Canada-the land of my dreams

I came to Canada because of my family is here, that's the only one reason why I decide to settle down here at the beginning. But after half a year I like it better in Canada than in China. Because the society is friendly and safe, another the most important for me is the bond between humans and dogs.

Canada has lots of great resources but not too many people. Here the air is fresh, water is clean and I can even drink directly from the tap. I don't need to worry that I'll fall sick. People here are friendly and civil. All they would say “How are you” when you meet someone, even though you two didn't know each other. When they are driving they always comply with the rules strictly and let the pedestrians go first. That’s completely the opposite of how it is in China.

Secondly, I love dogs, I'd like to treat them as my family members and my good friends. I'm glad to see that the people here also do that Dogs are treated, loved and cared for much like any family member in households. They improve the feeling of safety, both in the home and in public places. They are just as an important and vital part of our society and our everyday life. But in China, mostly dogs are unlucky. They are abandoned, inhumanly caged, beaten, tortured, killed and eaten. That’s the another main reason why I chose to live in Canada.

I know it would be hard for me to start over here. But I believe I'll love to live here more and more and enjoy my life.

Field Trip of Honest Eds

Last friday,we went to Honest Eds which has 65 yrs history and going to be closed in few days.They have lots of 25 cents items on sale,we could tell on their flyers .Interesting!So we went to check it out.
We arrived at 10:30am,not much people in the store.the store has 3 floors,the commodities were on the first floor,clothes were on the second floor,and the bedclothes and bath things were on the third floor. I started to look aroundThey did have many goods just cost 25 cents,but lots of goods were on the regular price as well as other supermakets,even though they said the price were after discounts.hand cleansing gel(60ml),facial tissues,batteries and something small were cost 25cents,otherwise almost the same price with others.It was funny,I saw cassette types,radio and walkman these old things still on sale!I thought nobody ues them anymore. But I can tell Honest Eds is a traditional store in Toronto.So even though i didn't buy anything in honest Eds,but it really worth to see and feel,especially for our new commers.
The other thing I learnt from this field trip is not to drive to downtown anymore unless I will try to avoid the rush time and traffic.Downtown commuting is a pain,finding parking and getting in and around.I found a parking spot behind the store at the beginning,and I paid for a whole day .And then after shopping I changed to another spot with meter also which i thought was the correct one.But I took a wrong area then I got a parking ticket afterwards. :(
Anyway,I enjoyed this trip and learnt a lot from it.:)

Planning activities in summer holiday

Montreal is the biggest city in Quebec.The name derives from mont Real,as it was spelled in Middle French.In one word,Montreal is a pretty nice city I have heard,and I never been there before.So i made a decision that I have to look around it and leaving at next weekend as our summer vacation.Of course ,we will bring my dog together :)

The drive is opproximately 5 hrs,we will be leaving at 3pm and might get there around in the evening in which we will  go to old Montreal and spend a quiet evening and have dinner.The following day we will spend a half the day in the morning at the river farmers market and walk around the old Montreal.Later in the afternoon we will head to the Eaton Center which is 3 times bigger then the one in Toronto and spend the afternoon to shopping.When the evening coming we can walk down Rene levesque and see the local festival.

The third day ,we will go for bicycle riding after breakfast.Riding as a aerobic exerise for us and also to my dog,because he will running after us.:)

Just wish we can have a nice vacation and good memories over there!
