new "kids" on the blog" ;-)

Welcome back or...welcome on Kai´s and Tanja´s blog. Just arrived in Toronto together our plan is to update the blog more than once a year ;-). Because of my (Tanja) part time job I´ll try to keep you informed about our experiences in Canada. I´ll try in English, too. That gives me exercise. Hopefully, you will understand.


Okay, where should I start...?


After a stressful but very nice -last- week in Germany (thank you all for the gifts, wishes, time, trips etc. we enjoyed everything) it was pretty easy to immigrate to Canada, Toronto for me.


Even though I am dependend on Kai now (:-)) and especial his visa, I got one for 2 years and I am allowed to work!!! After 20 minutes we arrived at the conveyor belt before our 5 pieces of luggage were there!!! Grandiose!


When we opened the door to our flat in the 33rd floor, with the great view over the harbour and lake, we both felt comfortable again..to be at home! Tired but lucky we spend the rest of the evening with organizing things in the flat...having a pizza ...and went to bed early.


For Wednesday we had plans already!!!! SCHLAAAAND!!!!!! In the afternoon we went to the German chamber to watch the game against Turkeye. Because of transmission promblems we didn´t see 2 goals but I think we agree that that was an exciting game!!! I have to commend that it felt a little bit strange to watch a soccergame Germany against Turkeye in the German Chamber with an English speaking commentator among 20 german speaking people....?!?

But I can´t say that the Canadians are not interested in....on our way back to the flat Kai was asking by some people in the streets if Germany won...because of his German trikot - he is real FAN!!!! As you can see here: :-)


The next days Kai had to leave for a businesstrip. I joined him to meet some new canadian friends...it was fun for me and work for Kai. but we enjoyed St. Peterborough for dinner together with Matthew and his wife Dominique and little Sophia...she talked french to me the whole weekend...but no prolem for me...as you know...kids love me even if I don´t understand them ;-)


3 year old Sophia after weekend-entertainment of myself :-))))







Yesterday we watched the game in our flat....no commend!!!


Picture taken before the game was over!!!! :-)))))





So, now I will enjoy the sun outside - "have a good one" somebody said to me yesterday in the elevator....seems to be canadian!!
