Casa Loma!


When I heard that the Casa Loma is our today's trip, I was thinking that it would be boring.
Well, it result that we had to walk up a lot of stairs and it got us tired. We got up there, outside the entrance, we could see the big and beautiful buildings of Famous Casa Loma.

We are inside the entrance and it had a lot of flowers and water. It's so cool and we even take some pictures of ourself and all our group. We got inside and they gave us like a special phone that inform us what is the room by clicking the catalog number of each room. We even make some joke that the phone got bluetooth and one of our sleepy classmates believed it. (That's was so funny)

The point is that we continue looking to all the rooms of Casa loma. All the rooms were so cool and some looks like old such as the bathroom and other rooms. I know that Casa Loma has 98 rooms from my classmate's speech and that the Casa Loma was from a family and then they moved to another place; also once they used it like a hotel.


Well, we stood there around 2 hours, but for me it was an hour more. I think that of all the trips we went to, this was the less interesting trip of all.

Blue Jays!


We had classes around 3 to 4 hours. The bad thing that had happen was that one of my friend got a disease on his eyes and he will be out of our trip of today. Our Trip is to go to watch a baseball game; at first I though that it will be bored, because I don't really like baseball too much and I prefer a soccer game.

It was great when we arrived to the downtown, because it was the first time that I see the CN Tower and also the first time that I go to a stadium. It is pretty cool that my first time to watch a game will be in the Rogers Centre. They were a lot of people going to watch the game. This is my first time to be witness of a game; I can wait for the Blue Jays to win. I was cheering for the Blue Jays because it is the Toronto team.

The game have started like 10 minutes after we arrive. When we arrive, the Blue Jays was losing. Later the game was very bore, because almost all the innings the both team were doing strike and out with no run. Later the Blue Jays was losing 5-3, we all think that The Blue Jays will gonna lose. Suddenly they have bases on the third and the second, a player bat and has scarified an out but get the home. It was one out for the Blue Jays, then a next player bat so hard that went to the other side of the yard, like this they got the two runs and that is 6-5. That was the last innings, so the Blue Jays won. We all were very happy and satisfied of the game.
We end this game at night and we went to our destination happily.

Toronto Zoo

We woke up like on 10 o' clock today. Our trip is
the zoo and we were so excited at first. When we got there, there was very hot and I brought my jacket since I didn't know it. We found some lockers there that we have to pay an dollar to use it. We save all what is unnecesary in there.
Then we start walking to see the animals. First we saw a lot of butterflies, monkeys, snake, ect.
The point is that we took a lot of pictures to every animals we see. There was many variety kinds of animals.

It was very hot plus we have to walk up all through those hills. There was many section like Africa, Asia, America that got their own animals. We even took a picture of a polar bear, can you believe it? Hmm I just kidding, there don't have any bear nor polar bear. The thing is that we have took pictures from the posters.

The day was so hot that we just bought a ice cream, because almost all the food and drinks were very expensive.

We finished taking pictures and watching animals, so we went back to our resident.

Then we spent the rest of our time on soccer.

Eaton's Centre


First we went to the Chinatown. We were shopping in each stores. Well, It's better to say that the girls were the one that were shopping. They were so crazy of buying stuff that make us the boys to wait for a long time. We are not very interested at all, so we didn't buy anything in Chinatown. By the way, we saw an old Chinese man that is a homeless man, so we did gave him our lunch from the Cafeteria. Our first impression when we saw the old man was sadness.
Although, I haven't see a Chinese that is a homeless people.

Then we went to the festivals. In there we have a lot of malls, so we got like 2 hours to buy things. The only thing that was on our minds were electronic stuff. When I say our, I mean the boys. We went to the mall and we can see that the prices were too higher comparing with our country. So we went walking through all the mall and see nothing of electronic stuff, we got to ask for someone of the mall of somewhere whose sell electronic.

Later on we found EB Games down stair; we were asking for quotation, because we four gonna buy 4 PSP and both places told us the same excuse, that they can not low the prices if not they will be fired the next day. So we don't have any choice rather to buy them, since here the only things that got a cheaper prices is the electronic stuffs; we spent a lot of money there.
Also we find out a problem, we were going to pay with our debit card, but they ask us for identification. Since we still are not adults yet, so we show them our international student card and they didn't accept it. We have to pay with Canadian bills and we spent it all what we have changed with United State dollars.
That was all what we did this day.

My First Impression of Canada


When I saw the view of the city Canada in my seat of the airplane, it surprises me. The plenty light that are all over the city and a lot of cars moving to their way; also the amount of big building and houses everywhere, but could not see any people since I am up there watching. The weather is so cool and confortable.
When I arrive to the college's residence, I can see that the people of there is very nice and kind; and I saw people with different culture that are from other countries. We started the trip visiting places by bus and train; we have so much fun so far. We went to drive canoas and this is my first time of it.
So this is my journey so far and I hope we will have more fun further more and to visit more beautiful places.
