How was your weekend?

The weekend is already behind us, so it’s time to take a look at what happened this weekend. 

It was my first week in Canada and therefore me and my fellow students Barbara and Franzi missed the Grouse Grind Hike last weekend. That’s why we decided to do that on Saturday. Jasmin and Megan have already told us that the hike would be difficult, but to be honest, we did not believe them. Well, we’ve been taught a better lesson. The trail was much harder than we expected. But we finished the hike in 1 hour and 15 minutes, which is not too bad I think.

The next day was more relaxing. On Sunday we went to the Queen Elizabeth Park for some Disc Golf. There is a prepared trail for the game and the main goal is to throw the discs in the baskets. We built teams and then the game started. It was a lot of fun, even when the discs not always flew in the right direction. And sometimes we needed a lot of tries to get them into the baskets. But we had a good time though.

After we finished the game we decided to join the Italian Day 2019, which took place on Commercial Drive. There were a lot of food vendors with every kind of specialities you can imagine. Some of us got Italian food like pasta and pizza, but there were also a lot of merchants who sold Chinese, Greek or even Thai food. It was so tasty! Furthermore the Festival had live bands and other entertaining programs. And as you can see on the picture, there were thousands of people. Overall, it was a cool way to explore a festival like this in Canada. 
Thanks to everyone who came and joined us this weekend! See you at the Beaver on Wednesday for PuB NiGHT!

About INTERNeX: Destination Italy

Do you want to take part in Au Pair program and you don’t know which city to choose? Italy is one of our destinations for this great program and you won’t regret going there!

Riding a gondola in Venice, standing inside the Colosseum, leaning beside the tower of Pisa or walking through the Sistine Chapel. This cultural and historically rich place is one of the only nations where you can experience so many world wonders all in one country.

Italy is one of those countries that has something for everyone, boasting some of the most historical landmarks in the world, where cooking and cuisine are a passion, fine art is a way of life and a love for football. Italians are also known for their gregarious nature, so if it is socializing and partying that you are into, Italy is also the perfect the destination for you.

This boot-shaped peninsula offers a diverse climate. The inland northern areas have a humid sub-tropical climate, while the southern and coastal regions fit with a more Mediterranean climate, making it very pleasant year-round.

Working in Italy will give you the opportunity to fully immerse yourself within Italian culture, where you will get to experience the passion, social nature and love of Italian life.

Cheers,

Your PR Team

INTERNeX Canada: Feel like a real DJ!

It´s great when you are in a nice club and you hear your favorite song! In that moment nothing is important you just focus in the song and you feel like the world is yours! So imagine if the party is not just a party is THE PARTY, the season´s event, our tenth anniversary!

And what about to listen a typical song of your country in Canada? Everywhere I´ve been I´ve listened Macarena! Definitely is not my favorite song but it always makes me smile and remind me home, despite I don´t usually listen Macarena in Spain!

So now we give you the opportunity of feeling like a real David Guetta! And singing in German/Dutch/French/Italian/Arabic/Chinese/ or whatever your native language are while everybody will ask themselves what´s that?

Sounds like fun!

Just sent us your favorite song ever to pr@interexcanada.com and it will play for you in the Summer Party!

Looking foward to listen your selection!

Cheers

Irene
