The most memorable activities were zip treking and tubing. At first, I think zip treking is very dangerous and horrible, but when it started it was not so scary. It was quite fun for me because I haven't tried this before. Once we start, we can't stop in the middle so I had to finish all of the zip treking. The most horribe one is the longest trek because I had to stay on the trek for such a long time. On the day of tubing, I went to the lake to do this activity. I love this so much and this is my second time to go tubing. I was so excited on that day because I know tubing is a fun game. Also, the food is amazing. The Italian pasta was really good. I still remember the taste of the pasta. I will miss Wynchemna, all the teachers and Roger so much. I want to play all the activities again. I won't forget Canada.

Tubing

When we went to that desolated beach we didn’t expect that we were going to have so much fun.   We left Craig  before arriving at the beach because he had to rent the boat.    When he arrived with the yellow donut I was amazed.  I ran to the boat and jumped on it.  I just wanted to go on that banana coloured tube.  When Craig stopped the engine in the middle of the lake to make the first person jump on the boat we all felt so exited. I think that Craig found it funny shaking students to the left and to the right and making them fall, because he did it very well. When it was my turn I was a bit scared because I had never done it before and when the engine started working I felt like I wanted to stop but eventually I didn’t. It was my first time tubing and I liked it so much that I did it 4 times (and would have done it more if we didn’t have to return the boat) but I felt like I would have continued for all the day even if sometimes when you fell into the water you got hurt so bad that you feel like you have to stop. I think that everyone enjoyed that wet day. I hope I can do that again.

From Aug 7 to Aug 12, we were camping in the Gold Stream Park. I was shocked by the beautiful landscape, although the ground was too hard and there were many insects in our tent, but trying to put up our tent was an awesome thing. During those days, we went Zip-Trekking, Kayaking, shopping in Victoria, whale watching, tubing, also we saw the movie in the park called ”Harry In Your Pocket” and watched the Roller Derby game of Craig’s girlfriend, who’s called Stevie Wounder, she has pretty good skill in the game. But I think the most exciting activity during our camping days was tubing, it is really interesting and stimulating. I like camping because it brought me a lot of funny things.   

Today, it’s my third last day in Canada, in Wynchemna, August 8 I will go back to my country. These days I have spent in Wynchemna are my best experience in my life.

 I think I will miss all my friends and life in Wynchemna!

- Hao

Tubing was awesome, I did it a lot of times but it was the best because we reached crazy velocities and my friends were with me. I think Craig hates me because during my turn he reached maximum velocity of all the group. :-) sometimes when you fall down from the donut it's very painful, but it's still a lot of fun.

How about FOOOOD?;-) Almost all the time (7 weeks Calgary+Vancouver) we ate junk food. But several times we ate pizza, Asian food etc. it wasn't so bad, but in everybody's motherland has more healthy and delicious food. Pasta by the Italian guys was awesome! It was one of the best meals at wynchemna.

Poker was one of the best activities in wynchemna, because it's not very tricky and it didn't need any physical efforts from players so everybody can play it well independently on their own abilities. And it's a very fancy game. You only can achieve success if you try really hard.

One day, in the morning, we went to a lake's beach. When we arrived, the first group (Artem,Alessandro,Raffaele and Elliott) went in a boat with Craig. On the boat there was a tube and a lot of life jackets. After thirty minutes, the second  group (Alberta, Linda, Cherie and me) went on the boat. Linda was the first: she got on the tube. When she returned on the boat, she was laughing every second! The second one was Alberta and the third one was me! I liked tubing very much! It was very funny but It wasn't my first time because two years ago I tried tubing in Italy with my family. The third group consisted of Hao, Yi and Dominique. At 1.30 p.m. we had lunch: we ate sandwiches with ham or turkey and some vegetables. In the night Raffaele, Alberta and me  cooked Italian pasta. It was good but it wasn't like Italian pasta because Italian pasta is better.

