My Home in Toronto….

Toronto adalah bandaraya yang besar…… harga rumah mahal dan sewanya juga mahal…. Sebaik tiba kami di Toronto , amirah and family menumpang selama 2 minggu di rumah kak farah & the geng ( thanks kak farah... ) kak Farah ni adalah pelajar Universiti Toronto… waktu kami sampai kak farah sedang bercuti dan pulang ke Malaysia….

Selama 2 minggu ini umi & abi berusaha mencari rumah sewa untuk penempatan kami selama 2 tahun ni dengan dibantu oleh abang-abang dari Universiti Of Toronto.... agak sukar untuk cari ruma sewa mengikut budget yang kami ada dan boleh memuatkan kami sekelurga seramai 5 orang....

Banyak syarat dan polisi rumah-rumah sewa di sekitar downtown Toronto ni.... Rumah dua bilik tapi tak boleh lebih daripada 3 orang..... Aduh... sedangkan kami 5 orang..... nak sewa yang tiga bilik tak mampu la pulak.... rumah Yang murah, jauh daripada tempat kerja umi pulak..... Susah jugak umi nak ulang alik tempat kerja........ perlukan kos travel dan komitmen masa la pulak.....

Akhirnya.... umi dapat rumah di Alan Brown.... berhampiran dengan hospital sick kid.... ( 1 bedroom apartment ) dan tidak ada syarat limit penghuni…… Alhamdulillah….. Sewanya pula 1 bulan 1700 CAD = ( RM5000 ). Rumah ini agak sempit kerana hanya ada 1 bilik sedangkan kami 5 orang…. Walaubagaimanapun, Abi cakap bersabarlah.... kita belajar bersusah untuk sementara..... lagipun inilah yang mampu dengan biasiswa yang umi dapat.....

Walaupun rumah ini kecil, amirah seronok tinggal di sini kerana ramai kawan-kawan dan dekat dengan sekolah...... Kat sini penghuni semua yang bekerja di Hospital Sick Kid yang datang dari pelbagai negara..... Amirah ada ramai kawan di sini.... ada yang dari Turki, palestin, jepun, China, Ireland dll........Kat sini ada playground di tingkat 6.... amirah selalu bermain dengan kawan-kawan di sini...

TORONTO IS THE MOST POPULOUS CITY IN CANADA…

Toronto City

Toronto is the most populous city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. The history of Toronto began in the late 18th century when the British Crown purchased its land from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The British established a settlement there, called the Town of York, which its lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe, designated as the capital of Upper Canada. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed Toronto. It was damaged in two huge fires in 1849 and 1904.

Over the years, Toronto has expanded its borders several times through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently in 1998.According to the 2011 Census, the city has 2.6 million residents, making it the fifth-most populous city in North America. In 2012, the municipal government published a population estimate of 2,791,140, which led to media reports claiming Toronto as the fourth most populous city in North America and the most populous Great Lakes city, surpassing Chicago. The census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 5,583,064, and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) had a population of 6,054,191 in the 2011 Census.

Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Area, and of the densely populated region in Southern Ontario known as the Golden Horseshoe. Its cosmopolitan and international population reflects its role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. Toronto is one of the world's most diverse cities by percentage of non-native-born residents, with about 49% of the population born outside Canada.

My first friend in Canada…

When I arrived at my new apartment,(Alan brown building) I went to the park that typical in that building. I was so happy when I saw the very beautiful park.Then, I went to the sand box to play with the sand.I saw a girl who’s same age with me. She greets me”Hi there,pleased to meet you!”then,she introduce herself.We became friends during the summer, and I hope that we two are in the same class.But, unfortunately 1 month before we going to school,she went back to Palestine (her country).I was really sad.But,I know that I will have a new friend and I never gonna miss her until now………
