The arrival

Thursday July 23rd,

After a long trip from beirut - london, London - edmonton, i met some lebanese at the airports and airplanes.

Elie and his Wife picked me up from the airport at 6 PM and drove me to the "wite house" where i'm supposed to be living for the next two years during my period of studies at Concordia.

Finally i got to meet Margerette ! She's a nice old (not very old) woman who lives alone with her dog,

she loves animals. It turned out that she's one of the very few pure native indians of Canada (that's native canadians who were here hundreds of years ago, who lived from hunting, fishing and whatnot).

We had a nice evening getting to know each other, she introduced me to the culture of her people (as native

indian), and some religious seasons that native indians are still doing untill today.

Margerette is Christian, and she is religious, howver, she's been married and divorced twice.

She has a married son who lives on the other side of town, and a beautiful daughter who's out of town to a small iland in british columbia on a vacation.

10:07 PM, it's still bright outside and not dark ! I had to set up my room (it's a basement with a private bathroom), move out the stuff to the garage, which made me way more tired than ever.

I had to visit our neighbour to use his internet connection to text my parents back home and tell them everything's fine here. I h

ave no internet connection in my room yet.

11:35 PM, I just finished my bath

, I'm laying in my bed feeling so tired... i'm asleep..