- Eugenia

One day of camping we went to the beach and did tubing. We made three groups. I was in the second group, so when the first group came from the water it was our turn. We went to the boat where they waited for us with a big yellow ring. I went tubing first so I put on a lifejacket and went on a big yellow ring in the water. The boat went very fast  so I held on to the ring very hard. It was a very fun activity and I think everybody enjoyed it.

- Linda

One day, after breakfast during the camping, we took the bus and we drove to a mall in Victoria. We had about two hours to do shopping. The shops in the mall weren`t so good, so Eugenia, Cherie and me went outside to find some shops. After that we had lunch together and we took a boat to go whale watching! The boat was big, with a part outside and another part inside. During the navigation we stayed inside, but then we went out where we could see better. We saw a lot of killer whales. One was very near to the boat and we also saw two whales jumping! It was amazing! I really liked it.   

- Alberta

The first day of camping we had a day full of activity. In the morning we went zip treking in a place called "adrena-line". We had a lot of fun zipping between very tall trees. Our two instructors were funny guys that helped us to enjoy the activity more. The route was quite long and caused me to get an adrenaline rush. There were long zip lines and fast zip lines, in each one you can take the position that you want to go faster and have more fun. The last zip line was the fastest one and they took a picture of you, but you didn' t know where the camera was, so the photos weren't that good. After lunch we went kayaking on a river. It wasn't that fun, so me and two other guys started to race and throw sea-weed at each other. At the end we raced all together.

Grisha:

My favorite activity is Vancouver in a day. Because I bought headphones and it was very fun. Second my favorite activity was Lynn Canyon because it was very fun and good. I like wynchemna because it was very fun and interesting but sometimes it was very bad.

The end! Goodbye wynchemna!

Shandy---Trip to Whistler

Today we went to Whistler, where the 2010 winter Olympics took place. First, we took the cable car to go to the top of the mountain. The scenery we saw in the cable car was so amazing! The shiny, white snow covered all over the mountain and the sky was in an azure blue. As soon as we reached the mountain top, another awesome thing happened! That was the snow! Although there was lots of snow around us, we still felt warm and comfortable. Almost all of us started to grab the snow and made lots of snowballs. All of us were so crazy that it was like another world war. Everyone enjoyed it.

Daniil

My favorite activity is day when we go to play hockey. My favorite activity day was when we go to the play Lazer Tag.

WYNCHEMNA I love YOU

I have many friends in the camp. I had a lot of fun with them all. I met Karla and Ann at first. They were so friendly because they hug me. I was really surprised. Then I met Sophie, she was from Germany but she left early. After I met Galena, Arturo, Isaac, Randy, Priscilla, Alona, Kate, Alberta, Eugenia, Marsha and Anna.They were also nice and kind.  Shandy, a girl from Taiwan, she was my best friend in Wynchemna, she helped a lot. I will miss her in the future. She is so friendly and I have known a lot of tourist spots in her country. I hope I can go to Taiwan in the future. We always have fun together. It was really good.

- Cherie

Wynchemna

I am in Canada, and I went to Vancouver two weeks ago, and tomorrow I will go back to Taiwan.

In Vancouver we did many activities about water, because Vancouver was close to the water, we also played paint ball, oh! It was pretty fun, but when you are hit by paint ball it was really painful.

But my favorite activity is kite surfing, because you needed to know where the wind was coming from, and you can move by wind, also it was pretty fast, in the end I think Vancouver was better than Calgary.

- Eric

My new friends

In my life I never thought I'd find good friends in a Summer camp and that it would be so difficult to say goodbye. But I just want everyone to know that if they need help, I will always be there to help them.

I'll never forget my new friends because they did so many interesting, amazing and unforgettable things.

Although initially I was just with my brother, we found many other good friends.

I think that the most important thing in a friend is that they always be with you and I think that they do that. Sometimes saying goodbye is a default, but it's better to say "see you later!"

