Hi Pam,Greetings from Vancouver. How are you? I hope you're well. We are enjoying the good weather. Here, the sun is shining. At the moment, we are having a drink at a cafe.

It's his turn to cook. He's preparing some salad and hamburgers for our barbecue. I can't wait to see Vancouver's Convention Center.

New York in one day What can you see? What can you do?

I recommend Grand Central. When you walk into this old station, it's like a black and white photograph comingto life. is terminal is busier than the other terminals so watch out for people in a hurry. You can also go jogging or bike-riding in Central Park.

If you like art, then I suggest the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art), the Whitney or the Guggenheim. e Whitney is closer to Central Park and has more works by younger and less-well-known American artists. en have dinner at a restaurant around the livelier Times Square.

If you want the "tourist option", then go to the top of the Empire State Building. It's higher than the Bank of America Tower. en take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

If you like shopping, you can choose the cheaper option and go to Soho, or the more expensive option to Fi h Avenue. en, why not use the subway to see New York's multicultural neighborhoods, Chinatown and Little Italy?

I'm a practical person and, when I don't have a lot of time, I choose a bus tour that stops at every famous monument.It's a cooler and more pleasant option because there's air-conditioning inside.

Humans and apes have a

When an ape stretches o

ut its hand, it is asking fo

r

when we shake hands.

Humans and apes cover t

heir ears with their hand

s

se.

Apes also have huge eyes

Before entering the museum, you receive a Tech Tag. A Tech Tag is something that records your progress on the exhibits. In the museum, there are also a lot of volunteer stations where volunteers explain the exhibits. For the children, there's nothing more
