This was the fi rst time for me to travel to such a distant country. I met so
many people and I also learnt many different things about Canada.
I remember the fi rst day we stayed with our host family. We went hiking
after having our breakfast. On my way up the hill, I completely had to
make full use of my imagination as I tried to imagine I was in a wonderful
green forest surrounded by lots of plants and fl owers! In actual fact, there
Our class teacher, Kiera and Jessee were not many green trees in that season in Canada because of the
dry weather. That made me a little bit disappointed. However, when we
moved deeper into the forest, I saw a beautiful view of Kamloops. The
natural long rivers and breath-taking mountains were all fascinating.

The most memorable thing was the trip when our class went to North
Barriere Lake with our teacher, Jessee and Kiera. We went kayaking,
played ball games and tried “s’mores” there. It was the fi rst time I tried
kayaking. The water of the lake was clean and clear. I guess we will never
see water that clean in Hong Kong. Besides that, the “s’mores” were so
sweet and delicious. It is a toasted marshmallow and chocolate folded
with graham crackers on each side. It is the most wonderful food I have
s’more
tried in Canada.

Talking about food, our homestay mother cooked a lot of yummy foods for
us. I tried lots of new food that I had never tried before, such as a bean
salad, pickles, apricot, uncooked broccoli and cauliflower served with
sauce. They all tasted better than nice and I really thanked Marian for
preparing all those delicious foods for us.

Kamloops is such a good place. It is different from other big cities. You
can smell the fresh air and ‘play’ with nature. This is something you can’t
do living in the big city like Hong Kong or Vancouver. I am grateful that I
can visit Kamloops and I have learned a lot of useful knowledge and skills
throughou t this summer trip.
