Hey!
Back from sailing camp! Sorry there arn't any pictures right now, they are on the other computer and its internet is currently down. I'll try to put them up either today or tomorrow, but no promises.
Sailing is very cool, I love it. We stay in a youth hostel with the sailing instructors and some staff. I stayed in a room with 4 other girls, everyone was vry nice. Our boats were small 5-6 person boats, so there were 4-5 people in each boat with an instuctor, and the groups changes everyday so that every one got to sail with different people. We would normally leave between 9-9:30, sail till around 12, eat lunch in a little town and then sail back to where we were staying. Everyone got to learn how to opperate all parts of the boat. Steering was my favourite thing to do. Hold the ropes for the main sail and the jib hurt the hands! Also, when sailing, you get VERY wet.
Also school trips are much different here than back in Canada! For one, no teachers went with us, it was just the sailing instructors till us. Also, we didn't have a set time to go to bed. THe last night, we stay up and danced and chilled out with the younger sailing instructors till 6 in the morning. I'd like to see that happen on the schoo trip back home!
I think thats it about sailing, but I have something else to write about other that sailing...
As of today I have been in Holland one month! Wow time flies, it hasn't felt nearly that long.
Some things I have learned it that, Hi5's, the phrases "awesome", and "okay" have extended to europe,Chinese food is all over the world, along with swearing (everyone swears in english) and that mayo on fries is really good and high gas prices is good for the environment. Also, with a few words in dutch an a smile, everyone is willing to help you.
Still Loving Holland.
Doei!

P.S. I had to make an account to be able to comment lol. and i think thats pretty stupid.
Hey Jayden!
I'm so jealous of your school trips! Wow! I wish we could stay up however late we wanted...that would make band trips even more excellent.
I agree with Kaylee, school here sucks. And I miss you quite terribly!
