THE CN TOWER


It was a sunny Friday. We went to the Cn Tower. I was waiting for this moment since I came to Canada. We went a lot of time to downtown to visit other places and each time we passed walking we saw the Cn Tower but we never go up stair. Well, that Friday was the chance to go up stair.

We went to the top part of the CN Tower in an elevator that runs at 22 km/h. When we reached up we saw the view of the Toronto City. It was wonderful the view. I began to record videos to the entire city. I took some picture with my friends. After, we went to the next floor where there was a glass floor where you are able to see downward stepping the glass floor. Some of my friends were afraid to step the glass floor because they think they were going to fall down. We took some picture sleeping in the glass floor. Later on, we went to the free air section. There the wind blow very fast and it was very cool. Also we took some picture.

The CN Tower was a very unique and beautiful experience. I will never forget this experience. It was my first time I went in a tower of such altitude.

Shoping Day


It was Saturday and we were going to shop to downtown Toronto. We went in the TTC to reach the place. First, we went the China Town. There we saw many things about Canada such as t-shirt, keychain, cap, posters, and etc. Later on, we went to the bank to change our money. We changed American dollars to Canadian dollars. When everyone finished changing their money, we went to the Eaton Centre Mall. This Mall is really big and beautiful. There you can find anything you want. Here I buy a video game. I buy it in the EB Games store. After we all finished buying, we got to meet in the main entrance. Everyone was there except two friends who were still buying. We needed to wait for them for about 45 minutes.

Although there were expensive things in Canada, I liked to shop here. It´s a good experience because it was my first time I buy in English. Now I´m not nervous about shopping in English because is the same thing as if you are buying in Spanish.

The Wonderful Toronto Zoo


It was a sunny sunday and our trip was to the Toronto Zoo. I was really waiting for this moment to compare the zoo of Panama and the Zoo of Toronto. I can honestly say that the Toronto Zoo is woderful. This zoo is well located, it is near a lake. We can see all type of animals from all over the world. This zoo has around 5,000 animals and 460 species.

We saw many animals from different species. The most I liked was the kangaroo. It is a very beatiful animal. We can only see it in Australia. It is a previlious to see a animal like that with your own eye. We saw all type of animal. We saw amphibians, fish, mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles.
This zoo is the best one on Canada. I really enjoyed to visit this zoo because I learned a lot about animals. I recommend everyone to come and visit the Toronto Zoo because it is very interesting and you will learn a lot about different animals.

Hockey Hall Of Fame


When I heared about the Hockey Hall of Fame, I was thinking about a hockey game. Then my friend told me that it is not a hockey game, it is a hockey exihibition. When we went there the first thing we saw before entering was the different players mask and hockey balls. Then we entered and the guy who check the tickets was giving us a glove to touch the cup. I put the gloves on my hand. Then I began to record a video of everything I saw in the hall. We all entered in a room were there was all the trophy winned by the Canadian Hockey team.

One hour later we went to a hockey mini game were you needed to shoot with the stick the ball and put it in the net. It was very interesting and I liked. I learned to shoot with a hockey stick and it is good for me. Really I liked that place and learned a lot of the hockey game.

My Wonderland Expirience


Wonderland was a beatiful and unforgettable expirience. When I entered I was very happy and exited to ride each game. First of all we were making rows to enter but it really was long. When we entered we went to the lockers to leave all our stuff. Later on, we began to walk to see different games and we found a very extreme and dangerous game. I was a little bit afraid because it was the first time I rided this type of extreme game. I went to many different games with my friends and it was very cool. Really I liked because Wonderland is one of the best place to have fun in the world.

It was like 2:00 pm and we were hungry, but Maggie told us that the dinner was at 4:00 pm. We coulnd't wait until 4:00 pm so we make the decision to eat in a restaurant although it were expensive. Then we went to Mr. Subway restaurant and eated. After eating, we went to a interesting game. It is about a boat that goes through the water and shoots water to the people who are in the boat. We came all wet when the game finished. We really enjoyed.

It was 4:00 pm and it was time to dinner but we were not hungry because one hour ago we eated and we were full. Although we were full, we went to the restaurant were the group of Panama and Mexico were going to eat. I eated but not to much. It was time go home and the buses were waiting out there. Finally, we went back to the residence and rest in peace.

This is an unforgettable expirience and I really enjoyed. I will like to come one day again and relive this expireince.
