In my new post I'm going to write about first impressions of Canada. As I have already mentioned some of them in my previous post, so today I will only add a few things to that.
I have never been to Canada before, almost everything here differs from my country and even small thing sometimes surprise me, but still I can't call it a culture shock.
I want to begin with food. I didn't expect such a great variety of burgers, pizza and other unhealthy food in home-cooked diner. I'm not used to eat burgers or pizza for dinner at home ever.
One delightful event that took place on 6th of July I would like to mention is IlluminAqua. It's a monthly show on Welland Canal with good music and fire. It's wondrous how water, blues music and fire combine with each other.
This show was the first memorable event that deeply touched me.
My most absorbing excursion was Niagara Falls and Maid of the Mist. In general, we were there for approximatly 3 hours, that's why I would like to come back in this city on my future weekends. The most remarkable sight surely were Niagara Falls. It was a breathtaking view, espesially from boat that took us extemely close to the Falls. The part I liked the most in our trip was the splashes of water covering people standing too close ( I was one of them) to the edge of the boat. After visiting the Falls I went to the Skylon - a tall tower from which you can overview the city and it's suburbs. On the top of it landscape was incredible. Although a ticket to the tower was a bit expensive, it worth it. The feeling you have on the top is amazing.
The next awesome excursion was a trip to Toronto. At the first glance it looks like New York . I can say so only because of hundreds movies that show main streets of New York. I think the best word to describe this Canadian New York is urban jungle. The only sight I was able to see was Cn tower. It's much higher than Skylon and sometimes it was scary to look down on the streets, even though it was a spectacular view. I don't regret waiting nearly an hour in queues because for many foreigners Cn tower is the main attraction of Toronto (like Big Ben in London). More than that, while I was walking to the CN Tower I noticed two brightly-coloured pianos and I couldn't pass by them. Despite I'm not a professional pianist, I was completely astonished and played a few songs. I wish I had more free time to look around this huge city .
I look forward to have more exacting experience such as sailing and kayak boating. Moreover, I eagerly want to go to Canada Wonderland and try some crazy slides there!
