There was a Rotary trip on 12-13-14 th of February. It was such a wonderful weekend.That trip was for all inbound, outbound and some rebound students. My club president Denisse and his wife and my club IYE counseler Jean drived me, Cotii, Daneila and Misha(outbound students for my district here) and Kelsey(rebound student and my host sister).
We leaved at 9 a.m. on 12th and reached to Revelstoke around 3 in the afternoon. Then we met other exchange students there and talked a lot. we were waiting for the bus from USA. Which was with about 30 students. They came around 6 in the evening. Then we all had dinner and some free time. Then we played lots of games and it was so well organized and so much fun. Then the party was started. DANCE PARTY. We danced like after so long. It was awesome. We went to bed at 4 in the morning and woke up at 7 in the morning. After breakfast, we had some free time and outbound students had session.Then after launch, we went for tubing. OMG, tubing was the best part of the trip. They don't have real tubing thing. So they made one, and then we walked there. But it was really great. In 1 tube, where only 2 people can go, we went 8 in that tube.Ha ha ha. We also made tubing train. and almost at the bottom, when the people from 1st tube fell down, everybody fell down. Ha ha ha.
Revelstoke club gave everyone a sweater and everyone signed on eachother's sweater. On Saturday, we danced a lot and didn't sleep at all.
On Sunday morning, after breakfast, we lived at 8:15. The car started at 8:15 and everyone was already sleeping at 8:30.Ha ha ha.
Rotary Youth Exchange is more fun when you have trips around. The other best part of the Revelstoke trip was, we got all the information about our bus trip in May. Everyone is so happy.

I had great days and lots of good memories in last 2 weeks. I can't believe it's February already. I still remember my first day, week and month perfectly. But anyways, I'm having good times almost everyday. Accept I'm home sick sometimes. My host dad told his friends that I'm homesick almost everyday at supper time. Ha ha ha. because of the Indian food.

On Monday, I went to the Olympic torch celebration. It was fun. i got a photo with Olympic torch. Then(Cotii,me and Kim) went to the mall for no reason.Ha ha ha.

On Wednesday, Marietta came to Penticton and Cotii, Astrid, Marietta and me spent some time together. Astrid and Cotii came to my house in afternoon and we were in hot tub. Then Marietta came and we went to the mall and then to the Starbucks.We tried to take a picture of us together in really small booth( I don't know what it's call). We were crazy, because we knew that we won't be able to adjust but still we tried and we got every one's eyes only.Ha ha ha. But whenever we will look at that photo, we will laugh on our selves.

I spent weekend(30-31st Jan) with Cotii and Marietta in Apex and then we three went to Oliver to stay overnight at Marietta's place on Friday. On Saturday we went to Osoyoos to stay overnight at Corinna's place. It was so much fun. We watched a movie called "The Hangover". OMG...It was 1 of the funniest movie I have ever seen. The best part of the movie was ,'there is a tiger in the washroom'. It was the funniest moment ever. Cotii and I laughed so hard. Marietta and Corinna had already watched it. We went to Tim Hortons for coffee on Saturday. Then we went to the park in Osoyoos and had so much so much fun, and also took lots of photos. Then we went for ice skating. It was my first time, but I guess I was good because I know roller skating. Corinna's 1 school friend was also there with us. She joined us everywhere.

Then the regular week in school and on weekend, on Saturday, I went for movie with Cotii. It's called "Dear John". It was good and emotional love story. On sunday, i just slept in and talk with my 1 Indian friend.

Today, I took 1 movie DVD from Penticton Public Library. The movie called "My sister's keeper". It was a good movie and really well acted. I cried at the end and also during the movie. The movie is about 2 sisters and 1 brother and 1 sister has Cancer. But I really liked the story.
