About Japan

We are both from Japan.

There are some differences between Japan and Canada.
First, here in Canada, a consumption tax is higher than that of Japan. We were very surprised to know that. Second is about breakfast. Japanese often have rice, miso soup, green tea and so on. On the other side, Canadian have cerial, toast, coffee, amd so on. We both like Canadian food very much. Third is about a bus. In Canada, the bus drivers do not announce where the next bus stop is. We were very very confused when we got on the bus for the first time. For, in Japan, the bus drivers always annouce where the next bus stop is. So this was the surprising thing to us. There are more differences between Canada and Japan. It is interesting to understand them.


Some Canadian eat cerial for breakfast.


This is a common breakfast in Japan :o)

About Hike to Colliery Dam Park

Today, we went hiking to Colliery Dam Park in the morning. On the way, we saw a lot of plants which teacher taught us in the class. For example, black berry, maple, small apple, and so on. We spent a very enjoyable time there.
In the Colliery Dam Park, we enjoyed a beautiful scenery. I think that there are a lot of beautiful places in Canada.


This is a black berry!
