It took me a long time to convince myself to post this. Hmm, let me see: about a year!
Maybe the main reason was, I insisted to write in English which is not my mother tongue but gives me a chance to communicate with more people.
About the name of this blog I should say, everyone has his(her) own book of life and if we consider the childhood as chapter one and teen years as chapter two of this book the adulthood will be chapter three, which I am in. I like to write my life story, it gives me a chance to look back sometimes and see how I spent my years.
Anyway, it’s almost one year that I’m here in Canada, among maple leaf people. Continuing my study, I’m going to school here at St. John’s, the oldest city of North America, located in Newfoundland.
I like this small, harbored, rocky city with its great views. I am used to watch Cabot Tower every day, located on Signal Hill, on the way home.
Once I read a list of one hundred activities that you MUST DO in Canada. One of them was pub crawling in St John’s. You can get pretty puzzled in George Street(The famous downtown street) and find several bars at both side of it.
St. John’s is also famous for its long and harsh winte and strong blizzards which cause the entire city to shut down occasionally. Sometimes the gusts reach 80 km/h or even more. All of on-campus buildings are connected to each other through underground tunnels.
Any way, I survived the first winter and the second one is not that far away. Seems lots of fun ha!

Dear Hiva,
I am chelsea on your FB, and by chance today I found your blog.
It is a big surprise to me, and I m so happy that I could read your story from September, 2006. Cause that is the time I arrived at St Johns Newfoundland, time is flying~~
Haha, I spent 2 and half years at MUN and finished my degree, now I m working at St John's.
I never wrote a blog to record my memories, not a single one, it was a pity indeed.
But now I found your blog, I could fresh my memories and thank you so much!!!
I was at George street, Halloween night in the year 2006, the pictures in your article are so familiar to me.
Best Wishes for you,
and good luck
Chelsea (Jiyi)
