Finally, we visited the famous Niagara Fall =) Its my favourite attraction in Canada so far and the view is spectacular and fantastic. Niagara Fall is shared between Canada and United States, but the view from Canada side is the best! Luckily im viewing from the Canada side =) We took the Maid-of-the Mist boat ride too.. $13 per person.. I love it =)
There were many white birds here..
The white thing is not cloud.. Its called the Bride's veil.. When it gets larger and larger, it feels like raining.. It formed from the impact of the water fall i think..
This is the American Fall:
We have to wear this free poncho to prevent us from getting wet from the waterfall and the mist.. The bridge behind me link Canada and the States.. This is called the Rainbow Bridge..
Me and Jiali in the poncho.. i still keep the poncho =) :
Our boat on its way near the mist (Bride's veil):
After the fantastic view of the Niagara Fall, we went to Clifton Hill for its interesting shops and museums.. Its a cool place tat looks like amusement park.. We jus shop around here.. walk walk see see and took lots of pictures =)
There's fireworks at Niagara Fall on Friday to Sunday nights.. so we were lucky tat we went on the Friday and Saturday.. At night, there are many different colour lights on the Fall.. very beautiful.. The fireworks make the whole scene even more beautiful.. But it was super super cold tat night.. we braced the cold weather and wind to watch the firework display.. After tat, we took a cab back to our hostel which is actually very very far away from the Fall.. The taxi driver was quite scary at first.. He wanted to bring us to somewhere else and said wanted to treat us Chicken wings.. We insisted on gg back to our hostel so he hit the steering wheel and shouted "damn".. scary.. He even tot we are Japanese.. diao.. anyway we get back to our hostel safe and sound and its $8 for the ride.. Its quite worth it as its almost the same price wif the bus for 4 ppl..
Video clip of the firework =) :
The next day, after a hearty breakfast at Dad's Diner, the plan was to ride bicycle to the factory outlets at Niagara.. But all the bikes in the hostel were rented out.. so the few us took the bus there.. We were hopeful tat we will find lots of bargain at the outlets because seniors who went there last year bought a lot of branded stuffs at cheap price.. However, when we went there, its not as cheap as wat we were told.. Those tat we like are not on sale.. but i did get some accessories from Guess.. However, the stuffs there are indeed slightly cheaper than normal retail price.. I think i shall do my shopping at New York ba.. The tax is lower there =)
We leave for Toronto at 4 pm and mugging for the test began.
