The Creative hour

7. In 250 words, create your ideal place.

My ideal place to live would be here in the Okanagan. It really is the ideal place to live with its long hot summers and not to cold winters but can be great for building an ice rink. My ideal house would be higher up in the hills of Penticton with a hug front yard and huge back yard. i would have the property fenced off so i wouldn't have to deal with wild animals such as bears. I would use all the space to make a giant ice rink that i can skate on and play hockey and teach my future kids to play as well when i wouldn't be playing hockey i would be playing with my dogs, One Golden Retriever and a Boardercolly chocolate lab cross. My life would be living my dream of announcing hockey for a living. My house would be 3 levels and very wide open, inside i would have a room for each of the people in the house specifically in my "Man cave" i would have assorted video game systems a projector TV, upstairs in the kitchen i would have the best and most advanced cooking equitment so i could cook the most exquisite meals for my family and friends. Back out side i would have a huge deck with a BBQ and a hot tub along with patio furniture and that is my ideal place to live

The top three reasons to...

The top three reasons to travel to Mexico on a hero holiday trip.

During spring break each year for the last seven years a group of students from Penticton and area have traveled down to Vicente Guerero, Mexico along the Baja California. Three reason to go on this trip are the following, one you get to travel by bus from here to mexico. Now the reason that is so awesome is the scenery is amazing and you get to know the people on the trip with you as there is no easier way to get to know someone than 35+ hours on a bus going there and another 35 hours 6 days later on the wat back. The second reason to go on this trip is the experience you get from building a house and experiencing of learnig a new culture. building the house with the family and getting to know the family is an amazing experiance you build life long frienships and to us its just a simple house 22 by 20 sq feet to them its life changing. The 3rd reason to go is becuase of this phrase that alll participants will learn and understand by the end and that is "you recive way more than you give". Now this is true in so many ways , for example the area we go to in mexico is the poorer part so its a real eye opener and great for anyone studying social justice. it shows you what we in our day to day lives take for granted, the diffeence between needs and wants. That is why you should go to mexico if those 3 reasons don't make you wanna go well then your just missing a few screws
