canadian stuff

this weekend is a very canadian weekend. last nite we went out with the canada club that i recently joined. it was a great time to meet up with other canadians who had been here as little as 3 months or as long as 27+ years (a lot of "oot"s and "aboot"s to be heard in the conversations). we even met a guy that lives just a couple blocks from us and has only been here 3 months so i think we're gonna try to meet up with him in the near future and help him get settled in melbourne. it was great talking about things like ice hockey, snow storms and canadian food with people who know exactly what you're talking about and i think zac got a bit more of idea of the adjustment period that canadians (or anyone else migrating to oz) go through. tomorrow is gonna be more canadian stuff-- i found out last year that melbourne has an ice hockey team and the season just started up a couple weeks ago. i've convinced zac's mum to come watch the melbourne adelaide game with us tomorrow afternoon(both her and zac have never been). i'm hoping to get a few members of zac's family into ice hockey cuz its fun to watch-- and the rink is in a suburb that's hard to get to by public transport so it'd be nice if someone with a car wanted to go-- and wanted drive us too 8)
