* Dear Sir/Madam, I am an exchange student (and i am living here for 4 months)from holland and i am a keen birder. I am in Waterloo right now and I had a great time birding and travelling thru Ontario. I went birding to quit a few places already. This weekend I went to Point Pelee, but it (because i do not have a car) was quit hard (i had to take the
bus to windsor and than i had to hitch hike to a camping near the park and walk to the park and walk to all the hotspots, so it took me quit some time). Do you now anybody who i can ask, who leaves near Waterloo (or for instant Toronto), to take me birding or give me i ride when they go birding (i can try to get to them with public transsport). Or do you know a good place for migrants where i can go with public transport? Thank you very much in advance.
