Presentation

Dear Mum and Dad,

Thank you so much for allowing me to go on this journey! It has been a wonderful trip so far, and I am loving Canada!

We started in Vancouver, where we went shopping for gifts and then went hiking. Unfortunately, it rained the first day we were there, but then it became clear after that. Then we took a train to Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies, and then a coach through the Rockies to Jasper. The scenery was spectacular--massive forests and mountains, beautiful blue lakes, and all kinds of animals.

We even saw a grizzly bear! From there, we took a long-distance train to Toronto. We were amazed by how empty and wide the Canadian Prairie was. It just stretched on and on, as far as the eye could see.

  But then after we passed Winnipeg we were in a land of lakes and hills. It was all so beautiful. Toronto was amazing. We went to the CN Tower and were surprised because we could see clouds rising from the Niagara Falls across the lake. Then we had dinner in Chinatown with Lin Fei (she says "Hi!"). From there we travelled to Montreal where we went shopping in the old town. Then we stopped at a restaurant where we met a cool guy named Jean-Philippe.

He's a photographer. He told us all about Montreal and its culture. Did you know that nearly everyone there speaks French? Luckily, many of them speak English as well. Finally, we caught the train to Halifax.

  It has been a great trip, filling us with so many happy memories. We plan on spending about a week here getting rested up from our journey, and then we'll fly home.

                                         Love,

Daiyu
