2006-06-21T08:00:00.000-07:00

As we rode the rides, had okay food, and a blast, Canada's Wonderland excepted the many cultures that were there. When we rode the rides or at least standing in lines, we saw the many cultures people expressed. We herd People speak different languages and we saw people wearing different clothing than us. We never took what they woar and what language they spoke to make them a bad person. Canada's wonderland had many things to make people more comfortable, such as signs, foods and hired employies that spoke the same language, to make them more multi-cultural. Canada's Wonderland is a great place for people to get together and show other people what their culture is.

If you were at the world cup

If you were in Germany, aka the world cup (2006) what would you see and who would you see.

If I was at the world cup I think I would be jumping for joy Because italy won and I would be very exicted. Also I think I would see people cherring or at least excited to see upcoming events to come. It would a totally different experince, to be able to experience different cultures, food and a whole lot more. I love to travel so it would really cool to add it to my list of traveling spots. If I was to go to Germany, and the world cup wasn't happening, I wouldn't go to that country, just for the fact that the people would speak a different language and I wouldn't be able to speak it. But when sporting events are happening I would go because there would lots of different cultures and people from different countries and i might be able to speak with them. I think I would love going to a sport event because you can meet some really nice people. So thats what i would expect on my trip to the world cup, no mater where it is.
