I love Stanley Park !

  On Tuesday April 23rd, I went to the field trip to Stanley Park with my teacher, Andrea, and my classmates. It was gorgeous weather. It was warm sunshine and clearing. First, we got on the number 19 bus at the intersection on main street. It took about 25 minutes to Lost Lagoon.The Lost Lagoon was the most largest lake at the Stanley Park. At first I saw mallard ducks and a pair of swans. Then I stopped by Nature House. Unfortunately it closed and I couldn't see inside. We can get more information about the animals and plants at there. After that we walked along on Tatlow Walk. We saw a massive Cedar that the bark was stringly and soft. Along the Tatlow  there was two more conifers, Douglas Fir, and Western Hemlock. An hour later, I arrived at Beaver Lake. There was a beaver'lodge in the middle of the lake. Some people read a book sitting on the bench, other had a picnic. They looked happily. When I lived near the lower mountain in Seoul, I often walked around the forest three times a week with my neighbor rain or shine. It's good for health. After finishing tour, I was in good mood. Nature gave me healing. I had a marvelous time. I would like to go there with my family on the weekend.

Fantastic experiences in Turkey!

Four years ago, my family had a marvelous summer vacation. Especially Turkey had both of two cultures between Asia and Europe.
 First, we visited palace museum in Istanbul. It was absolutely huge and also had gorgeous jewels and gems and so on. After that, we ate lunch at the Turkish restaurant. The food that was called kebab was out of this world. In the afternoon, we moved to Grand Bazaar that was the most enormous  traditional market. We saw gorgeous plates that was not only colorful paintings, but special design.
The next day, we were thrilled because we got a hot-air ballon before sunrise. While we saw fantastic shaped rocks on the ground, the sun began to rise. The scenery was absolutely fantastic and it was the most beautiful scene I had ever seen.
Turkish people always enjoyed to drink tea that was called "Cay". At first, I was curious about tea, and so I tried once on a ship. After that, tea was more attractive than coffee. Finally, during the tour I drank tea twice a day rain or shine.
When I turned back to Korea, I planned to go to Hawaii on next vacation.

Spring break!

Hi Amalia,

 I hope you're doing well.
 During the spring break, I went to the Metrotown  Centre at Burnaby with my daughter and my son. There were about 220 stores  and also it was pretty huge. First we went to men's store on the 2nd floor. My son chose a brown jacket and tried it on at fitting room. As soos as he came out at there wearing a jacket, we thought it looked good on him. Immediately he bought it. After that we moved to women'wear store on the 3rd floor. My son and I were waiting on the sofa while my daughter looked around.
Finally she decided to buy a green blouse. When we came back to home, we were very tired. However  we were very marvelous time to enjoy with my family. How was your spring break? Did you do anything special with your family? I'm looking forward to getting together with you soon.
Take care.

 Seunghee.
