Arctic Team 09 !!

Hello Fellow MCR fans....

Right then, for those of you that dont know, i'm taking part in an exchange which involves thirteen students going to a place called Goja Haven in Arctic Canada!
I posted a blog a few days ago, the day before we left, expressing my excitedness and because I got some lovely comments wishing me luck, I thought I'd post another when I arrive!

We arrived a couple of hours ago and the temperature was about minus 30 (!) it's dark now so its probably colder... Eeek !! It's a really interesting school out here, there was an assembly held when we arrived and they gave a demonstration of 'drum dancing' which is just a very cultural activity and the kids just stood up when ever and walked around! It was just what they'd grown up with and new nothing different, but if WE did that back home we'd be killed! Everyone is really really nice and they gave us a great welcoming.
You may hear from me again some time in my stay here, but internet is dodgy so i'm not promising!
