2nd Week

This week was a week of learning, up to right now, although we never do stop learning. I will cut out all the boring details of my days of staying in where I just occupied my self with my laptop,(so glad I brought it). I have learned that I NEED to be busy, and I cannot sit still for to long on a literal level. I feel as if I am not being productive and I am wasting the day. This is my thought process when I'm suppose to be relaxing on my "vacation". But I do not know what it is to relax, if I am sitting down or watching TV my mind is still going until I exhaust my brain and I fall asleep. Lesson one, learn how to relax.

Wednesday I went out with my uncle to run some errands and also learn how to get around town. We also briefly strolled through Westfield shopping center which was a treat for me to see all the stores and just the whole architecture of the shopping center. I went into footlocker and I saw a pair of air max that I wanted so my sites were set for the following day when my grandma would take me shopping. We went on to Stratford shopping center which is much smaller and has a flea market feel to it.We later went to visit one of his friends and we had some laughs about the differences between Canada and the UK. Lesson two how to get around and not get lost, and to remember I am not missing the buses because they drive on the left hand side of the road.

Thursday I got up early and ate a big breakfast that grandma cooks when ever she is home in the mornings (lucky me), and then we got ready to head out to Westfield mall to do some shopping. Forever 21 is kind of my favorite store and this one had two very large levels full of all sort of clothes, most of the styles were different from the ones available in Hamilton or Toronto. I was overwhelmed and then we went to this store called Primark, which now I realize is like a Walmart with out the grocery store but little different its a cross between a Marshalls/ Winners and a Walmart.

Friday I went back to Westfield because I had to exchange somethings, but this time I went by my self found my way and everything ! I did some exploring on my own, I was gone about 2-4 hours and I still didn't see everything in Westfield. I will put the pictures up and a silly little video one of them I said I would edit but I think I will leave it the way it is, it is not that long.

Sunday I went to church with Jameelia, those of you who don't know of her she is my friend Alicha's cousin who visited Canada a few times. We went back to her house after words and had dinner with two of her friends and her mom, it was nice having that fellowship it has been a while. I think I will be returning to that little church, I made two good friends today it was a wonderful day.

Disclaimer: These are pictures of around Westfield shopping center and I just have to say the two different close ups on the stairs are the total of all the stairs you have to climb to get to the main entrance of the mall ... unless you come in from the train station. enjoy leave comments or advice on places to go next !
