My second weekend in Vancouver was all about moving into the school and getting used to campus life and the new surroundings. Saturday was moving day, which required a trip to Walmart. Below, you can see what my room and the view look like.

The next couple of days went by so fast. I went hiking around the University with two exchange students from Denmark, we went into Downtown Vancouver and shopped, we all had our first classes, saw the soccer-team play, eat in the dining hall – it was an amazing first week with many new impressions, which were both fantastic and overwhelming.

The weekend came, and here I went whale-watching. I saw both killer whales, humpback whales, seals, and sea lions. I also took a hiking with the other exchange students from Copenhagen. We went to the Garibaldi Lake, which was very beautiful!
