Life in Canada

 

Studying English is never easy, especially when you are in your country. However, it's also difficult to study abroad because you need to face new challenge in different country.
When I came to Toronto, I had insomnia in the first week due to jet lag. Besides, I didn't use to the cold weather as well as the transportataion. It was already 10-17 degree in September, and I only brought T-shirts, jeans and coats which were not enough. At that time, I was living at homestay that was from Iran. The food my host mother cooked was very delicious, but living there always made me feel like a fish without water. They spoke their language all the time and had many rules. Therefore, I could rarely practice my speaking. Fortunately, I only booked homestay for two months.
After I moved out, I started enjoying my life in Toronto. Cooking is my favorite habit after class, and supermarket shopping is my favorite activity also.

 
   This Christmas vacation, I went to the United State alone. I traveled to NYC, Washington D.C. and Boston for two weeks. Although I had bad experiences at couchsurfing, I still came back to Toronto safety. And the story was happening from this moment....
    I had a bad mood when I was in the airplane which was heading to Toronto Island airport, because it was my first time in Toronto Island airport, I didn't know how I can take a ferry back to DT and I got lost. I went out to find the way and I met him who was smoking.

相較布魯克林大橋跟曼哈頓大橋，我個人認為曼哈頓比較美也時尚。
Comparing with Brooklyn Bridge and Mahhattan Bridge, I think Mahhattan Bridge is more beautiful and morden.
曼哈頓大橋連接下曼哈頓跟布魯克林區，橫跨紐約東河，是第三座跨越東河之橋。前兩座為布魯克林跟威廉斯堡大橋。上層有四線道，下層有三線，四個地下鐵軌道，一條行人到跟自行車道。

延續上一篇的景點，這裡繼續介紹紐約著名景點。
Following the last article, this one introduces famous places in NYC too.
 

在我心中，來到紐約一定要去的景點應該是：自由女神、時代廣場、百老匯歌舞劇、帝國大廈、洛克斐克中心等等。
In my mind, the most famous places in NYC are Statue of Liberty, Times Sq, Broadway show, Empire state Building, Rockefeller center etc.

此次旅行主要交通工具選擇了巴士，包括灰狗巴士跟megabus。而且我發現提前半個月或一個月前訂票，價格會便宜很多。像我買灰狗是半個月以前，就買到大約半價，另外也有聽說可以買到1元的megabus。
This Trip I choose buses as my major trasportation, including greyhound and megabus. I found if you book before 14 days or 1 month, you would have discount. For example, I bought greyhound ticket 14 days ago, the price was $45 instead of $90. Some people said you can buy $ 1 at megabus if you are lucky. 
The price is:價格如下

這篇要開始寫美國行的故事了!該從哪講起呢?
交通晚點說，住宿會提到一點，行程是重點。
行前準備呢?

這次體驗沙發衝浪Couchsurfing(簡稱CS)，主因是一個人在美國流浪，我在紐約住了五天的台灣人民宿，覺得自己旅行已經開始無聊了，所以試了沙發。
其實自己一個人旅行不見得不好，只是大多時候沒人可以講話，隨便找個路人也不見得領情。於是乎，尋求當地人或同是單獨旅行者共同認識這個城市，私以為是一個好方法。
