A Multicultural Friday

Last Friday was the official introduction session for incoming exchange students at Erasmus.  I was very excited to meet new people and find out a bit of what the semester will be like.  I was not disappointed when it came to meeting people from different countries!  We all got a chance to introduce ourselves briefly (there were about fifty of us) and there were people from all around the globe!  Singapore, South Korea, China, Finland, Netherlands, USA, Australia, Turkey, Scotland (coolest accent I've ever heard!), UK, Germany, Italy, and more countries, but I can't remember exactly which ones.  After hearing the university rules, formalities, etc. we all got to go ice skating!  It was really neat getting to know people from all over the place.  I even met a German who had lived in Tofino for a year.