- Daniela

The most hilarious activity we had at wynchemna was definitely the talent show. It's really amazing how at the beginning no one thought they had a talent to demonstrate, and at the end, it stayed like that. Teachers were so surprised about our lack of talents that they decided to assign us a few. Everyone practiced in their own teams and at the moment of the show every demonstration was impressive. We got a few dances, magic tricks, people playing piano, songs and even showing gymnastic skills. The best group, which was obviously the winner, did something so brilliantly stupid that it kept us all amazed. They decided to eat fruit on a bed while Craig (amazing wynchemna teacher) played a beautiful song on the guitar. Everyone had a great time with this activity that at the end showed us all that we have to keep looking for our inner talents.

Vancouver in a day.

Go-carting and talent show.

 In the morning we went to go-carting. It is races by small cars. It was great. Car was fast and nice. I liked it.

After go-carting we went to the shop to buy costumes. Then we had an hour to        

prepare performance. Nobody knew what to do. Our team prepared two dances one- boys, one- girls. Our team won. I was happy.

- Tatiana.

At the morning like usually we have got lessons but after it we went to play paint ball it was very interesting, one group attack and one protect. It is like laser tag but real. If ball came to your body it don't always splash with color, it usually just hurts. I like it very much because it is like a war but not real, so cool. We played 3 games 15 min each. When I first time hear it I was thinking that why so short time but when we were playing it was so long time. After it we went to the beach to eat dinner, after that we went to play ping pong. We lose at first time I can play but I was so tired and lazy so I tried to lose!) after it we had free time and all group went to Starbucks. It was an interesting day.

- Alena

My friends in "Wynchemna"

When first I came to "Wynchemna" I tried to be with my friends from Russia, but teachers always said that we have to mix... I haven't got friends, but after week I started to speak with everybody.Than when it was time to go camping, I had a lot of new friends! I was happy because a lot of people knew me and I didn't feel lonely. In the camping tent I lived with 4 girls. They all were my friends. All people helped me.

 But all the time, in all situation this moment always happened... You have to say "Good bye"... I thought that I would say it to my friends later, but I was late for a bus and they left...:*(I was very upset...but then we went "Road trip"And I know people more! Then we came to Vancouver. There were people too, and I really like them... I have a lot of new friends. I will miss them SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!:*(

- Maria

My favorite day in Vancouver was when we went to the art gallary we stayed there for a few hours we had a great time looking at the pictures after that we went to play hockey and it was fun but the best thing of the day was laser tag, we had fun playing together with my friends. Our  team won one time and the second time we played in a bigger team so we lost. I liked these day because we hanged out with my friends a lot.

- Sergei

MY NEW FRIENDS

Travelling to Canada was a new and good experience because on this trip I practiced my English and met new friends.

The first days were boring because I didn´t have friends but the next days I met new friends and I practiced different activities.

In the different activities I practiced my English with my friends and had good, funny and excellent moments with them.

In Canada and in Wynchemna I met new friends and best friends, I practiced good activities such as hockey, Vancouver amazing race, kite surfing, trip to whistler ,talent show, laser tag and I visited famous places in Vancouver such as aquarium, art gallery and others.

But the activity I didn´t like is saying goodbye, this activity is the last and the activity most difficult for me.

- Isaac

I Like this week in vancouver                                                                

My most embarrassing moment at wynchemna? kite surfing because it’s the first time. It's was pretty scary to take off.

-how Canada is different from my country ? Because Canada is very big and cold in winter / hot in summer  and food is very big in Canada "super size"

Quarter : It is a rule but it is difficult. Soon I realized I soon became poor

My favorite activity during this stay was playing paintball that I loved even if the bullets spanked. I made an evil good technical strategy such as that was great, I had an excellent stay in Vancouver, full of surprises.  I will never forget to thank you Erica wynchemna Christina Jamie  and Craig.

By juan

Today is the last day in Wynchemna  for  some students--it’s a such bad news for me. In those days which we spent together. I think it brings an unforgettable memory to me.

