I chose to study in Vancouver, because it is a city full of beautiful environment, mixed cultures, and interesting outdoor activities.

The city has a very beautiful and natural landscape. Mountains are located on the North with white summits all year long. There are many harbors and beaches along the pacific coast and Frazer River. There are also many hills around the city with fine houses and green trees. It is a good place to reside at for people who love nature views.

Different cultures are mixed in this city. There are people from different countries using different languages here. I have made friends from different countries, including Japan, Korean, Mexico, Switzerland, Thailand, and Indonesia. I like to taste different kinds of food. Chinese restaurants, Japanese restaurants, Thai cuisine, or Mexican food can be found on the street.

There are a variety of outdoor activities that people can do here. In the winter, skiing and snowboarding are very popular. There are some nice places can do these sports, like Grouse Mountain and Cypress Bowl. I started to snowboard last winter. I found that it was so exciting and I would like to try it again. During the summer time, roller-blading is very popular. Many people play it on the street or parks. The Stanley Park is a good place for roller-blade players because of the long rout beside the water.

These characters make this city unique and attractive. I enjoy living here very much.
