I am sure you will be helpful to your hosts and they will like you for that. Please develope a Canada Diary and meticulously fill details with pictures, leaflets, newspaper cuttings - every day of your stay there. When you feel bored you can visit the many Public libraries. And never suffer from self-pity.Actually be thankful that you are doing very well - and preparing to make the world happier.