And I will miss all the things and all the guys here forever. They‘re such lovely guys and I can learn many things from them, like getting along and making friends with the other people ,it is a useful skill for me. The teachers in Wynchemna are also nice ,too. Like Jamie, Craig, Christine, Erica , Roger and Linda , I think it is a fantastic thing that we can get along with friends like this. They are friendly and full of passion.  They give me lots of help, not only in teaching, but also in my daily life. I can’t imagine the day I leave Canada to my country, but I am sure I will feel sad because they are like my family when we get together in Wynchemna. The only thing I just want to say is Vancouver is a pretty place and Wynchemna is an awesome place.  If I could, I’d like to join this camp every year, but in any case , just like the lyrics of “Hotel California,” I will never forget the things and people here ~~forever….

- From  Hao    

on the 1st August we had a later breakfast in the morning in our breakfast groups and then we had special lessons, not in classes but at the Vancouver Art Gallery. There we had to answer with a partner some questions about the paintings and the artists. After that we had lunch in a mall and we had a little time for shopping. Then we took the bus and we went ice skating. Some students played hockey and the others just ice skated. After that we had supper with our breakfast groups but with different teachers. We took the bus again and went to play lazer tag. We were divided in teams and we had to shoot with lazer guns the people from the other teams

- Alberta

Today is 10th I have been to Canada，I feel not good when I arrived first, but when I came to Wychemna, I feel very good, because I make   many friends in here，Eric，Danny...and teacher are very nice，like Craig, Christine, Jamie, Erica, Linda, I love them very much! I will remember forever. We have more and more activities in Wynchemna, for example, we went to Vancouver Amazing Race, Art Gallery,Kite surfing , Sailing, by the way,skating is my first time, but I don't like it. Because it made me feel very nervous. Finally, I wish come here again. I love Vancouver,I love Wynchemna.

- From Yi

What will I miss. 

I' ll miss a lot. For example my new friends. Like Ann-Kathrin (from Germany)

 Eugenia and Alberta(from Italy), Carla, Daniela and Priscila (from Mexico) I will miss some activities. They are really interesting. I will miss lessons. They are very funny and creative. On lessons you draw, play  games, do interesting work. 

And I will miss Vancouver. This amazing city I won't forget. Cool big shops, wonderful parks, and beautiful nature. 

Come to Vancouver  Wynchemna.

QUARTERS IN WYNCHEMNA

Everything has ruler, so in wynchemna was the same, there were rules, but a special rule in wynchemna was giving quarters to teachers for speaking in another language, without english. It was a good rule for everybody, because everybody knows, what other students are speaking.

A bad rule was if some people from same countries go somewere, where there weren´t teachers, and speak in our language.

I want to go here more times and be here longer time. I will go to the camping, but i think, it will be good.

- Dominik

Wynchemna. In Vancouver. My favorite activity it is shopping. We were in mall.

It was great but we have short shopping. And I liked.

It is not so different Russia.

I have a lot of friends from Spain and Mexico. My favorite was salad.

I like wynchemna!

I will come back!

Talent Show

2nd of August we were hiking and after hiking we were shopping for our Talent Show. In my group were Anna, Alberta, Daniil, Taiisia, Randy, Arturo, Daniela and Yi.　Our idea was to lay on a bed and eat fruits. The other groups were dancing, singing or show us card tricks. The winner of the talent show was Christine’s group. Erica’s group danced “moves like jagger”, it was a really good dance. Daniil made acrobatics and everyone have a good time.

August 3rd, 2012, I went to play paintball in Wynchemna. It is a very exciting activity. It is a powerful, interesting, action-packed sport. Although it was not my first time to play paintball, I still thought it was a fresh new experience. I think the field in Canada is much bigger than the field in Taiwan. It was a nice challenge when you complete the mission with your teammates. You will be very proud of yourselves. Today is my last day in Wynchemna. I really have a lot of fun in here in this summer. Wynchemna rocks!

Activities in wynchemna. Part 2.

Today we're going to the aquapark. I think it will be great. I have never been there, but 2 girls were. They said it's very scary. So I'm really exited!

