Volunteering and Bike commuting.

I am currently volunteering at the St.Elizabeth Elementary School near the Carling Avenue as an assistant to the teacher in an international language summer program for aged 6-7 (Junior Kindergarden to First grader). It's only been a short time but I could already tell my popularity in the class is going rocketing high; I frequently become a tree for them to crawl upon and often become a guest whose invited to a tea party or whatever they wanted me to be :). It's very fresh experience to be with these children who aren't exposed to mature values and have different world of their own.

Thankfully, the location of the school is close to a bike pathway, so I started to cycle everyday as a commuting method. The three things I realized are that: there is a lot of bike commuters who head downtown in the morning, which proves that bike can be a good method of transportation, but it really sucks to bike if there is no path (I'm really afraid to ride on a busy road...). Back and forth to my destination is about 16km and I think it's a pretty good exercise.
