everything was new for me. The weather, transportation, language are different
in Canada from my home country. I saw sky was so clear, Building was so big and
air was so fresh that day. I enjoyed the
beauty of nature. After doing all the formalities at airport, I went in front
of the airport door to seek my family. Finally, I saw them at a corner and I
was very happy to see them. Then followed my brother and put my luggage in car.
The weather was not so cold that day because it was spring, then I came home,

was all about.

My husband and
I landed in Vancouver BC in July 2020, or I should say exactly middle of the
pandemic. When we landed I was very excited, and also I was very worry about
the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the pandemic no one was allowed to pick us up
from airport, so we took a taxi. That day or I should say that month, the
weather was extremely wonderful. Blue sky,
crisp air, and it was quiet. It was sony day. On the way when we were going
home the whole things was like a dream for me, because in Canada there are
different kinds of houses. I was
surprised, because houses in my country are very different from Vancouver. We
had rented a house from a few month ago, so we arrived home, and we should have
to stayed in quarantine for 2 weeks period. Our friends bought for us food for
2 weeks. That was my experience for first day in Vancouver. And finally I have
to say that I am very happy to be here, and I hope everyone, can live anywhere
as the wishes.
Ex.8
My
first day in Canada... ohhh, it was unforgettable day.
It was very
exciting. I was very happy and also very nervous. It was very difficult and I
was very worried, because I traveled alone and my English was not very good and
also I came in covid 19 time.
So I should have
to get a quarantine for 14 days.
When I arrived
Vancouver airport, the police officer almost gave me a ticket, because I had
not have a place to stay at for 14 days, I just had a hotel reserve for 3 days.
But when I talked
to him and explain my status, he didn't give me the ticket.
It was 3000
dollars.
After that I went
to the hotel, I was so tired and so hungry, my fly trip took 24 hours to arrive
Canada.
They gave me some
food and some snacks, so I ate them and went to sleep.
It was a very
long time sleeping and very comfortable.
My trip was a
very big challenge and adventure.
It was very
difficult days.
But now I am
happy, because I passed these days, It made me stronger and made me do
everything on myself.
And also I learnt
a lot of things.
In ending, I will
tell you something.
If you want to do
something or you want to acheave your gouls, whatever you have, whatever your
age, just trust yourself and do it, whatever your gouls are difficult.
Don't scare from
anything.
Encourage your
self and do it.
Just work hard for
your gouls and for your future life.
You will achieve
them and you will be a very successful person.
