The Book of Sifty

Ashes house 2:44AM

The first night I got here I arrived very late at night so I splashed out on a hotel room. It was well worth the $45 USD since I had been travelling for 25 hours to get here (That day started at 4am with an epic Tube journey across London.. which I'd rather forget). So I was suffering jet lag, and since we are at an altitude of 3500m I was also experiencing mild alltitude sickness.

I was looking for my luggage at the airport and met an english girl whom had been on all the same flights as me from Heathrow, Sarah. I'd recognised her from the waiting lounge at Toronto. Anyway neither of us could find the correct luggage carousel. Eventually we found our luggage and waited for the shuttle. While we were chatting about the whole resort job thing a dodgy looking looking english dude with dreads shows up. He wanted us to mind his luggage, while he stepped outside to have a smoke. He was called Ash, and also had a job at the resort, and turned out to be living at the same apartment complex.

It was pretty cool to meet people and made me feel slightly less worried about the whole being there on my own thing. To cut a long story short Sarah ended up sleeping on our couch till her room-mates showed up (Caroline and Helena - Swedish snowboard instructors). Sarah also ended up hooking up with my room mate, Shane. That lasted a few months. But shes now laid up after skiing into a tree and breaking her pelvis in three places. Nasty.

So I'm at Ashes house currently. Using his room mates computer.

""Ashes house always rocks. Hey thought I'd tell you that I put the dairy board chicks onto your page. They are loving it. I think Natasha still likes you ;-) Also you might want ot know that we have ZERO tasks on the task log. Thats due to other factors tho. Things are real fucked up here. You'll find out once you come back."" - Ashes
