City Tour

I'm terribly sorry about the late posts. I will try to post something every day, a little picture and a short video clips here and there. But for now, let me try to bring you up to date what has happened since the second day of the camp (about 3 weeks worth of activity)

Wednesday July 8th
Wednesday was our trip to the downtown core of Toronto. The students got up bright and early to head to Toronto. For most students it was their first time taking the school bus and were very excited. Our first stop was university of Toronto.

University of Toronto is not only the best medical school in Canada. It is also situated right in the middle of Toronto. The Gothic buildings of the campus are gorgeous and it reflects the architecture of its time fairly well. Students took a walking tour around the campus and observed student life as well as the scenery.


Our second stop was Royal Ontario Museum. Royal Ontario Museum is one of the largest museums in North America and many galleries exhibit works of arts, fossils, and historical artifacts. The museum is also very interactive and the students were allowed to wear costumes, and learn not just through their eyes, but also with their hands and body.








The third stop for the tour was CN tower. Students were able to go up to the CN tower, a famous landmark of Toronto, recognized all around the world. Standing at 533.33 metres, it is the world's tallest tower. Awed by the glass floor of the CN tower students stared wide eyed at the ground down below.


After spending lot of time at the CN tower students went to Eaton centre to shop. They were delighted to find almost all the store they could name in the mall or in the vicinity thereof.

Also it was Marina's Birthday! We had a birthday party for Marina. We had a delicious cake and we sang Happy Birthday to her. She was really surprised because she didn't know what we were planning until I walked in with the cake.

All in all it was a good trip.