Yesterday we were in Whistler. It was nice! We rode on Gondolas. I liked it. We came on the top of the mountain and ate there. After it, we took some photos and it was so hot, so we... Went to play snowballs!!! It was amazing! There was a lot of snow, but my legs were cold, because I was in sandals.

After it, we went to the highest view. It was beautiful!

It was shopping then. I was going with my friend, Kate, and we spent about 50 minutes in L'OCCITANE. So tasty creams!

It was a funny situation again. We went to the washrooms in Starbucks, and then shopping again! When we went to the place of meeting, Kate wanted to take Iphone, but... She left it in Sturbucks!

We ran there. The waiter gave us her Iphone, so we went out ... But it wasn't her Iphone! We went back and there were 2 more Iphones, one black and one Kate's. Everyone loses Iphones in Starbucks washrooms!

Go-carting by Raffaele Conte

On the second of August we went go-carting. It was a really isolated place in the middle of nowhere. It was a quite big track and there were some arcade games. It was my first time in a go-cart and I had lot of fun. I raced with my friends, crashed with them and played arcade games with someone. It was a very nice day also because I raced quite well!

Laser tag

One day in the evening , we went to laser tag. I was happy because I played it in my country and it was very good. When we started first game it was not very good because there were three teams and it was bad because there was not many people, so every body killed you .The next game was much better because there were only two teams, so half of the people were on your team .It was nice evening I think and many people enjoyed it.

Linda Vrbova

on the 3th of august we went to a place situated in the forest near Vancouver were we played 3 rounds of paintball. simple rules: don’t take off mask!

29 of July

After going to a hike, we took lunch on the beach. We ate sushi and we started to play with a big tree trunk. The game was to roll the trunk and not fall. After that I put Mexican music on and I taught the others a dance with a song called “Payaso de Rodeo.” Everyone had fun that day.
- Karla

My favorite day in Vancouver is the day we went hiking and had dinner on the beach. At the evening, it was beautiful with the sunset. Before we had time on the beach to play soccer and football. I was with my friends and we had a lot of fun.
- Sophie D

Roger was driving for 2 hours when we reached a place that seems as desolated as Alaska. The 31st of July started as usual: nice breafkast and not too much sleep. When we arrived a guy split us in 4 groups and assigned us a teacher. Lots of kites were there on the beach, they were so colorful and beautiful and it was a a lot exciting seeing how some other guys were kiting and surfing so high. It seemed to me an easy thing to drive such a funny kite however it wasn’t. Practicing with the sail on and we all understood that the guys on the water were making it much easier. After that we wore a kind of funny suit that was supposed to be water proof and then everyone on the water! I saw lots of jumps, lots of faces and lots of laughs. It was the best morning of Wynchemna.

The August 1st was the best day in Wynchemna for me because of ice hockey.

                  Vancouver down town race!
At this day we went to down town Vancouver. We were with a group of 9 people. Main teacher give us paper with places that we need to visit. We were with teacher who was first time in Vancouver so we were asking People on a street and trying to find name of streets that they said to us it was very difficult. The same as go on a bus because we don't know on what bus stop we need to go out so we were very scared that we will drive other direction. When we went on a bus it was very fun because we first time saw bus when only 25 people can go it was not small but not  big but it was very comfortable To go on it. When we chose when to go out one boy was in headphones, other group was in this bus too so he didn't Get out. We already were on a street he came to the bus door so it's closed and stertorous to drive it was so fun because we Need to run after bus station and we don't know were it is so we was like with closed eyes. Then when we start to walk and ask people we start to find places on this list in the city. Then we saw shops and asked our teacher " Can we go, can we go please?"

And she said ok but only one shop I and other girls chose Claire's. we went in it I ask about do holes in my ears but they said I need to be 16 or bring my mam. Then we went to the Nelson park when we was walking there we lost but when we found direction we found a lot of things on paper like blue taxi,hospital, hotel lobby . When we were walking to find place for dinner we found place called le crocodile restaurant . No one can found it but we found it and we were so happy . We had dinner at a place where there was McDonalds ,Tim Horton and Starbucks. We chose this place because we were so tired and wanted to eat. I think it was the funniest day.

