Canada = Fun

Hello everybodies! Micha here again. I have been travelling with the very beautiful girls to go to Montana in the America. But Canada is very big so it take long times. Last night we stop at bar in place called the Calgary, Alberta. Apparently place is famous for being the Olympic Games of Winter in the 1988. One of girls I travel with, Cherise, tell me many things about it, and I especially like story of Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards who do the ski jumps. Great name! But he didn’t win, so maybe he not fly like the eagle then?

Before we go in bar, girls tell me it is special bar where women come in for free. I say but Micha is not a woman and they laugh and say they will help me get in for free. So they give me a wig and I borrow a dress to make look like I am not man. All the girls think very funny but Micha not sure. I think this better be very nice bar.

At the door the guardian does not notice that Micha is the boy and we all go in for free. It works!

The music in bar is very loud and fun, so we all dance and are happy, but suddenly wig fall off Micha’s head! Oh no! Before I can put wig back on the head, guardian comes and holds me in grip by arm and all music stop in bar. It very embarrassing and I don’t know what to be doing. Guardian wants to throw me out of bar and pull me towards the doors. I look around and hoping to find Cherise because I don’t want to be leaving girls and bar. How to get to Montana then?

But Cherise find me and try to talk to guardian. When she explain I am boy from Uzbekistan who play the TicTac guardian let go and smile. He say he seen me on the youtube and like very much my sound. Before I know it I am on stage, still in the dress, playing music on TicTac boxes for whole bar. And everybody join and have fun! When finish playing many the girls come up to Micha and ask for the autograph and to take the pictures and give the hugs.

When we leave bar very late in evening, Micha very tired but also very happy from all the kisses he get from girls all night. Maybe next time there is the Olympic Games in the Calgary I go in sport too. I could be Micha ‘the Albatross’ Albacow and maybe fly better than the Eagle did? And also then I can play more music with nice peoples of Calgary. Today I sleep for long time in car after  very great night with the party. Micha rest!

Micha is still in Canada

Wow! Micha adventure in Canada has been so much fun! I had not no time to write my blog.

Me and crazy hippie Carson drive around much of country looking for this bigfoot. I get to see many beautiful place in the Canada, and meet many very nice peoples. Micha in love with the Canada. It is so big! Along way me and Carson play much music to pay for the petrol and the foods. I think he only plays the tambourine but it is turning out that he has the guitar too, but it missing three strings so it sound a bit strange.

We play a lot of the poker, and I didn’t need to cheat because I get very good at game. So Carson do all the dishes every night while I write the letters to family Uzbekistan. Every morning we drive to new and strange place because Carson say he smell the bigfoot, and every night he say we are getting closer, or that it is the nice smell of TicTac that is making his nose work differently. I think this is excuse. I have little TicTac left because he eat them all! I get Micha family to send me more.

Yesterday we get to this Niagara Falls. Wow! Micha never seen so much water fall down before. I would not like to go on canoe in that waterfall! Soon maybe there is no water left?

Carson get really strange when we look at waterfall, and suddenly he get undressed and run towards water shouting he is finding the bigfoot. Before I can stop him, he disappears in water! I wait for a while and then I see ambulance come and people pick him out of water. He looks not hurt and really happy and smiling crazy smile and shouting that he find the bigfoot. Then ambulance drive off and naked Carson is gone. Confused I go back to van to pick up my things. I am thinking a bit about Carson, and I am very happy he take me on journey and show me the Canada and survive waterfall and find the bigfoot finally! I will miss him. In car park I meet a group of very pretty girls who are looking at Carson van. They tell me they are on trip to America to go to wedding of friend in Montana. I tell about Carson and long trip from Uzbekistan and they ask do I want to follow with them? They seem very nice and are also pretty so of course Micha say yes! So now I am in bus with many the beautiful girls for new adventure in the Montana of America. Family Uzbekistan will not believe me when I write the letters.

Canada, Big Foot and Hippie

What to say? It has been a very strange week for me being in the Canada. After Kjartan go back to Norway in boat I spend some days with Johnny and his family, which was nice. He tells me many story about the Canada and give me nice idea for the places to visit. On Sunday morning a man rings doorbell to Johnny family house. He has got the long hair and the big beards and is smiling the whole time. He say he has the flat wheel and ask if the Johnny family help fix his van.

