Oops, forgot something – CN Tower + view from Mont Royal on video

I totally forgot to tell that I was in the CN Tower last week! And that it was absolutely wonderful.

I went there with some of the other international students. You can se the pictures on Facebook but I’ve also got a video of it. Check it out on YouTube.

For the lazy ones of you, here’s my favourite picture of the view:

Being up in the CN Tower actually freaked me out a bit though I’m not usually scared of heights. Standing at the “first” floor at I don’t know how many metres, looking all the way down through a glass window made my stomack turn!

That's my feet very cautiously standing on the glass floor

I’ve also got a video from the view at Mont Royal in Montréal, also on YouTube. And in the former post just below this one you can read all about the trip and see one of the pictures from the view.

School has started + weekend get-away in Montréal

Pheeww.. Had a very busy week last week! I had thought that the first week of school would be very nice and easy. But I had a challenge: To follow or not to follow a finance class. Well, I got so scared and went with a less frightening course: Regulation, government and socially responsible management.

This decision was not made until Thursday night at around 10.30 though. This was around the same time I realised that I had to start packing for the trip arranged by some of the other international students to Montréal the following day. I had also been in doubt of whether to go on this trip or not since starting school actually stressed me out a bit (some would say A LOT).

It would from an academic perspective probably have been better to stay home, read the new books and get everything in place. At the same time I felt the need for a small adventure.

So off I went to Montréal

Thomas from Austria was the great tour guide. He and some of his fellow Austrians rented two cars and reserved rooms for us all at a great hostel in Montréal. Friday morning at 9. a.m Thomas and the other driver, Katharina (also from Austria), picked us up and the road trip was on

Montréal is a great city! I looooove the Frenchiness (can you say that?) about it! Funny to walk around in a city where you can stand next to a beautiful Notre Dame-like church and turn around and then look at a skyscraper

We went sightseeing to Mont Royal where there’s a great view of the city, had dinner at a nice restaurant Saturday evening, went to a kind of funny club/pub at night, chilled out at the port or harbour on Sunday and had mussels at a nice little restaurant before we went back to Toronto at 5 p.m.

I then spent all night coughing I have somehow catched a cold (probably because everybody else in my unit has been sick the last 2 weeks ). So today, Monday, it’s VERY MUCH Monday! I have to study a lot, I’ve actually not yet opened a book nor read a single page!

So that’s it for now…
