Until now, everything should be fine, and I almost could have a deep breath and do not need to worry about the university, the applications, the courses and the schedules. It’s done! Totally have been done. Maybe one thing that I need to take care is the courses because few of them are not in a right time, and I try to change the time let it becomes perfect. So, how are you guys doing here, are you all right, have you done everything? Ha, maybe there will not have any responses here, because we all enjoy our vacation, don’t we? And I would like to share the perfect time which we spend on the travelling and that is really fantastic.
On August 27, four of our classmates, Mahmoud, Mahammad, Aaron and I, we went to Mont-Tremblant which is located on the north of Montreal and it takes almost 2 hours to go there. It was our place, it was our time. We rented a pretty car, and Mahammad drove the car to take us to the destination. We sang, we talked and we enjoyed all the way. After we reached the Tremblant, the temperature is a little bit cold, but the air and the environment which I could make a comment is fabulous. The mountain, the forest, the lake and the beach show to us a natural cycle. We played badminton, soccer and the boat. We took huge number of pictures in order to leave this beautiful time in our mind. Actually, I really consider to touch the environment is good for our body and out mind. Perhaps that is the definition of my life. During the nightfall, we got the way to Montreal.
After this trip, I took a determination to get a driving license. It is absolutely useful and with its help, you almost can go anywhere. Last time, I heard one of my friends who is study in the United States said he drove his car form city Buffalo to Seattle, what a unbelievable driving way, it nearly takes 10,000km. However, that is really terrific.

Living in Montreal----Week 9
Montreal, even though I just have been there 8 months, still gives me a deep impression. I arrived in Montreal on January 4th, 2009 and at that time, Montreal was very cold and the sky was dark at 4 or 5 o’clock. I came alone, and did not know anybody. Today, I cannot image how I could pass that time, maybe I got support from my parents. After I could suit the environment in Montreal, everything was going to be fine like I met new friends. One thing I want to mention was that the people in Montreal were really nice, not only the teachers, but also the teachers. When I had some questions or problems, the people are friendly to help me to solve every problem.
As I lived longer, the knowledge of Montreal also increased. The relationship of our classmates is becoming strong. Sometimes, on weekends, we went out to have a picnic in Mount-Royal. Everyone enjoyed the time and we talked and shared to make the atmosphere to be fine. Even in summer time, Montreal has a beautiful fireworks festival in the amusement park La Ronde. Those best friends of us are interested to see the fantastic show. Personal idea, I indeed LOVE all of them, the style of life. Consequently, the work time is for working, and the rest time is for enjoying.
This weekend, my friends and I went to Village de Fitch Bay to see the Bleu Lavender and meteor shower. What a fabulous time we spend! I cannot forget that. At the beginning, we saw the lavender, after that we went to an astrolab and learned a lot about planets. In the evening, we made a barbecue and campfire. All the people sat together and talked every interesting thing. Eventually, we saw the meteor shower, that beautiful situation will exist in my mind forever.
Well, I found that I fell love about Montreal, the people, the thing and the life.

Discrimination-----Week 8
In China, I think discrimination exist in few aspects, especially for gender, economic class and sexual orientation. As we know, China has a huge number of population, and most of people are coming form country. So, it is hard for families to have girls. They do not have as much labour as boys, consequently, when country families has a girl, they may prefer to have another child. However, in cities, this kind of discrimination is not as serious as country. There has awareness that boys and girls are equal. In fact, this discrimination exists for a long time, since ancient time, people thought boys were better than girls. Economic class is also a part of discriminations in China. Some areas’ economy is better, and those area people prejudice other poorer area people. Or some people is rich, and they prejudice poor people. They thought they are the best in the world; they could do anything they want to do. That is a shame, they are lack of inner quality, they lose the principle of being a human, and that is why sometimes our country has argue on the living locations. Eventually, sexual orientation also is a kind of discrimination. Maybe by the influence of our education, it is hard to be a gay. By the traditional idea, almost all the Chinese cannot image that homosexuality is happened around themselves. So, if we found somebody has strange sexual orientation, they will be discriminated by us. All of them are the biggest discriminations in China, other aspects are exists, but they are not very obvious.
Actually, I do not discriminate against any groups in particular. I know that different people have different idea, different culture and different life style. No one is bad and no one is good. I think when someone was discriminated, they must did something that unaccepted by general people, however, there never have any groups are considered to be discriminated.
Speaking of the experience of discrimination, unfortunately, I think the unhappy thing was when I came in Canada and living in Quebec. Well, obviously, I am form foreign country, and the local people do not like the alien people. For example, one day my friends and I were going to play bowling ball. Before we entered the door, the guide asked us to show ID card (only passport is acceptable, student card is unavailable). We did not bring them and he asked us to leave. And we angered that we were the only people that be checked. So, we asked him why only us, he answered that he selected people to be check. Although, we were angry, the only thing we could do is leaving. Sometimes, discrimination comes suddenly and unbelievable. And we knew that, foreign people are treated as unfair way.
I do think it is impossible for anyone to be completely unbiased. The society we are living, the culture we are educated and the way we are thinking all influence our mind. More or less, we do not like other areas people’s living style and that becomes a kind of discrimination. Anyway, do not put our own expression when we meet some new views or things.
