then I did touring and backcountry ski near Rogers Pass in BC : an unforgettable weekend. What better for a french guy who loves nature, mountains and snow !!!
However, it was pretty difficult for me at the beginning due to the language, another culture and lifestyle. Fortunately, I have met a lot of very nice persons in my laboratory but sometimes pretty busy too. (What do you think about that, Seughun? :), life is too short to see all, enjoy !!! ).
I was looking for a club to go out every weeks and I have found the Outdoor club of Calgary. A very good way to meet a lot of persons :) I did backcountry ski, hike, scramble, rafting and backpacking trip with genial persons in Banff, Yoho, Jasper or Waterton Lakes National Park. A lot of jokes, amazing landscape, a gorgeous country, wahooo...., so good !!!
Today, I am sad to fly back to France but happy too because I will see my family, my french friends and my girlfriend. I will take two weeks of vacation (even if I am considering I am in vacation since last Febrary :D ) and I will go to UK just after for another internship in a race car compagny.
I really hope Newbury will be as well as Calgary !!!
So, thanks a lot everybody for all !!! I had very great time with you !!! Maybe see you next 6 months in England!!

Don't hesitate to let me know if you are planing to fly to France, you will be welcome!!!
Take care!!!
Bybye.(and don't shrink back from letting coments just below , I will be happy to read them in France!!!)

Salut les amis !!!

  • Quentin,
    It seems that you have done many things in 6 months more than I've done in last 5 years in Calgary^^.

    I am glad to hear that you had good time in here.

    Good luck on your future!!

    With best,
    Seunghun
