yeah, I'm still alive! Recently, much too much happened and I had almost daily reports to tell everything, but here is a brief summary of the last weeks:
end of October:
The university has been quite a bit preoccupied with the whole tests and notes that I must always count on. Not very exciting, but I can say but that I all the tests, presentations, etc. have survived until now very good.
Halloween (31.10-1.11) :
Halloween is really big in North America. And when I say big, I mean really big! Three nights, three different parties and always the same costume (notice my red socks):
Climbing: Yeah I climb pretty much here. The McMaster University even has a climbing club and we make almost weekly trips to any rock climbing areas. I was already at three different places and it was always very nice: The first trip took us to Niagara Glen bouldering for climbing without a rope that is in jump height. Super beautiful area with fantastic Boulder rocks! The second trip we went to the "Rattlesnake Point," went to the top rope climb, throw and so climb down rope so:
Yes, we had a really big force, but also a very nice group. The weather has also played perfectly and it was so warm that we were actually made to eat ice cream and went in November in Canada? The third trip took me to Mount Nemo "to" lead climbing "climbing, lead climbing and so I once had to climb right back in the ship ... Wednesday, 11.11 to Saturday 14.11 - Killarney Provincial Park
Ok, actually I would have Uni, but I am an Exchange student, so sometimes fast three days skip college and take advantage from the north to perhaps the last opportunity in this to year, a little hiking. Nic, a Canadian know I've learned about climbing, and I are in the Killarney Park went to the "backpacking" and I can tell you it was just indescribable
The weather could once again not have been better: 4 sunny days only, but rather cold, especially at night, but for all the time dry. The first night we had frost in the morning and our tent was covered in frost but thanks to my new sleeping bag from the states but I was nice and warm in the tent ... 
In the 4 days we have seen all sorts of nice places and were able to enjoy the nature but to the full. Unfortunately we have no bears, moose or seen similar things, but they were not far away, because we have enough tracks found in the mud! At lunch we also had plenty of it, but this was our backpacks but quite difficult at the beginning and I think there were well over 20kg, but for such a beautiful landscape that one is already ruined sometimes the back. Many people we have not hit, but for a 77 year old German who emigrated to Canada 40 years ago and still happily wanders through the countryside and not just on easy trails ... the roads are sometimes but very demanding and you have to use it again and again his hands to come on! I just hope I'm 77 years ever so fit! I will not continue to rave about the park, because words can not describe it, almost. But pretty good in pictures: (follow the link ...)
