British Columbia is renowned for its firefighting techniques, and its geography

which at times can make firefighting more than challenging. The British Columbia |
Forest Service regularly participates in an exchange program in which firefighters |
from Mexico come to Canada to partake in, and learn about, Canadian firefighting |
techniques. The firefighters pictured were in Castlegar for two weeks and then |
were on their way to Salmon Arm where they will learn more firefighting strategies. |

Greetings from Hong Kong

I can't believe hdw time flies! lt has already been a
month and a half since [ left Castlepar for Hong Kong. |
thought I'd better write now or I'd be on the plane home
before I knew it!

Life here in Hong Kong is wonderful but definitely differ
ent. Sometimes J wonder if I'm living in dream world where
everything is opposite. Having come from a small town and
living in a big house with a big yard on.a quiet street and
having attended a small school where | knew practically
everyone, I found coming to a-magsive city, living in an
apartment, sharing a room and going to a school with 3,000
Students quite a shock. At first I thought I'd never adjust, but
in no time at all it has become a way of life. | have adapted
and am very happy with my new life here

It took me quite a while to get used to some things,
particularly the people. Their reaction to me was the hard.
est to understand. They treated Heather (she's the other
student from B.C.) and myself like movie stars. At school
students would follow us everywhere; asking questions,
Staring and touching our hair and asking to be our friends.
In the beginning it was very unnerving as I didn’t know
how to react. Now I just smile and keep walking! It was
at this time, however, that I realized that no matter how
much Chinese I learned or how well I adapted to their
way of life, I would just always be “white”. I think it is
hard for Canadians to understand this concept as we come
from a multicultural country where it is normal to see
people of different cultures and races in our school. In
Hong Kong this is not so. Every single person in my

I am often asked by teachers and
other interested people which country
has the better standard of living, Canada
or Hong Kong. I have come to the con
clusion that it is the values that you put
on your own life that makes the differ
ence. The emphasis here is-mainly on
making money. Living in a tiny apart

fice for making a lot of money

Businessmen tell me that they'd like to come to Canada and
live in a big house, but if they did, they'd make less money
To Hong Kong people that's the key to happiness—moncy!
