Canada Educational Trip, Day 2

A crime scene...
Ouch! Who's attacking me?
Who is buying what?
Day 2 lived up to our expectation, if not also well exceeding it. We surely had a good taste of life in Canada.

The day started very "green" as we had a brief hiking experience in the pollution-free park called Lynn Canyon where the old Suspension Bridge is located. Not only did we appreciate the fun time walking like a toddler on that wobbly bridge, we were also melted by the great scenic view of the forest filled artistically with foliage and aged trees.

We then enjoyed an excessively large lunch of pizzas and chicken (and my passport was checked when I ordered a drink, ha!) before going to the famous resort, Whistler village. There were shops, restaurants and hotels in the village for tourists. The main attraction was certainly the snow-capped Blackcomb Mountain. The fun thing was, the tour didn't expect us to climb the mountain, but we improvised our way through it and purchased tickets to get to the snowy top by cable car! All teachers became kids again and played with the snow! We had to appreciate this rare opportunity as you don't usually have the chance to throw things at your boss, let alone throwing snowballs! We played for a while and left the slippery snow with half-soaked feet, forgetting the fact that we just easily overpowered the 3 degrees at the mountain!

The last visit of the day was a big shopping mall named "Aberdeen". To our surprise, the interior of the mall resembled so much of those in Hong Kong! Chinese seemed to be a very common language there, reflecting that Hong Kong people have already built up a healthy community in this country for generations. Ms Chan, Ms Ho and I visited some shops and then took their "Skytrain" (their railway system) back to the hotel. 

I didn't buy much today, but the experience was priceless!

Day 2 surely lived up to our expectation! Not only we could appreciate the magnificence of nature, we also enjoyed ourselves so much on Blackcomb Mountain, especially the snowball fight! I'm so looking forward to Day 3!

This was a very fruitful day. I would also have a fun time in the snow as I did in Japan. My family got all wet after it. From the gorgeous pictures I could see the beauty of nature and the tastiness of the pizzas. I am really looking forward to the next few days of the trip.

That must me a great start having fresh air through hiking! A marvellous angle of pizzas showing a lot of different tastes! That must be delicious! It had been a long time I didn't play in snow since I am 3 years old. Those photos above do make me remember my deep childhood of a Beijing trip on a snow mountain! Surprisingly, there is even a shopping mall called "Aberdeen" which showed there may be a lot historical events that Hong Kong people bring there before!

The trip today is so exciting,but I have some questions to ask.First, how did Dr.Lee hovered on the snow?Secondly,why did the waiter need to check your passport when Dr.Lee called the drink?

Thx for your questions. But first, I didn't hover on the snow! Second, why did the waiter ask for my passport? You guess!

I guess that's because the waiter needs to check if you're allowed to drink wine .

The food is really good ! You may have pizzas and many things else. Also, the picture which is taken up on the mountain was great! The view of that place is absolutely beautiful. I am amazed by the great view .Hope you have a great day.

This day is really remarkable, especially the snow ball fight, I always want a go at it , but as it is very muggy and humid here in Hong Kong ,I have never got the opportunity .

The world is amazing. The wobbly bridge is so long and just made out of string and wood but it didn't fall. I want to cross that bridge and enjoy the view of nature, breath the smell of the clean air.

It must be very scary to walk on the old Suspension Bridge. All of the teachers played happily with the snow. Did you play snow ball fight with each other?

Seeing the nature and playing on rope bridges must be such a natural and light-hearted day to spend the day. However, from the pictures up to today, I am surprised to know that a foreign country in the far land of North America has been influenced by Chinese culture and cuisine for a lot.
Hope you have a nice trip!

I think the most interesting activity on Day 2 was the snow ball fight .I love snow very much,I have skied in Australia for several times . Dr.Lee, did your shoes full of snow?Your legs will be very cold when the snow melt . I have tried it before as I played snow ball fight with my cousin in Australia and inside my gloves were full of snow and I felt freezing cold. I bought a hot chocolate and hold it for 15 mins.
