Day 6: Saturday!

Today has been exciting.
Me and Cecily went to help one of her friends move house.  I was quite impressed by how little stuff there was to move compared to the vast amounts of junk I own, and I got to meet three more lovely people and see what some more flats and different areas in Edmonton look like.
I had been feeling quite anxious about "new people" and missing all my friends, but thought I really need to make the effort.
I joined Cecily, Sascha and another friend very briefly downtown before getting picked up by some of my new couchsurfing friends for a BBQ.  This sounded strange to me, as today it finally cooled down and was raining, but basically, they were in a flat with a BBQ on their balcony for cooking their food.  It turned out to be a whole group of Brazilians but they all changed to speaking English instead of Portuguese for me, and they shared their delicious food.  They were very generous and friendly.  I feel really happy to be in Edmonton with such lovely welcoming people as I've met today.
I think I have also managed to arrange a hectic day for myself tomorrow and I have started getting used to my smart phone.  I even have a few phone numbers saved in it now!
