After saying goodbye to our friends from the AYApril class in December, it’s now time to welcome all the new AY January Students: “Welcome!!! Welcome to the EF-Vancouver Jungle!” Of course you all had some nice introductions by the school director, some teachers, the police, more teachers, etc. All very interesting, but what you really want is to get to know more students, explore Vancouver, get lost in the mountains of BC, find out where the best restaurants are, what the cheapest pub is, where you can go on your holidays, and what to do on the weekends. You want to learn more about the cultures of other students, learn about Canadian culture, learn some English and have a splendid time here in Vancouver. Well, you can find it all in one place, not in Downtown, not on TV, not in your schoolbooks, but here, in the EF INSIDER. Made by students, made for students. This on-line newspaper will give you all the information you need, and will try to help you as a new student in the jungle of EF-Vancouver. This can be the best time of your life with relaxed people, a wonderful city and an amazing nature! Try to enjoy as much as you can, because the time will fly by (FAST!) So from all students here in Vancouver: Welcome, and enjoy your flight… I mean stay!
