Me at Victoria BC


One week has passed and I still enjoy it being here. Special because the people are so friendly and more relaxed then elsewhere. One day I couldn't find the right busstop for me. So I went to another busstop, where was a bus with closed doors and 2 drivers inside. I knocked at the door and immediately the door openen and the one driver came out and he leaned forward to listen to my question. He helped me out in a friendly way.
This morning I was going again for coffee in the supermarket; and another man arrived at the same time at the coffeeplace. "Go ahead, mylady", he said. "'ts up to you". This coffee is so nice to drink. I go every morning for a coffee. This day I also bought a loaf of bread. The cashier asked me; if I still had to pay the coffee and I answered "yes". I didn't know I had to pay for the coffee, while at A.H. in Holland we get it for free. So several days I just took the coffee and was drinking at around the coffeeautomats, which took about 10 minutes, while the coffee was so hot.
Now I know , I can pay the coffee also behind the automats at another cassa.
I had to buy 2 "bus-cards" for travelling with Kim tomorrow. I asked for 2 bus-tickets. "We sell them in an amount of 10", the man said. "I don't think so" I said. Then explained to him, that I wanted 2 tickets for 7 dollar each. "Oh, you mean 2 day-passes". Me laughing, "Yes", that's what I mean".
