Last weekend the other exchange students in our district and myself were allowed to walk in the Brampton parade!!! It was one of my greatest Rotary moments ever!!!
 
We had the best time!!!! I arrived with Tracey and Andre on Friday in Brampton, where we split up and stayed at different families over night. I stayed with Ken with Joerg, an exchange student from Germany. We played Monopoly till 4 in the morning. That game takes for ever to finish. It was so much fun. In the morning we went out for breakfast. After a big breakfast, we went to Lazerquest to meet up with the other Exchange students. It was so much fun!!! I ended up 5th once and 15th the second time. Ken beat me so bad. haha. Then we went to the YMCA and made our costumes for the parade. We were going to dress up as presents with our flags in our hand. The parade was awesome!!! Not even that cold, considering it started arround 5. So many people!!! They were all shouting Merry Christmas at us and we shouted it back in all different languages. The best time!!!! We "slept" in a gym after that. 5 other girls and me stayed up all night. We had the maddest time in the gym. we played soccer in our sleeping bags, basketball, danced, talked.... the greatest time. so tired in the morning though. i fell asleep periodically on the way home. it was one of my greatest weekends in canada though!!! Thank you Rotary!!!!!
