For my next holidays, I organised myself very well! First of all, I looked for a return ticket (US: round-trip ticket) to go to Ottawa, in Canada. I used a price comparison website, which enabled me to find the cheapest plane tickets. As a result, I'll go over there from the twelfth to the twenty-second of July to attend the ice hockey world championships. I will also spend three days in Montreal, where I'll sleep at some French-Canadian friends' house. They'll show me around this bilingual city that I don't know yet. I think that we'll walk a lot, as always when you visit a new place. It will be an unforgettable experience!
