It is usually silent in snowy days because snow has a character of absorbing noise. However, it was very noisy all day long today. My room is facing towards a small park on the bank of False Creek and it provides a very good slope for sledding. Lots of people were enjoying sleds from morning until night. They were sledding so many times that the slope was stripped of the thick snow here and there. Anyway, I think Canadian people are very good at playing with simple games such as Frisbee, Hacky Sack, Roller Blades and sleds. They were competing how far they can slide down the hill without rowing. That's the only rule and furthermore, most of them were using a piece of cardboard or plastic garbage bag instead of a real sled. What an enjoyable and reasonable amusement!
