My skiing experience

The last Friday I went to skiing with the activity program, that was my first time doing a snow sports. When I put my ski I felt very uncomfortable and scarred because, I couldn't move very well and I felt like I was falling, but when  started to ski I forgot the bad felling I had. I took some lessons who were very helpful, then I went down the mountain. the first time I went down I couldn't stop and I crashed with crowd of snow it was an embarrassed moment  but at the same time funny. That was a great day because I felt so much adrenaline and enjoy with my friends.

The lady on the road

  The lady  on the road is famous story in Portugal, It became famous in the world by a video on youtube, the video shows 3 guys who were in a car around Portugal, drinking alcohol, and recording with a video camera. Then they saw a girl on the road wearing a white dress looking for help, they stopped and the girl got in the car. The girl was crying and screaming, the guys tried to calm her and wonder what happened. then the lady said ''you see over there, I had an accident there and I died''. When the camera focuses on her, she became a ghost,  and  made the car flip over. Almost everybody died on the accident except the boy with the camera.

 That video scared me because I searched on internet and found the police report and photos, all told me that the video was true.

My first winter in Calgary

The last Monday was the first day of winter in Calgary. It started with -15°C and 10cm of snow, citywide collapsed because of the snow. For me the first day of winter was awful  because all the buses that I take to get to the university were late and stalled on the road. Also when I was waiting for a bus a lady got stuck in front of me, so I came to help her and when the car started I fell and I hurt my hand. But The winter is not bad at all, it has a lot of good view and the people play on the snow making snowmen. I learned to enjoy the winter, we just have to respect and has fun. Remember many people live whit the winter everyday.

Mcdonals and Senor Burger

Mcdonald and Senor Burger are two restaurant, Macdonals is a chain restaurant and Senor Burger is a local own restaurant. They both are located in Caracas Venezuela. Mcdonals has cheaper price than Senor Burger. However Senor Burger's food is so delicious. Senor Burger's employees are very kind, but It is hard to find. Mcdonals has very good discounts, but the service is very bad, the employees are very unpleasant. At Senor burger if you buy a big combo they'll give you a big extra fried French for free. However at Mcdonals you can buy Happy Meal with a free toy. Around Caracas there are many Mcdonals, it is very easy to find. However Senor Burgger is unique. For me Senor Burger is better than Mcdonlas because Id prefer Their food. You tell me your opinion, Which one do you prefer.
