First official night spent in hotel was at Canad Inn Fort Garry. I arrived to Canad Inn Fort Garry around 11 am. The guy behind the receptionist was really golden, because he got me in a room before the check in time, which was 3 pm. I think I was able to go to my room about 1 pm. It was just soooooo nice to be able to go to shower after that long period of flying and sleeping at the airports. I tried to to sleep, but since the shower woke me up a bit I decided to update my blog and UAS of how things were going. I also received an email from organizer that there should have been an email saying that you need get your own ride from the airport to hotel. Of course they apologized and stuff.
After few hours of typing on my computer, my roommate arrived. She is a Canadian from west coast. We did little bit talking and decided that we get along quite well. Then it was time to go to first dinner and to meet other students. The dinner went fine, but we heard some concerning news. Original plan that we are going to stay there only one night. Now they warned us that we might need to stay in this hotel a second night as well, because there was a snow storm going around Manitoba that might close some roads.
I'll point out that I did inform the one student that arrived from Finland about all the things he needed to know, like to take the taxi from the airport.
We went to bed quite early, because we had planned to leave to the resort quite early. I have to say I did sleep quite well, partly because I was so freakishly tired that I could sleep anywhere. I did woke up couple of times, but that was mostly because my phone beeped. Learned my lesson and since then my phone has been on silence. In the morning we went to breakfast, not knowing what we were going to do in few hours. Surprisingly the organizers didn't know either what was going to happen. This was because there was indeed a road closed and we were just waiting for more information to come in, wheather the road will be opened or not.
it turns out that the road was quickly opened but had to be reclosed because there was an accident with big trucks. So we would stay another night in Canad Inn Fort Garry.
