CEC New Brunswick

First day of CEC, and things are off to a pretty good start.

We drove down to Pearson at 5 a.m., but got lost trying to find parking, and arrived 3 minutes after the check-in deadline. Basically, we missed our flight.

Fortunately, we caught the next flight to St. John, which meant we didn't have to stop over in Montreal as we were scheduled to do originally. This actually saved us a few hours - and we even got to eat breakfast (Egg + Bacon + Cheese + Croissant = AWESOME).

We landed in St. John at around 11 local time, and found out the bus to Fredrickton was only due at around 6. Luckily, car rental was only slightly more expensive, so we got a Pontiac 5, and ended up driving 2 hours to Fredrickton.

As I put it, "We've had a bunch of messups that actually worked out in our favour."

Lunch at The Lunar Rogue - Seafood Linguine

Lindsey and Cory had a meeting a 5 they were unaware of, and it wasn't on the schedule.

Missed the Wine and Cheese thing.


Debates were screwy. Opposition won majority because of weird resolutions. Format was different than OEC. French team was awesome.

Afterwards, went for dinner at Mexicali Rosa's and ate a BIG AS YOUR HEAD BURRITO. Then went to Dooly's where Direct Energy bought 1500 dollars worth of booze for everyone. Had 4 double Rye and cokes, then some guy bought me a beer. Afterwards, went to Nikki Z's and had two Rum and cokes for 2 bucks each, and after went to some pizza place "best pizza in town" for a huge slice of DONAIR PIZZA.

Joke debate

Pub crawl

*Update: The pub crawl erased all remaining memory of the trip. Sorry!

WUT

I learned three things from my trip to New Brunswick.

a) Debating against French people is terrifying.

b) The Ninja Turtles were actually Frenchmen in gimp masks and muscle suits.

c) NB IS A MAGIC LAND WHERE LOBSTER FALLS FROM THE SKY LIKE RAIN.
