The reason why I love Winnipeg

 I have stayed in Winnipeg since 2011, April 3rd. When I arrived here first time, I was excited. On the other hand, I felt tense to stay one year in Winnipeg Canada, which is a country I have never come. After I have stayed in here, I found lots of kindness in Winnipeg. At first, I didn’t think I will miss Winnipeg when I go beck Japan, but now I have started to love Winnipeg and am going to miss Winnipeg very much. The reason why I love Winnipeg is citizens in Winnipeg are kind. I would like to tell you a story of a woman who helped me.
 
 Last May, I changed to my homestay from residence. I had a horrible time on May. The most horrible thing was a day I got lost first time. When I moved to homestay, it was really difficult the way how to go to school and home. My host parents are so kind and they told me how to go there, but I am not good at to remember ways. Moreover, I have to take 2 buses. It made me confused. First day I went to school, I got lost. I forgot which bus stop I should get off, but I have to change the bus. Anyway, I decided to get off a bus stop which I have never seen. Of course, I had no idea to catch next bus. This time, I didn’t have confidence to speak English. I really don’t want to talk with Canadian people, but I didn’t have choice. Then, I asked a old woman how to go to U of M. Unfortunately, my English was really bad. She didn’t understand what I said, also I could not explain what I wanted. I just showed her a map of U of M, and then she guided me a bus stop which goes to U of M. Surprisingly, she waited a bus with me until the bus came even though it was pretty cold. After the bus came, she asked a bus driver about me. I cried a lot because she was very kind and help to me.

I didn’t ask her about her, also I think that I will never see her again because it was almost 10monthes ago. She might forget me. It has been my good experience and I will never forget about it.

If I have an chance to see her again, I really want to thank her, and I will have good conversation because my English has improved. That I want.

 By the way, I had a really awesome time on my birthday!
Thank you my friends who celebrated my birthdayJ

Also, I had lovely birthday and farewell party in my homestay!
Thanks a lot!!