When Johnny help out, the man explain his name is Carson and that he drive around all the days in his old van trying to meet the creature Sasquatch. Johnny say no thing as Sasquatch exists and Carson get a bit sulky, saying they do and that he see it many times. I ask Johnny wife about the Sasquatch and she explain it is some kind of the big foot, that lives in the Canada, but she say that maybe it does not exist. She also explain that maybe Carson is the hippie and a little bit crazy! Why I always meet crazy people with the monsters?

Once flat wheel is fixed I speak to Carson and ask if I can go with him looking for the Sasquatch? He looking at me like suspicious until I tell him about playing the Tictac boxes for music. This he think is great! Carson play a bit of the tambourine, and say he used to play in the bands. After I say the good-bye to Johnny family we start to drive off. The van is old and make the loud sounds and go a bit slow. Carson have bed in van and live there when not driving. I ask Carson where we go to find this the big foot. He look at me in mystery, tap his nose with finger, and say he can smell it where we go. I asked then maybe if he should open the window so that he can better smell where to go, but he get cross and tell me to not ask the questions like that.

After many days, just driving around in beautiful Canada, we have to get the petrol for van but Carson has no money either. He ask maybe we can pay in Tictac? I have better idea. We start to play music in front of petrol station and ask for the money from people. Carson show me tambourine, which is broken but make funny sound (he must have been in strange bands). Canadian peoples are very friendly and give lots of money. Even petrol station woman give $5! Soon we have the petrol and are off again.

After few hours we stop for eating the lunch. Carson cook the beans in back of van and make everything smelly! After eating he ask if Micha play the game poker. I say no but ask, can he teach me? He show me and I think it very simple game. But Micha has no money! Carson say it doesn’t matter because we can use the Tictac for the chips. Great idea!

We play some practice games then Carson say we play for who does washing up of lunch. I say OK but I am not sure. Washing up of beans very messy. Carson very messy! Then I get idea – I keep extra Tictac in pocket, and when Carson not look, I take out, so have many the chips for play. After win, Carson get sulky but does washing up while I write the letter for Micha family. That evening we drive on, towards hunting the Sasquatch. Carson is very excited and say he can smell the big foot strongly now, but all Micha can smell is beans for the lunch. For rest if week we drive around, following Carson nose, but no Sasquatch anywhere. I am beginning to think maybe Carson IS the crazy..

Micha fight the bear

Micha very excited! This morning we arrive in harbour called Cap-Chat in big area called the Quebec in Canada. Finally in the Canada after long sailing. Micha happy to be back on the land. It take two hours before I stop moving around like I am on the seas. I walk around with Kjartan to find the telephone box to make call to the cousin of Kjartan. Everybody here speak language I never hear and I ask Kjartan, is it the Canadian? He say in Quebec almost everybody speak the French, but rest of Canada most peoples speak the English. For little while I think maybe Kjartan trick me and sail to France and not Canada! In Uzbekistan we speak many the languages, so maybe Canada and Uzbekistan not so different place?

Kjartan cousin pick us up in big truck and we drive to his house out in country. His name is Jean-Luc and he is friendly and speaking a little English.

When we get to house Jean-Luc say we go catch the big elk in forest, for the dinner. I am very hungry after eating only strange food from the tins on boat, and I am not sure how we catch this elk to eat. Perhaps we need a net? Is the elk like the kraken? Then Kjartan and Micha surely get very scared again!

Jean-Luc take out guns and say we go hunting. I never go hunting before, so I pack boxes of the Tictac and a warm sweaters. We walk around in big Canadian forest for many hours then suddenly Jean-Luc say we all be quiet because he has seen the elk. He tell us to spread out and wait. I go and hide behind a big rock and try to hold my breath to be not making a sound. After a few minutes I see two the big animals walk towards me. It must be the elk! But Jean-Luc has said to be quiet and I don’t want to get shot so I am very still. The elks come all the way up to me and stands there looking at Micha with big eyes. I think maybe they want a Tictac to eat so to make friends with the elk. I put out hand with some Tictacs and elk picks up with big slobbering tongue. It seem to like the Tictac so I give them more and we hang out for the little while. Then out of corner of eyes I see Jean-Luc who is waving hand to say move away! He is pointing gun straight at me and elks! But elks see him too and run really fast into woods before he can shoot. I think maybe Jean-Luc get angry (and he is with the gun!) but he just laugh and say it is OK, there is the other food in house.

We start to walk home and it is nice because I am very cold, but near to Jean-Luc house we see a bear. It look angry and mean and come straight for Micha with mouth open. Everyone shouting and scared! The bear is stretching the arms to try and catch me but I duck and it miss. I turn around to the escape when I drop the boxes Tictac on forest ground from pockets. They make the big rattling noise like when I play drums with boxes and the bear stop and look confusing and then go away with tail between the legs! I am still a bit scared and Kjartan look like he been crying again!

