First day of adventure

Yesterday, my Grandpa got out of the hospital.  He was in the hospital for over a week!!  We were all so HAPPY that my Grandpa was out of hospital that we all went out for dinner.  We all had Vietnamese food.  I had wonton soup.  It was DELICIOUS!!!

I feel happy and sad at the same time.  I feel happy because I get to see my cousins and my Grandpa.  I am sad because I miss all my friends and family and neighbours.  When I first came to Canada I felt anxious and curious.  The reason I felt curious because I didn't know what was on the road ahead of me.  The reason I felt anxious was because the same reason I felt sad.  

My first day in Vancouver, at the beach

  

Preparations

In order to get ready we need to sell most of our stuff.  So far we have sold: my bed, my bed-head, my bike, the dinning table, our couch, Burter's bed and Mum's car.  I now get to sleep on my mattress and Burter has to sleep on the floor next to my mattress.  

For replacement until we leave we have borrowed our neighbors camping chairs.  We are also using my family's sun lounger to sit on when we watch something on TV.  We also borrowed a wooden table and fold up chairs from our neighbor.
Our neighbors are very kind.

If we sell Dad's car I wonder how we are going to get to school. 
I don't have my bike so I can't ride to school.  Driving to school takes 6 minutes.  We might have to walk all the way to school!!!  I predict walking to school will take 7 times as long.  



   
                      

    

Meet Mads

My family and I are going to Canada in 12 days!!!  I am a little excited and a little nervous.  I can wait and I can't wait at the same time.  I have lots of friends at school.  I can't wait to meet my new classmates when I go to my new school.  I also wonder now and then what my new school will be like.  Maybe it will have a lovely outside garden.  Or maybe it might have a huge block of grass outside my classroom.  I just wonder...
