 To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter to complain regarding the poor service of bus Route number C23, that comes from Beach street  to Main street. Almost every day, a bus is more than 15 minutes late, consistently late, although the city busses used to come on time and they are providing the service every ten minutes.  However, some busses never stop at my bus stop. Therefore, it makes people frustrated and angry, especially people who are punctual about their work time. Meanwhile, many people are staying in the long waiting lane every morning.

Consequently, I would like you to take some effective actions to overcome this problem. Firstly, could you please increase the number of busses in the busy hours? The other change I suggest is that it would be much better if you talk  with your drivers to follow the schedule given by the company more careful.

I believed, these  changes will make the transport facilities better than, they are now.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you whether you will be able to solve this problem.

Sincerely,

Yana Bobrova

Food and food habits.

Food and food habits are different around the world. Today, I had a chance to talk with two nice women from Vietnam and Poland. We had a discussion with Dorotty about what is a typical dinner for people in her country. She described her country as a colorful country with a rich variety of ingredients that people use to prepare their dinner. The set of ingredients depends on the part of the country where people live such as south, north and middle of the country. Usually, the people use a small pieces food and mix them together, for example: vegetables, rice and fish or meat. Afterwards, I talked with Maria from Poland. She thinks that she is a good cook, although she doesn’t have enough time to cook now as she did before. Perhaps when she is cooking, she prefers to cook Mediterranean cuisine. Her favorite food is broccoli salad with her own seasoning. Finally, if you ask me how many people are overweight in my country, I would say not a lot. The people in Russia, especially young don’t really think about what they usually eat, but they try to keep themselves away from  fast food places. They do a lot of activities outside such as play games, do yoga and just goof-off and enjoy their time walking. As a result, the people all over of the world enjoy food and they try to eat more healthy food them junk food. That is a good point to control our meal and lifestyle which helps to prevent some health problem in the future.

Some of them were create from metal plates and it look like a xylophone. There for playing you should use wood sticks. We felt thrilled and excited to worked there.  

My own small garden

A long time I had a dream about my own garden. This weekend my husband and I realized this idea in the reality. Although our balcony usually is windy because it has a front view to the ocean. We decided to decorate our balcony with flowers and make our small garden. We went to a garden market in Steveston. There is the small market but it has a big variety of flowers and plants. I spent about an hour there enjoyed the wonderful smell that flying around me. We were able to choose several beautiful flowers and plants for us. We were absolutely satisfied. After all we had an unforgettable lunch with fresh seafood at the restaurant on the sea side. The next our stop was at the Home Depot store where we bought all supples for landing such as flower pots, soil and etc. After that we came back home and started to create our small garden. I'm very appreciate to my husband for the help because he made the most of the landing work. Now it seems amazing! It's inspiring me to rise and care of our garden in the future. I'm sure, we will have a delightful time there. It's so romantic.

My son's birthday!!!!

Last Sunday we celebrated my son's birthday at the Stanley park. First of all we invited my son's friends with their parents. The day was expecting fantastic, warm and sunny. The place when we decided to celebrate was in the middle of Stanley park. This is meadow seemed like a green rug with bright sunshine in the blue sky and huge cedars around it. I love this meadow because it could to hide you from eyes anybody. We prepared a lot of entertainment  for everyone but especially for children. My husband and I bought many bubbles, sweat delicious and fruits. At the end of party Daniel blew out candles on his birthday cake and we all together sang song for him. Daniel was excited to get a lot of gifts and wishes. Every one of parents took a part to play with kids. There we spent almost all day, enjoy the weather and communicate to each other. Definitely, it was a delightful day when everybody had a fun. I believe that Daniel had a ball on this day.

Volunteering at the BMO Marathon

Yesterday, I had a great opportunity to attend at the BMO Marathon as a volunteer. It was Canada's largest marathon, with 18,000 runners. The weather was delightfully sunny and warm. The marathon should start at 8.30 but I met with our team captain Andrea and other volunteers at 7.30 a.m. at the our station. Our location was on the corner Blanka St. at 16th Ave. First of all, we got some instruction from our trainers about what we should do. After that we started to prepare water and power bars jell for runners. The trainer warned us about that we will be getting about 5 runners at the 1 sec when it started. We decided to share our work between each other. When it started we all of us were are ready. Some volunteers filled water to water cups, others gave it to runners, another offered  power bars to them. It seemed there exciting. At the same point, the runners got so much that they started bumping into each other because someone didn't stop when they picked up water. The cups with water fall down and the water splashed everywhere. It was hilarious. The runners were strong and didn’t give up. I think, we did a hard and wonderful job. It was really exciting. Definitely, I’ll  take a part of other events as a volunteer because it has given me a good experience and a lot of fun. Finally, we took some picture our team. One of them I share with you.