Date: From  Juiy 27 to  Aug  2

     Today  is  the  seventh  day  I  have  been  in  Vancouver  and  I  join the  wynchemna  summer camp. I think it  is the most interesting choice I have made  so far  in my life. I believe it can bring me a lot of change in my life .I meet a lot of interesting guys here, not only the teachers but also the students.  We can make friends with the other people who come from different counties ,I think it is a awesome thing for me .

In here ,I have tried many things that I have never tried before, It is the first time I do these things like kite-surfing, sailing, lazer-tag and so on! It brings me a lot of unforgettable experience .

The first day when I arrived in Vancouver ,I was shocked by the views of Vancouver and some many awesome cars, the guys here are friendly ,full of passion. We also have a pretty environment and nice traffic here, everyone here who drive cars can wait for the other people without complains, it is rare in our country. Then we go to visit the downtown of Vancouver, I find everyone like having sports like running ,riding a bike or roller-skating ,it is the most healthy country I have ever seen.

In a word ,Vancouver is a fantastic country and I love it very much . also I like Wynchemna ,too. If I could ,I want to come here every summer holiday, this is the most wonderful thing I have done in my vacation before!~~

29th July,'12

We had normal Breakfast at 8.30 in our Breakfastrooms. at 9.15 our first lesson starts. At 12.15 school finished and we all went together to lunch in the cafeteria. When everybody was finished we went to hiking at lynn canyon. We hiked for 2 hours and took a lot of pictures. After hiking everybody was hungry, so we went to the beach for dinner, we ate sushi and pizza. When everybody was finished we walked to a little shop and painted ceramiccups. At 9.00 pm we was back in Wynchemna.
By Ann-Kathrin

The best day I had is on the day having Amazing Race. It was the coolest day in my life. We went to down town and got many photos. It was the most interesting game I ever had. We found a lot of different places. It was really fun with other guys and exploring the down town of Vancouver. After that, we had supper. Then at night, we had meeting and Craig announced the winner of the game. Although we just got 1st runner up, I had a lot of happiness on this day. After this adventure, I think Vancouver is diffterent from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is very busy city and there's a lot of cars and buses. I think Vancouver is good and had fresh air because there's a lot of trees on the road
- Cherie

This is one of my best summers because I met new friends and I learned to do new and different activities such as ice skate and went to new places for me.
In the ice was so funny because first I was in the border of the ice like my brother, but when I saw that I can I go away and start to skate but it was so difficult and then Karla fell and then she hit me and I fell and it was so funny because I was lying in the floor because in that moment I felt so bad and many people go to ask me if I was ok. And then when I stand up Karla said sorry.
Then when I was skating again the people who were next to me asked me if I was ok and I always answered ok. Then I was seeing something and I fell and was so funny for me because I try to stand up but I can’t and I needed help hahahah.
When all were changing their shoes Karla showed me that in her hand she has a cut, maybe the skate do it when she crashed me.
- Daniela

On July 28th morning we had regular breakfast at 8:30 in our breakfast groups and three lessons as usual. After lunch in the cafeteria at 12:15, we took the bus and went sailing. At first a teacher explained to us how to sail and showed us the parts of the boat. Then we went sailing. We were three in each boat. It was funny, but there wasn’t much wind. After it we had pizza on the beach and some students played frisbee. When we returned we watched a movie with popcorn.
- by Alberta

We went by bus to kite-surfing. It was very cold there and so windy. When they instructed us, we got special clothing and went to the water and tried to fly a small kite. When the first group came from the water we then got life vests and helmets and we went to the water. We traveled by small boat far from the land and we tried to fly the bigger kites but it was so hard and the water was very cold so after a short time the kite fell into the water and the teacher took us back to the boat and the kite from the water. When we finished the hour of kite-surfing we went back to land and took some dry clothes. Then we went by bus back to UBC.
-Linda

Vancouver in a day.
We went hunting. Don't worry we did not kill anybody. It was a photo hunt. We had five teams. All teams had a list of the photos we needed to take. I was on Linda's team. We had seven people in the team. I really enjoyed it. I was speaking with many, many people. But in the end we were very tired.

