Niagara Falls experience

Hello again,

My family on a 7 days trip to Toronto, the city is great, and it is quite cold here. Otherwise, it is very good in Toronto. The food taste ok, and the water is drinkable. Also, the subway system is pretty cool, highly organized and sophisticated system. Though something I would complain about is the amount and of dangerous people on the street. A random guy got pushed into the subway rail as the train was coming in and the guy died. I think the suspect was arrested. All my condolences goes to their family but we must now move on to what happened today. We went to Niagara Falls today and it was a good experience. It was pretty cool seeing the falls from the Canadian side. The falls is very big especially the Horseshoe which is the biggest of all the falls. Before I get into details, I would like to thanks our tour guide, Mr. Kaleb. He has been on this very specific tour for 12 years. He has a very recognizable accent but he use it to his advantage and use it to create laughter among everyone on the bus. He also provided commentary during the drive to Niagara Falls which is very nice of him because it would be very boring without the commentary provided for us. Kaleb is a very good tourist guide and he definitely knows what he's doing. He's a true professional. 

The American Fall

So it's a 2 hours ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls. The falls consisted of 2 sides, the American side and the Canadian side. The biggest falls is the Horseshoe fall on the Canadian side. It spans approximately 200 meters wide. It is where the boat will take us to and experience the fall as near as it can without getting us all wet. That was nice of them but the point where they got us to already felt like it's a hurricane and everything got trenched. There was a lot of water pouring down on the visitors and it's also freezing cold water. Before we got on the boat, there was an old couple. The old lady got herself all protected with water-proofed jacket and all that, while the old man just don't give a damn about anything and wore his swimsuit. I'm willing to be that if it wasn't because of the freezing cold water, he would have went and taken a dive. In the end, none of them got wet because they stayed inside of a glass room presumably to stay out of all the water. After we got back on land, my family dried up and we went to the city/town center of the Fall. Let me just say that there are a lot of colors and thing going on at once, there are a lot of activities you can do, mostly museums and haunted houses. There were also a lot of restaurants and shops that sell souvenirs and stuffs from Niagara falls.

We were to spent 4 hours doing whatever at the falls, looking around, taking pictures. Then we all meet back at the designated meeting point at 2:45 PM for our drive back home. During our drive back, we saw a whirlpool, a cable car connecting U.S and Canada and did even more sight-seeing during the way. Overall the experience was very great and I had a great time. Kaleb was a great tour guider and he did great at his job. That is definitely a 10/10 experience

The Camp Squeah Experience (day 1)

Image
 Hello everyone.  I went on a 3 days camping trip at Camp Squeah with my class. Camp Squeah is a camping place 177 km north-east of Vancouver, it took 2 hours of driving to get there and it was a long trip but the view made up for it. Then there's my friend. There were an estimate total of 60 loud and energetic children on the bus so it was very loud and make it hard to concentrate on anything at all. I also consumed a sandwich every time the bus passed by a scene worth admiring. In total I consumed 2 sandwich because there were only 2 in the bag. When we arrived at camp, it was approximately 11:30 so everyone was hungry. They fed us a grilled cheese sandwiches and tomatoes soup. Then everyone went into the main lodge and the camp director, pretty sure his name was Nick, showed us how the camp works. Here's the breakdown: There's an inaccessible pool, a playground, cabins, a haunted church, a gym, an archery range a bathroom, activity courses and a field. Just to name a few...

The battle of Stalingrad

  The Battle of Stalingrad The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between August 23, 1942, and February 2, 1943, during World War II, is considered one of the most significant battles in history. It pitted the Axis powers, primarily Germany, against the Soviet Union, with the city of Stalingrad as the epicenter of the conflict. This battle and siege of the city was one of the deadliest battle in World War 2 history, over 1 million casualties on the Soviet Union side alone. The siege/battle raged for approximately five months and in those five months, there was a lot of learn on both side. For the German side, they learned the valuable lesson of to not invade the Soviet Union during the Winter, something that the French learned 130 years prior to the battle. But despite the Soviet Union emerging as victorious, was the 1.2 million death worth the trade? Was Stalin's order to hold the city using all forces available necessary to win the battle? And what about the decision of not letting the...

The Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair experience

  The Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair Hello again. So recently, I got into the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair or the GVRSF. I trust that you know where Vancouver is located and what a science fair is. If not, then there’s a reason. Anyhow, the whole thing was 3 days long and there was a lot of talking as you might expect. But we need to run that back, back 6 weeks ago when the science fair at my school happened. As a final test/exam in science, we need to make a project based on a question we came up with. I was partnered with my friend, Ethan, and together we come up a question. The requirement is that the question has to be answered using scientific research and it has to be related to science. So we got to work. The first part is to think of a question. I know that there are websites that give great suggestions for topics to do science fair on but I’ll say that 95% of those ideas are used at least once before. Also we wanted something original, a question th...
