Kong's.

Ziplining in a Temperate Rainforest
We went ziplining today. At the beginning,
I was quite nervous, because I thought it would be quite dangerous. However, I
found out that it is very safe. I
couldn’t imagine myself, so high up in a forest, but when I was, it felt like I
was a bird, flying overhead and looking down into the forest – I loved that!!!
I would recommend that everyone try ziplining. What makes it so much fun is that you don’t travel so fast that you can’t enjoy the ride. I was so glad that I challenged myself to do this sport. I can’t wait to do it again someday! I hope you do it too!

Shopping at Costco
I had heard about Costco in Hong Kong and
people tend to say that the products are huge. However, since we do not have a
Costco in Hong Kong, I had never been to one – until of course, Canada. I was completely amazed by the size of the
store and the size of the items. It was a lot cheaper as well. It even has
brand names in large quantities. I bought some facial cream. It was much less
expensive than in Hong Kong.
B.C. Museum
Today, we went to the BC Museum and saw many
things, and there were tons of histories about the First Nations people of
Canada. I’ve posted some pictures of the First Nations totems because I found
them very interesting and beautiful at the same time.There was also a visiting Egyptian Pharaoh
exhibit.
This was very interesting because I played a lead role in our school’s
musical ‘Egypt Express’ last year, so it was neat to see this exhibit. I also
liked the climate change section, because it showed lots of modern
environmental problems, which I think are very useful to learn more about,
since these are problems which we must solve in this century.
Sooke Temperate Rainforest Tour
Ah! I was so happy that after ziplining, we
got to go on this hiking tour. But compared to our Mt Doug hike, today’s hike
was much easier! It felt like I was in a wonderland. The views were beautiful,
and we had three guides, who helped us learn about temperate rainforests and
biodiversity. Sometimes, we could see little animals, like squirrels, and we
could hear song birds singing in the trees. 
We also saw an otter, and we got to
look at an ancient civilization’s rock art. You will never believe what happened at the
end of our tour… we came upon a meadow of daisies. Yes, daisies, just like my
name. It was so beautiful. When you looked across the meadow, there was an
opening between the trees, which gave us a great daisy-ocean view! I’ve never
seen anything so beautiful before in my life! This was even more special for
me, because if you don’t know, my English name is Daisy! So, for me, this
meadow is mine!Whale Watching
I
was surprised by how long it took to find the whales, and that there were
environmental regulations that kept us from getting too close to the whales.
The regulations are to help the whales, because boat noise creates problems for
them as they cannot communicate with each other, when the boats get too close.
I think that it is good that Canada protects its whales. They are so special. On The Ferry To Victoria
 This photo was taken when we were on the ferry and we were going to Ms. Smith's home! We couldn't wait to see how beautiful her home was! |
