A Trip to Woodland Culture Center

I will never regret of this trip.  

This was a wonderful tour to native culture. It was a discovery trip of similarity of the world.

Last Friday, I joined the tour to Woodland Culture Center. It was organized by our school, Mohawk College. Because of cold weather, there were only less than 30 travelers. I'm very glad that I went.  There I knew about some cruel history of the residential school, the stories and spirit of native Indian (I think they are Native American). It's nice to know that most Canadians are immigrant. And Asian even has more similarity in culture with them.

This is a man with local costume! I never thought that a man could wear such flowery costume before.

My favorite male head dress.

We had wonderful lunch after the trip in the small museum.

The rolling cake filled with cream and eggs are delicious. It's the first tasty meal I had outside in Canada.

After the meal, a guest speaker told us the history of the union of 6 nations. Their natural energy theory is really similar with Chinese Ying Yang theory. Moreover, we both use herbal medicine to cure disease. Being a Chinese, I think Chinese herbal therapy system and Ying Yang theory are more mature and developed. 

Oh! Did I mention we went there by a luxury bus? It's the first time I took a bus with limo-style furnishing.

First Month In Hamilton, ON, CANADA

Tomorrow I'm going to explore the native culture near Hamilton. I hope it would be fun. Originally I want to have a blog introducing interesting places in Hamilton. But I have to begin with something outside Hamilton now.

By the way, I come from China.

There are not many Chinese living in Hamilton. I realized it after I went to the Chinese church here. On the first Sunday I came here, my cousin brought me to the Pacific Mall in Toronto. It's a China town. I don't really like it because the goods there are too normal to me. One of my classmate said it's good and cheap. But I know that those products are much cheaper in China. Though it’s said to be one of the largest malls here, I felt it really small.

I did go to the McMaster University in Hamilton later. It’s nice and old. I love the plants climbing on the building. They are green and vivid.

I went to Niagara Falls last weekend. The water is dramatic clear in such a large area. It was regret that it was cold and cloudy that day. So I didn't take a boat trip to view it in a close distance.

The photos look like half tone photo because of cloudy weather. I wish I could go there again in Summer time for shooting better photos.

The above is a famous attraction of falls in China for you to compare:

I shot them in in autumn, too.Autumn is dry there, so there was not much water.

Which one do you like better? I like them both, because they have different styles.