Jean-Luc pick up the boxes Tictac and say maybe he bring one with him next time he go hunting to stop the bear. He ask which flavour is best for stopping bear. I say I think maybe the cherry taste because the box is red and my uncle Sherzodbek looking a bit like bear and scared of colour red.

After we eat the dinner with Jean-Luc and his family he bring out accordion and ask me to show him how I play the music with the boxes Tictac. I only know one Canadian music that is the Avril Lavigne but Jean-Luc say he don’t know how to play it. I ask him if maybe we go visit Avril Lavigne and she teach him the music but he say that is difficult. Hmm maybe I will meet her some other day. Micha like Avril Lavigne.

Tonight I fall asleep easy, because it is tired going for the hunting and being chased by the bear. Tomorrow Kjartan go home to Norway but Jean-Luc say I can stay for some days to explore the Canada.

Big monster in the seas

Hello all you readers of my blog! Thank you for you patience but I been on sea for very long time, sailing with fisherman the Kjartan from Norway on way to the Canada for more adventure and meeting the cousin of Kjartan. Being on sea for long times gets a bit boring. But two days ago we see the big monster in the seas! In morning with no wind and wave we see dark shadow under the waters. It is very big and a bit scary. Kjartan get very nervous, he say it might be the kraken. I ask him what kraken is and he says it is big creature from sea that eat the boats. He run down in cabin and hide and shouting very loud in Norwegian language. Micha don’t like. I try to hide for a bit then have to take the look because I am curious persons. Many time I get into trouble for being the curious persons! When I look over side I see big shadow in water still, but suddenly it moves up! I standing frozen of the fear on boat and then I see it is only the big fish, very big like house of uncle Sherzodbek in Uzbekistan. Micha never see a fish that big before. It is swimming next to boat and looking at me with a big eyes, doing fish things. It almost looking friendly. I think maybe the big is fish is not monster but friendly like a dog? Suddenly it spit water out from hole in back, many meters into the heaven! In shock I fall over in boat and hit head on steering wheel. When I look up big fish is disappeared into oceans. I tell Kjartan it OK for him to come out again and after little while he unlock cabin and look out. He look very very scared, and maybe he has been crying. I tell him it only big fish that spit the waters and he start to laugh. He say it is whale, not big fish, and that everything is now OK. Kjartan still pale and I don’t want to see this kraken of which he speaks. The rest of day we don’t see more monsters and Kjartan say we are close to the Canada now. Make me happy because toilet in boat not very nice. I have to eat the TicTac to make smell go away.

I am happy be in Canada,  I can call mum and father and sisters and see more of the worlds! Canada here come Micha!

Fishing for Canada

Yesterday evening I finally find luggage I lose in bus. I think it must be because of birthday, but  I am very happy for this, because luggage has most of TicTac instruments and the clean underwear! Micha mum not happy if knew Micha lose clean socks. But I am also sad because I have the airplane ticket and passport in luggage and miss plane to Canada two days ago. How to go to Canada now?

I call home but family are all away for a while and no one can help me. But I am Micha and I will make things working out!

After the breakfast at hostel I go to the Frognerparken to test if the instruments TicTac are still working after being lost for so many time. Lots of people are in park, making relaxing and playing the footballs. Soon a big crowd is standing around and helping playing music, and singing and clapping. Micha popular in Norway!

After show I meet fisherman who say he always eat the TicTac on boat in sea, and sometime play the beat with boxes when boring. I never go on big sea, only swim in Aral lake in Uzbekistan. He ask if I want to go on boat and sail for a few days and I say yes because I not in Canada now. I get luggage and we go to harbour together. His name is Kjartan and he catch the fish in North Sea for many years. He has nice boat, called the Fridgerd, after his mum. She must be very proud to be a boat!

I am a bit scared of the water but Kjartan give me yellow jacket called the floating vest to make me safe. In main room in boat there is the maps for sailing. Kjartan ask me where I would like to go and then I asking Canada is it far? Kjartan look at me like I am the madness and I have to explain about the missing of plane and travel adventure. He keep saying it is too far, but in end I promise to give him all my spare TicTacs boxes and have mum send him pretty hat the tubeteika from Uzbekistan, and he agree to go.

He say he need fish anyway and has the cousin in Labrador. So now Micha from Uzbekistan is in big sea on the little boat with fish and Kjartan on way to the Canada!
