Today, I chopped some logs to make fire. It is being one of the coldest days of the year and, i'm chopping logs outside, wearing shorts.

Hoje, eu cortei madeira pra faze fogo. Ta sendo um dos dias mais frios do ano ( acho que da pra ver a neve nas plantas no fundo la) e eu to cortando madeira de bermuda la fora.

Three weeks ago, i went to this place called the butchart gardens expecting a small thing with some flowers and stuff . But when i got there, Surprise, it was a huge thing with lots of different gardens. The best one in my opinion is the Japanese garden which has a narrow path to walk with colored-leaves trees surrounding you. It's not that the others aren't good, it's just that the Japanese one is my favorite. well, in the end of everything, it was one of the best things that I've done here until today. Last weekend i went to a place called naramata and the next post will be about it.

Salmon run

Yesterday i went to the Goldstream park to see the salmon run. There were just a few salmon there but it was enough to realize what was going on. For those of you that don't know what a salmon run is, it's a fight that all salmon in the end of it's life cycle go to lay eggs and then die. I forgot my camera when i went there but found this image on Google and it is actually the exact place that i was.

Being an exchange student is not just staying in another country to study it`s much more than that. Being an exchange student is to be open to change yourself, to be prepared to grow as a person. With this post I am starting to share this experience with all of you.
