How to take care of your brother in Canada - By Guillermo Meire
In my first year in keeners, I was the youngest. Now, two years later, I'm back, but this time with my little brother, and it's not the same.
At the airport, for example, I was the one who had to guide my brother, when it was usually someone else who guided me and explained to me what I had to do. I had to translate everything, help him, wait for him, ...
In addition to all that, my brother, Nicolas, is intolerant to gluten. That means he can not take anything that carries wheat. That makes things difficult for me, because I have to make sure that everything it takes is gluten-free, although that already does it pretty well. Luckily, in Canada gluten-free food is better than in Spain and my brother has enough for himself, but he does not know how to cook very well, so sometimes I have to cook his breakfast.
Leaving the subject of food, another thing in which I have to help Nicolas is in the river. Sometimes, when we are going to do something in the river and the teachers are explaining to us, what is to be done and how, he does not understand it and I have to expel him. Other times I have to mark the line to him or things like that.
All this is usually quite boring, but it can be quite fun, I am also very happy that my brother is with me here in Canada, because I think he is having a great time and is learning a lot, both in kayak and in English or As in anything else, I am also glad that Nicolas is here, because I have a great time with him.
