I have been thought for a long time to visit him during the past year. we only see each other one day during the past two years. but he refused. so this plan was cancelled. long time holiday give me time to think about it.

Two days before, I just wandered on the internet in the morning. suddendly, I found someone offer car pool from my city to his city that day. the price is just one third of the regular one. Why not? I asked myself. Living in canada is really free to do anything that you want. Nobody dicuss and judge you. I called that person and made a deal. what I did is waitting for he is coming to pick me up.
about 2 o'clock , a couple showed up. we talked all the way, which tooks about 4 hours. they have been canada about one year and a half. the wife went to a USA university for master degree. therefore, the husband moved to that small city which is near USA. the wife back and froce once a month. this separated life is not easy one. but they believed good future is not far away. they just finished visting friends who living in toronto.they were very surprised when they knew that I will visit one friend without notice.
I got that hourse around 7 o'clock. like what it suppose to be !. he was not home. according to his roommate said, he was skiing in somewhere.
what supprised me is I did feel relax rather then disappointed. the only problem was I can not find the way to grayhound bus station. his roommates were so kind that they dicided to give me a ride. since the last bus is 1:40 A.M. and there are 6 hours left. what I can do is find somewhere and have something to eat.
I walked alone the street and found the Pizza store which opened untill 3 am. this is really what i want . I went in and order some food and sat down in a corner. from where, I cound see every one who entered store and the scene of street. if it was daytime rather then night, I guess i will walk alone that famous river. night is no safety for a single lady walk outside. that 6 hours is really good time for me figure out the relationship between us. I was very gald that he has good mood to ski. which means that his situation is not too bad. I did not need worry about him. i ate too much pizza that day, try the one I never ate before.
I got home at 9 oclck in the moring and went to bed at 9: 30.

it is really good short time travel that I want.
