My Life in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada

My first night in kamloops

I arrived at the airport at Kamloops on the third of January 2008 at 6 p.m. In fact, the night was difficult because I did not know anything about the city. I rode in a special private car and I went into the motel in the city. At this time, I was accompanied by two friends. There were Abdul Aziz and Mohammed. We went to Motel Hospitality inn but the motel manger did not give me a room because all I had that was American dollars only. In the same while, my friends were in anther motel. Then I went to my friend's room after the first motel refused to rent me a room. In that time, the weather was so cold outside and the snow was every where. After all of that, my first night in Kamloops was not that bad.

Canada day
Canada day is July first. This is the day of Canada’s birthday. Every one gets together with family and, friends go camping, fishing, golfing but most go to Riverside Park here in Kamloops to celebrate this special day which is called Canada day. At Riverside Park people of all nationalities gather to set up booths with their culture foods and clothing. There are Chinese, Italian, Russian, Greek and many many more .Canada's birthday is celebrated by singing and dancing. Here is where people unite and show no difference as we are all one. At Riverside Park every year there are about 30,000 people of all walks of life . It is a very very happy day for all .Canadian flags wave on this day and a large cake is made for this day. This special day ends with fire crackers. This special day is put on by the city. I hope to celebrate Canada Day this year and experience it first hand.

School Life

I have come to Kamloops ,British Columbia to study Master of Business Administration at Thompson Rivers University. At this stage, I need to improve my English as it is very important for my next semester. I attend Thompson Rivers University every morning either by cab or my host mother drives me. All of my courses are ESL . I have great teachers.Their names are Jason Brown, Michael Sansome, Jane Steiger and Xueline Liu. I am studying five subjects which are as follows: Basic Oral Communication, Basic Reading Skills , Basic Grammer , Basic Language Skills, Basic Writing Skills. Most of my friends are from Saudi Arabia , and some are my class mates. Generally I spend six hours at Thompson Rivers University. When I'm hungry I usually go to the school cafeteria and I also socialize there. I guess the only difference between studying in Saudi Arabia and here is the language.

Social life
On the weekend I spend time on the internet because it is interesting.

I spend most of my time outside of school by myself and sometimes with

my friends. I enjoy my time away from school now, but before when I first came I didn’t know a lot of things to do , but then I started enjoying my time outside of school. I only stayed in Kamloops the whole time, and I visited Vancover once. The special place I went to was the Science Center in Vancouver .The main special activity that I do is walk around in Kamloops every day. I made many new friends since I came to Kamloops . My social life is very different here than in Saudi Arabia . In Saudi Arabia people have stronger relationships with each other.

Home Life

I am Abdullah Al-tamimi. I am 29 years old. I am living with a Canadian family for more than a month because I need to learn English. Before that I lived in the motel near the university. This motel is approximately fifteen minutes on foot from the University. I really found difficulty in the beginning ,but now I am very happy. I live with a very smart lady that helps me in many things.This lady owns a good dog named Maggie. I play with it every day.

Now I follow the routine daily . I come back to the house every day at one or five in the afternoon .I change my clothes and I eat my lunch .After that I go to my room to relax for half an hour.Lunch often contains vegetables and chicken every day. Sometimes a touch of Mexican food. In fact I can cook but I am not cooking because I am very lazy .After that I go back to my room to study and work on the internet. At ten o'clock I go to sleep.
I wake up at 5a.m every morning. I eat breakfast and I call a cab to go to the Unversity.
