First day in Whistler

Hey you lot! Today not the laundry woke me up but the two little children... :-) But I have to say that I'm so happy with this familiy. They're so nice and the chlidren so cute. Today I had the best breakfast since a long time, because in the last 3 weeks I had only cereals and white toast without anything (peanut butter is not really my thing...). I really enjoyed the kind of "müesli" they have here and the self-made jam. And like yesterday we had a stew (today with moose meat) for dinner which was delicous. No comparision to what I ate for the last 3 weeks.
Also I've already met one neighbour who's a retiree so he had a lot of time to speak with me. He tried to refresh his german which was very funny for me. Also he stayed for dinner and we talked a lot about everything (From the gorvenment of Canada or USA across the flag of Berne to all his jobs he did in his life...) during the parents were busy to bring their chlidren to bed.
This afternoon I went to the village which took me about a 20 minute walk. After 3 weeks of a big town like Vancouver it's really nice to be closer to the nature. All the trees look so nice because of the fall. Just when I entered the village a girl came out of a store and said hello to me but in "bärndütsch". First I was confused but then I noticed that I really met someone from Berne. What a coincidence!! She went to the same school as I did and participated in the Funk Fever (=> Mirjam who was one of the lead singer for those who know her). She lives in Kitimat which is further to the north and they have a vacation trip to vancouver with the student-exchange-year-company and today they visited Whistler..
Whistler is a nice village but you can see that everything is quite new. It's absolutely no comparison to the nice little villages in the alps of Switzerland. It has a lot of shops and you can see that in winter there will be a lot people around. But at the moment the atmosphere is like "Ruhe vor dem Sturm"... (anyone who has an english translation for this german expression is very welcom)
So I feel very happy here and can't wait for the first snow. But first I've to go school which starts tomorrow, that's why I have to finish for now, but you'll hear about me soon!
Greetings Moritz

Die Ruhe vor dem Sturm
entweder "the calm before the storm" oder " the quiet before the storm"
