#115: I pack in my suitcase

a little. This is really a declared goal of mine. After the entire family to Canada, Go Florida and NY I wanna make it just a case for us to pack all. Lisa just manages yes to fly to Thailand with only a backpack and there 3 Weeks trying to get along. I have already 3 cleared by me to the side and try to consider me small packet exactly, I can combine as. For the beach I need grad once 2 T-shirts and so I suppose mainly jersey parts, you can put together small and require no space.

What I do not take unnecessary ballast. I'm going on holiday and recreation purpose and thus to drag the stress case, to pack, take more and more, because who knows, what, how, where could be. I admit, that the invention of the washing machine tabs it easier for me but also, because laundry is simply easier. And if need be, there are shops, where you can be aware of what needs to treat yourself and have no fear, how do I get the still in my suitcase.

But the case is still not packed and we'll see, I actually manage.

Travel story: Family Business

Actually, Police Sergeant D. Paton since the end of December 2012 Pension in aber am Montag 08. April 2013 He was in a party with around 200 Celebrated and honored people. First of all, the safety factor was equal to that day and evening enormously high, da rund 90 % The guests present were police officers. Some even in uniform and for many ladies hearts definitely worth a second look.

The Govenor of Ontario awarded him with a certificate and countless speeches and Überreichungen recorded the image of a police officer, saw of this job as a vocation. Impressive statements, so stayed in my head and:

1. He was then accompanied police officer and an unknown English band to your first appearance in Toronto. – THE BEATLES

2. to his 40 year work anniversary had to make a new badge for the first time, because there was no. Until his retirement with 48 Years of service, there are still 45 To celebrate years of service.

3. The former director of the High School in Dunnville said, that they had their best year in high school, as Dave Paton has tried this school with her and for the children to solve the problems.

4. Every single one of his partners or his platoon appreciate him as a fair coach, Partner and friend.

5. Tim Hortons – No.. 1 Meeting place for cops – Director insists, that Dave still participates in the Voluntary Day.

I went home that night and all’ the experience, the emotions are triggered in me above all, I wish, that this spirit of a task over and it does not matter whether job, Family, Friends, Children … rather is paid for by us. We thus do not save the world peace, prevent starvation, but we can make our own little world around us better.

Travel story: The Food Impression 1

Wer kennt Tim Hortons? I'm there every day and still do not know, what all of donuts, Cakes, Coffees … have. For many here it is a cherished tradition, that you go almost daily to Tim Hortons. People meet here, drinks his coffee – for us Austrians an allusion to, which could be coffee – decreases and a calorie-busting donuts, Cookie, Muffin, Cake, or something else in the 6 x 8 Series. It will meet friends and family there, and often works behind the counter also someone who is known.

Which one to try, and more than once, are the classic food courts. Of course, one finds mainly junk food. But what I can really recommend are New York Fries and who is courageous takes Sauces (Putin) to or seasoned with vinegar or other condiments offered. It also takes a no evil, if you umändert his burger or food. In Toronto and I have eaten at a food court my first sushi and this is almost 17 Years ago.

One thing I can recommend is to spontaneously go to a diner or restaurant, that is the way and means to meet Canada often long journeys. Yesterday we drove from Lake Erie to Simcoe, the nearest city. A larger city can be recognized, that there is a Walmart. On the way there we drove about Jarvis and there we had an impromptu lunch at a Chinese restaurant, that just made me addressed. It was sensational, tie Restaurant trouble learning, because it was already after 2 Clock was, and both cooks – certainly a couple far beyond 70 with stooping and both of Asian origin – already sat out. I got a homemade iced tea and ordered a spring roll and the house specialty “Singapoor Noodles” Pork and Sweet / sour with rice. Alone to see the cook, as she prepared the food while sitting, they cut everything and made dough and eating and her husband on the gas stove, everything cooked ready. The spring roll was much smaller, but also filled with a lot more bamboo shoots and chopped pork. The seasoning was slightly peppery and so different, as we know it. And what amazed me so in the following food no glutamate was found. The pork was not pressed but was light and flat baked, the sauce is great to. The noodles were not fat, and had mild curry peanut flavor. The meat cut into small pieces and find it no fat. And all for 20 EURO including tip and no lunch menu.

I am afraid now even before the scales at home!

Travel story: 2 Tage Canada

Not only, I the first time a week away from my 2 Children am, so it's a trip across the Pond. Canada must never be compared with the U.S., on the one hand it would you blame the people and on the other hand, it is through their membership of the Commonwealth and of bilingualism (French) a mixture of “good old europe und north america”.

The country is truly expansive, it comes and goes and goes past houses, Äckern, Wash berries dead on the roadside, Deer standing in the garden, Walmarts und Shopping Malls. Today we were at Walmart, a combination of a large Mercury, a miller with a pharmacy, Thalia und Kik. Actually amazing, that this system does not penetrated in Europe.

In the afternoon, people gather at Tim Hortons for a coffee and donuts. But the coffee is not for real coffee drinkers. I put on my tea and it is important, with bag inside the cup to order the tea. All’ this

Yesterday we had a classic BBQ and what is popular at the time, Marshmallow ist ein mit Salat Papayas. This reminds me more of a dessert salad and grilled meat I'm more of a relish and an excellent HP Sauce.

And of course I miss my kids, but it is not so bad by far, as I had feared, but is also due to, that my brother is the lion tamer and does a great job. And then tomorrow is the big party for the longest serving Police Sergeant Dave Paton … Report follows.
