Living in Another Country

I am from Brazil and I have been living in Canada for three excellent months
and I have been doing a lot of interesting things. I have taken some trips; I have been to CN Tower, Niagara Falls, Toronto Zoo, Casa Blanca, and Toronto Island. I have been studing in an English school in Toronto, PGIC, but in my first month I got always of the school and took a trip to French Canada. It was so good because I could see the influence of French architecture, the Canadian Parliament, the people speaking French on the street, a lot of other things that I had never seen in Brazil.

I have been to Quebec, Ottawa and Montreal on that trip. In Quebec I could see the influence of French style in the old Quebec, I have also gone to a pretty good nightclub, I had never seen something similar. In Ottawa, the capital of Canada, I could see the Canadian Parliament and a beautiful sight. I also have been to Biodome of Montreal, where there is a nice zoo inside. All this things was very good, just one thing I did not like, I am tall and the bus was uncomfortable, that keep me up all the travel.

On the week, I have been going out to some nightclubs like Momentos, Mana, Piccadilly. There you can meet a lot of people from different countries: Brazil, Korea, Japan and Mexico. On November 31st was the Halloween, I bought a punk rock costume, there was a blue wig and a rist band, it was very fun. I went out to a nightclub, everybody was looking to me, I stood out from the other people.

During these three months I have been improving my English. I have been talking to my host mother, some American friends, people on the street. It is very amazing, how my English was in January of this year and how it is now. All the teacher of my school are very good, they are very patient. I am proud of myself, now I can watch movies, read book, talk to Canadians.

Finally, I met my mother halfway; we have together been saving money, because I would like to stay my cristmas in New York City. I would love to go there, I want to see The Time Square, Liberty Estatue and it will be very good if snow there, because I have never seen snow. After all those things, I can go back to Brazil, see my family and my friends.
