I took this photo on my way home from school. When I was walking, a gray animal crossed in front of me. I didn’t realize it was a coyote because it was walking like a dog. Coyotes are an animal that can not be seen in Japan, so I took a picture. I chose this photo because the sunset was just shining on the mountains and it was beautiful.

When I went to Vancouver, I got a fever. I contacted my host mother and she said, “I will pick you up now”. I didn’t expect she can pick me up, so I felt we are like a real family.

I took this picture from car window. It was so beautiful view which I have seen in my life.

My host family took me to the lake in the evening. It was the first time to visit the lake in Canada, so I was excited to see them. We did campfire near the lake and ate sausages and marshmallows. After the sky darkens, we looked at the stars while lying down. Fortunately, I saw a shooting star. I had never seen them, so it became a memorable memory.

My host family took me to Sun Peaks. We road chair lift to go to the top of mountain. I have never ridden chair lift, so it was scared for me to sit on it, but I could feel fresh air in the mountain. It was nice view from chair lift.

On my first day in Kamloops, I remember seeing the mountains illuminated by the setting sun and I I felt so beautiful. It was a mountain that I don’t see often in Japan, so I really felt I had come to Canada. At that time, I couldn’t imagine what the three months of study abroad would be like, so looking at this scenery, I had high hopes for my life in the future. This picture was taken at that time, so this is very memorable for me.
