Day 28 - What country do you want to visit?

I applied for the contest because I want to win the prize of a trip to Canada. When I found a poster about the contest in school, I was very excited about it. I have never been to Canada, and to be honest, I have never been overseas. However, I did not enter the contest just because I want to go overseas. One day, I watched a TV program that introduces a different country every week. I watched the one about Canada, and I have been fascinated by its people and culture since then. I have been getting itchy feet and can’t wait to be off on my trip.
I know that there is a maple leaf on the Canadian flag. Later, I found out that maple syrup is very popular in Canada. Some people even use the syrup instead of honey or melted sugar for cooking. I want to try it and see how different it is from honey or sugar if I visit there. I like ice hockey more than soccer. Soccer is more popular in my country, and not many people like ice hockey in Korea. There aren’t many places you can train or watch the game. Canadian ice hockey is very strong and popular. I want to see many games if possible.
I know that the capital city of Canada is Ottawa. When people travel, they usually visit the capital city first. However, I want to go to Vancouver first and ride the sky train. I think it would be a wonderful experience since there aren’t any sky trains but only subways in my country. I can’t imagine what it would be like to ride a train high above the city.
Canada is known as a multi-cultural country which means people in Canada are friendly and welcome people from other countries. I think they are very open-minded. So many kinds of cultures and people coexist there. So when you visit Canada, you not only experience Canadian culture and customs but also can have unique and memorable experiences. I cant wait to hit the road and see all Canada has to offer!
