the canada trip

Partap had chalked out a nice little three day plan for both of us. Well at 5 'o clock in the morning Bhuaji wake me up . By now I was sick and tired of traveling in and around Calgary, Cochraine and Banff for a week. Canada is beautiful but I had seen too much of it in too short a time span. Well a hour later I found myself in the plane going to Ontario, thousands of miles away. In the four hour flight I was awake for only fifteen minutes. I felt sorry for partap who was kind of bored and wanted to talk but couldn't help it.

Well at toronto airport we rented a car then commenced our canada trip. I was really excited now and moving at 120 Km/hour, may be talking at 30 words/minute. We went to the downtown, walked around for a couple of hours had a couple of hot chocolates, ate salads( i have never had so much salad in my whole life as I have eaten in this last week) went to CN tower, with the height of 558 meters it is probably the highest towers of world. then drove around 250 Km to kinston . The highway is one of the most beautiful highways in the world and I was at my philosophical best. By the time we reached kinston it was 10 in the night, so had a vegetarian pizzza and dozed off. Next day I went to Queen's. Its exactly the same as I had expected. The old castle type bulidings, a hostel that looks like a mini citadel, with all those creepy vines twining on the walls, it resembles Hogwarts of Harry Potter and I am truly madly deeply in love with it atleast for now.
We dropped off all the stuff and partap acting like a responsible cousin, may be after realizing how careless I am, ran off all the errands. It rained the whole day. but I love kinston, it has so many beautiful buildings , lake ontario -one of the five great lakes and it is much more greener than toronto or calgary. Well an ideal place to study. At night to put and end to this hectic day, we decided to walk around and find a nice place to eat. One of the clubs refused me an entry because I didn't have PhotoID proof. I was in case going to show them my passport, the only proof I had. Its kind of crazy living in a foreign country without an identity. Well finally we found a very nice Mediterranean food corner to eat and had a long, nice dinner. We deserved that after all the day's hard work.

Next day we went to an island through a free ferry. Well this Wolfe island is the place I loved the most in Canada. Green Fields, peaceful, serene and calm. then I realized that that the reason I like this place so much is because it looks so much like Punjab. Even the air smelt of fields in Punjab. Met an old couple, sat beside the lake and did some wild life photography. Afterwards went to Fort Henry.its a part of world heritage site, kind of boring in the day. But they say the place is haunted and they give guided tours in night. I am booked for one. In the evening said goodbye to partap and within an hour got ready to attend a meet and greet party and met many of the future classmates. Ironically it was the same place where I was refused an entry a day before.
