Everybody loves a come-back

Canada Day (click to enlarge)
I totally forgot about my blog. I meant to post something in here at least every week. And now look how long I haven't published anything.

Well, so what happened the last weeks? To be quite honest, I don't remember exactly. There were big celebrations for Canada Day, which is the 1st of July. It meant fireworks, mini-flags, air-filled jumping castles, mechanical rodeo bulls and loads of sunshine - tons of fun.
Also, I had a few BBQs already. The weather here is very inviting. And so far only once I got stung (or is it bitten?) by a mosquito. That was itchy.

Apart from that, I learned that there is a huge gap between a badminton club and just playing badminton in a club. Which still doesn't make much sense. The difference between those two is that one costs about 14000$ entry fee, another member has to vouch for you, the yearly fees are around 1000$ and monthly playing fees of 100$ are added on as well. I actually didn't get as far as understanding what all that money is for... The other, however, costs between 2.50$ for a day and 10$ per h of playing. And they are good players and good courts.
Since I don't need golden rackets, a servant and a giant hole in my wallet, I chose the later option.
It was loads of fun and actually very competitive. So I'm already looking forward to playing again.
