Best of Montreal & Ottawa!

This trip was the best trip I have ever had in my life . I don't really think any better trip will be coming later..I loved every single person , place and everything in the trip . Ottawa and Montreal are both awesome cities and so do everyone in the trip. Butterfly Garden & Biodome was the best places that we visited in Montreal , seeing penguins and everything , shortly everything was awesome , I met so many people from all over NS and saw the Canadian "cities" finally!~here are "some" pictures from the trip!

Ottowa 2012!

   We finally arrived to our hotel in Ottawa , this trip is probably the best trip that I have ever had so far! That would be even better if my camera didn't break and stop working at the first day since I got it especially for this trip , but .. what happens , happens :( I am staying in the same room with Urara , Sojung and another Japanese girl called Rika , she is pretty nice and cute , too. I am exhausted cause of walking around .. in 7 days my coordinator Kevin is becoming 50 but he can walk 4 hours non-stop. I just admire him a lot cause of that but anyways.. He is the one actually making the trip this much fun!

    I don't think that we would have this much fun if he wasn't here anyways... Ottawa is what we call 'city' , Sydney is more like a village comparing to here and also where I am from . I am just so happy to see some high buildings after 8 months!! After seeing the town , now I decided that I would LOVE to live in this city . After arriving to our hotel & going  and having supper in an Italian Restaurant , Kevin wanted to walk around the town . We walked around the parliament buildings and on the main streets .. Friday we will be going to Hard Rock Cafe - Ottawa which is another exciting place to go here! Kevin also promised to take me to a Turkish restaurant here in Ottawa , I am just sooo pumped for that !! After having 3 days in Ottawa , we will head up to Montreal , this makes me even more hyper when I think of that! I hope that I will also see my Turkish friend there when I arrive to Montreal and at least to go to a restaurant there with her ~ tomorrow we will be going to a few museums.. and to NHL hockey game!!!!!! We will watch NHL Ottawa Senators vs Boston Bruins and then have supper in " the ledge " :)) I am just so excited for tomorrow :O
 Too much excitement is not good but I can't really help it. I think I'd better sleep now to be able to get up at 7 tomorrow , leave the hotel at 8 and be out till 10:30!! Today was awesome so I hope the rest of the trip will also be so much fun :) I also met so many new people :)) So shortly , I am pretty happy & going to bed!
That's all from me for today ,

Seagulls are scary

   Today I was in the park with Shota , thinking that we can finally feed the poor ducks . We went to Needs to get them some crackers then head to the park . There was only a few seagulls around when we gave the first cracker , then suddenly they became like 30 ,flying around , screaming for food . Even if I throw all the crackers like 10 at a time , the poor ducks could not really eat any because of them . Now I know how scary it is actually to have a seagull near to you less than a meter! That's just so weird that they don't really get scared of you ... Anyways. I really missed hanging out with Shota , even if it is so hard to keep our relationship ...recently. I wish it was easy to have a relationship. We also saw the movie "Hunger Games" today , that was actually one of the best movies that I have seen this year , for sure. I really wish I read the books too , my host sister read all of them and she says that I should read it . Now that movie is my favorite , comparing to the other "famous series " like twilight , harry potter and others . So yeah , I am also one of the fans now.I don't have much to say about today .
Thats all for today I guess ,

The weather is playing with us

Today was 20 C! I am in Canada , yeah , and it is warmer than my country for today , something is weird .. maybe the global warming? I have no clue.. Obviously cause of the weather , everybody was out again with shorts , flip-flops and everything . My other Turkish friend Efe picked me , Cem and Jenny up and drove us to our friends place which is right beside the water . But of course the water wasn't warm enough to swim but we made fire and stuff which was nice . Also in science class we were in the lab again , I actually learned a lot today! Like , if you burn Magnesium you actually get heat (obviously) and light . I also tweeted that and a random guy tweeted me back saying that i should visit blah blah page if i wanted more information about Magnesium , yeah i think so , it is weird .  I have beautiful pictures from the beach and lab but eh my memory card does not work. When the weather is warm , I think it makes people happy :) . Today Shota is also back to Canada so I am really happy ~ he messed up with his flight plan so he is staying in the hotel again and coming tomorrow , i have less than a day to see him! I will be rushing tomorrow to meet him but I also have a science and a math test , which wont be as fun - but I am fine with it :) I am really tired - and have to study some science . :( 

song  of the day :D 

Thats all for today

Labs are always fun

Don't you guys think we look cute?

In the science class , today we finally did something fun , went to the lab to explode some chemicals . Ashna and I wanted to take a picture with our super-awesome-big glasses . I really love Ashna - she is actually helping me way too much with so many things at school . The weather was even better than yesterday! They say that it will be warmer tomorrow ;)  I just noticed that there is actually a subway , 20 min walking from my house . Shota is finally coming back tomorrow night ~ I am really looking forward to seeing him on friday after school - It is possible that i will fly over to Newwaterford. It has been 3 weeks that I did not see him and I already miss him a lot - I don't really know how will this thing work during summer. Today also my friend told me that I will be missing the spring fling in BEC , because I will be going to Montreal :( This actually disappointed me so much since I wont be here for Shota's birthday anways and now I can't go to his spring fling either.. :( Today Urara and I decided to make a real big birthday party for us in April in the park! All the international students and our friends will be invited since we wont be having any problem with fitting people to a place.. That will be awesome , I am excited even now! My host sister Courtney is going to the :Hunger Games: tomorrow night at 12 , she is seriously crazy about that movie - I think she and her friends got their tickets like months ago! I dont think that Id be crazy enough to want to go to a movie at 12 when I have school , my mom would not let me go anywayss... That is also crazy how my mother in Turkey actually ignores my Skype calls unless tv has commercials . This saturday , Cem and I will prepare a Turkish dinner for Kevin and Debbie - that will be super fun too! Tomorrow we have double math and have a test on friday.. also a science test and we have an assignment due monday :( but hopefully i will survive :)