After the hunt we had dinner in a Chinese restaurant.

P.S. But the best part of the day was our victory.
With love Tanya. 


On the 31st of July, we did kite surfing. In the morning we went there by our bus. When we arrived, I went in my group. My teacher's name was John and he was very nice and kind. In my group there was Ann, Alberta and Dominik... We were very scared!!!! Dominik was the first and I was the last. We tried the kite. The water was very cold, but we saw a sea-lion with his baby and it was so cool! Then, we tried the "real" kite surfing (with the board) It was very difficult but I liked it very much... On the 16th of August I will go in Sardinia, in Italy, and I want to play this sport.
 Eugenia Longo


I enjoyed the kite surfing, because I did it only one time long time ago, so it was great to discover it one more time. I was not very good, and we did not have enough time to try the kite and the board together. I only tried the kite, it was very difficult to do it in the water, because the wind was strong and the water was very cold. It was also very nice to do it in a very nice place.

Hello my friends. My name is Galina. I’m from Russia. From Vladivostok. It is near Japan. I’m 11 years old. I want to tell you about my first day. It was good. We work in Vancouver. It was interesting. It was a game. And I won. Come if you want to Vancouver. We were in the streets. We were asking a lot of people. I like it. 
Good bye.


Vancouver in a day. It was very hard and fun. I was very tired and wanted to sleep. We had a lot of fun and we saw a very cool car… a Ferrari. We saw a house with trees on the roof. It was very interesting and very good. We ate sushi and miso soup.

Wynchemna/2012/2.08./
I think it was a great day yesterday. In the morning, after breakfast, we went to the art gallery. It was nice. I liked some pictures, but when I looked at some pictures, I thought that I can draw better:)
We had a list with questions. We needed to find pictures and answer the questions. I was walking with my friend. We laughed together!
Then it was lunch. After lunch we went to play hockey or just skate. It was one of the most cool activities in Wynchemna. Some of us played hockey, some of us skated. The ice was good, but when we started to skate it was a little bit boring for me. 2 of my friends learned how to skate. 2 other friends taught them. Another girl was just sitting, because she couldn't skate. I wanted to teach her, but she didn't want to. So I turned on my Ipod. It was fantastic! Skating with music is great!
Then we went to do some shopping. It was OK. Then it was dinner, but I just drank some coca-cola, because when we were shopping with a girl, we went to Tim Hortons. Nice!
After the dinner we went to laser tag. In my city there is the same. I thought like this. But when we started to play, I understood, that the maze is gigantic!
How to play this game: you are in a maze and you have a gun and a vest. There were 3 teams (in next game 2 teams). You should run and shoot enemies.
I had a great day!

Vancouver is in Canada, and there are many activities in our group, and my favorite activity is kite surfing, and I had a lot of fun, we jumped into the water, and we used kite to moved ourselves, it was pretty fun. Also it is very difficult.

Ice Skating is fun, too. I can skate on the Ice and play Hockey, and feeling I am flying.

Lazer tag is fun too. We can shoot each other, and have two team, one is green other one is red, and I am so excited for paint ball.

Danny:
My country is smaller than Canada, and Canadian food is bad, Taiwanese food is good, and Canadian peoples are very strong and tall, Taiwanese people was strong too. But Canada is colder than Taiwan, and I never do ice skating in Taiwan, but I did in Canada, we also learn some English, but I think that did not change anything.

Arturo:
Canada is different than Mexico because in Canada the people are more friendly, in Canada the food is not good , Canada is more cold than Mexico , and I learn skating and how to ride a horse in the activities of Canada , the beaches of Mexico are more beautiful than the Canadian beaches because the majority of the beaches of Canada don't have sand.
