Hey! Let me tell you a secret! We wrote two cards to Mimi and Eric as a surprise! We gave them to them in the Vancouver Airport. They read them and they both cried! It warmed our hearts that what we had to say was so special to them. They were amazing hosts. They didn’t do things for us, they taught us how to do things by ourselves. They were patient, kind, and giving. They were fun, friendly, and they spent all day, every day, interacting with us, not as students, but as family and friends.
Canadians are so friendly, helpful and polite. They are also very clean and very concerned about the environment. They recycle, and in some cities, like Victoria, they have banned the use of plastic bags. The air is clean, fresh, and believe it or not, even though the temperature is cooler, it is a nice cooler. When it is cooler, it doesn’t feel as cold as Hong Kong. For example, when it is 13 degrees in Hong Kong, it feels quite cold, but most mornings the temperature was around 13 degrees, but it didn’t feel as cold. Mimi says this is because Hong Kong has way more humidity, which makes us feel colder and hotter in Hong Kong. And she is right, because some days the temperature was almost 30 degrees and it didn’t feel too hot either. I liked the weather.
I hope you have enjoyed my blog. The pictures, the videos, and everything I’ve written so you could share my journey with you.

Grizzly Bears
Grizzly Bears
The view was spectacular and the air quality was pristine; however, we were quite dissatisfied with the flies. Up to this time, we had hardly seen a mosquito or a fly, but up here….WOW!!! The flies were crazy. They landed everywhere and anywhere. I was afraid to open mouth in case one flew in my mouth. You really can’t imagine how many there were. I just want to scream! Actually, they didn’t bite me, but they liked flying towards my face! So, although seeing the grizzlies was really neat, I found it hard to listen to our guide and learn very much about them, because, as you can imagine,I spent my whole time, chasing flies away from my face.
This made me very frustrated before having our breakfast buffet; however, the buffet was delicious and had a wide variety of food – even salmon, but it was smoked salmon, but I think fresh salmon is the BEST! Regardless, I loved the breakfast, because not only was the food delicious, but it was inside, away from those miserable flies!!!
I still loved having this experience, and the guide said that it was unusual to have the flies, so maybe a whole bunch of young flies just happened to hatch on our morning on the mountain, but the grizzly bears are huge and hairy, and the weather was perfect.
The end of my Canada Trip!!!!!!!
1 day to go back HK!!!

Malls Shopping
Malls Shopping
This morning we were to go cycling around Stanley Park, but the day started with rain, so instead, we went to the Pacific Mall to do some shopping. We enjoyed the mall and being in downtown Vancouver. Afterward, we decided to go to the Vancouver Aquarium rather than cycling, because although it wasn’t raining, it still looked like it might.
Another day, we also had time to shop! What an exciting day! Today we went to Hillside Mall and Uptown Mall. They are both big shopping centers that provide various products, such as clothing, snacks, cosmetics and brand name clothes. It was great to see the difference between shopping in Hong Kong and shopping in Canada. One big difference is that you can try on clothes and not buy them and no one cares.
But, I bought two pair of earrings and some cosmetics for my mom and me.

Capilano Suspension Bridge/Treetop Adventure/Cliff Walk
Capilano
Suspension Bridge
Today, we went to Capilano and did three
activities. The Capilano Suspension Bridge, the Treetop Adventure, and the Cliffwalk. We had never done any of
these before, so we were all scared. The suspension bridge shook will we were
walking, so we had to hold tightly onto the ropes.
But we never wanted to give up, because we all thought we would not be
able to do this in Hong King or maybe not again in our lives. Therefore,
although we were full of fear, we held onto the ropes and took our first steps
as it was a good challenge for us. We need to learn to let go of our
unreasonable fears, because even though it felt like we might fall into the valley, the truth is the bridge was very safe. The activity though made us very
excited. I loved doing this activity and getting over my fear.
It's totem! |
Treetop Adventure
Also, we experienced the Treetop Adventure. This was very interesting, because I had no idea that people can build walking paths between treetops before. I would not have ever imagined this had I not experience this activity. When we were walking on it, it made us feel a bit like primitive jungle people who used to live in the wild.

Hiking
Hiking
Today we went to Temperate Rainforest hike. Because we couldn't wait to climb, so we had our lunch in cars during a traffic jam (due to road construction), and I have to say it was a really huge sandwich and I couldn't finish it, although it tasted good! The ingredient included avocado,ham, tomato and lettuce.
Finally, we got to the forest and started our hiking. The sand is gold and soft, just like the furry blanket. We also played the swing which hanged at there!Here are some photos!I must say the beach has a magnificent sight to see! Look at my photos. Isn't it so pristine there, huh?

Also, we came across a field of daisies! Actually, daisies are a common European species of flowers. I love its color and shape, simple but gorgeous! Honestly, I have took many photos of it!

Also, we had the opportunity of taking a train into the actual mine, which meant going right inside the mountain.
We learned so much about how the mining was done and the life of the miners. WOW! Their lives were very hard indeed. Many men died in the mountain, mining for copper. We also learned how they kept the light in the tunnels, so that they could see what they were doing. For example, in the very early days, they only had candles before more advanced technologies gave them things like headlamps to see by. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to work with the use of a single candle inside a mountain tunnel.

In the aquarium, we saw many species of marine life, for instance, there are jellyfish, garden eels, lionfish, a dolphin, penguins, and sea otters.
