Mika and her family stepped off the plane and stepped into the airport. They were in Toronto, Ontario. Mika looked around she didn't expect Canada to look like this. She peeked out the window and saw the shinning sun. She thought Canada would have snow. "So this is Canada"? Mika asked. "Mika"! Her mom called. "Coming"! Mika said walking over to her mother and sister.
Once everyone got their luggage the car was their waiting for them outside. They drove off to their new house. Once they drove up to their drive way. The girls looked shocked and amazed about how big there new house looks. "Come on you to". Their mom said. Mika and Ellen got out of the car eager to see what their new house looks like inside. Once Mika stepped inside she was speechless. It was big and lovely. It's bigger then there old rundown apartment back in Pyongyang and much nicer to.
"Wow it's beautiful". Mika said amazed. "Is this a mansion"? Ellen asked. "Oh no there much bigger and a lot more fancier then this". Mika said. "Mika"? Ellen asked. "Yeah"? She said. "Why isn't there any snow? I thought North America was supposed to have snow". Ellen said. "Only in the winter but in some parts it snows all the time". Mika said. Ellen was speechless. How could there be snow all the time?
The idea to her just sounded crazy. "Really"? Ellen asked in surprise. Mika grinned at her little sister. "Mika! Ellen! Can you help with bringing in furniture"?! Their mom called out. "Okay"! They both said. The moving vans have come with the furniture for the new house. After a couple of hours of moving heavy and back breaking furniture all 3 of them were tired and hungry. Since mom is too tired to cook anything they decided to go out for pizza.
Mika has never been out to dinner before. French fries and hamburgers weren't rare in North Korea. There was even a fast food joint back in Pyongyang but Mika's mother was very strict about eating greasy junk food. So for Mika this felt very different. They arrived at a pizza parlor called 'Classic Way Pizza'. Mika and family sat a window booth. Mika looked around at the scenery.
"It feels really weird eating out". Mika said looking around. "But it sure is fun"! Ellen said all excited. "This should be an interesting dining experience". Mom said. "Mommy how come we never go out to eat back home"? Ellen asked. "The thought of it just sounds pointless". Their mom said. "But why"? Ellen asked. "Mom doesn't want us to be fat pigs". Mika grinned. "Mika"! Their mother snapped. "I just think that the thought of going somewhere else for sharing a meal with family and friends just seems like a waste of time. However since we are in a new country we can do every once in a while". Their mother said.
When they ordered drinks Mika and Ellen got soda's while mom got an ice tea. Ellen got a grape soda while Mika got an orange soda. Every time Mika takes a sip of the sweet orangey substance she gets tingled at the ice cold bubbly fizzy liquid that touches her lips and tongue. The last time Mika had tried soda she was 6-years-old and it was cola.
She loved it so much she loved the sweet fizzy bubbles. Her father had got it for her. Mika begin to feel sad a little inside thinking about her dad. "Mika"? Her mom asked. "Yes"? Mika asked snapping back to reality. "Are you alright"? She asked. "Yeah I'm cool I was just thinking about…something". Mika said. "Was it your father"? She asked. Mika nodded her head sadly. "Don't be sad he would want us to be happy". She smiled trying to cheer up her sad daughter. "Yeah sissy don't be sad be happy"! Ellen said trying to cheer her big sister up. Mika smiled at both of them. "Hey look our food's here". Mika said. A large tray of cheese and pepperoni pizza was placed on the table steaming hot. Ellen looked confused. "What's this"? Ellen asked. "It's pizza". Mika said. "It's kinda messy". Ellen said.
"Pizza's supposed to be really good it originated from Italy later it came to North America and the U.S. but be careful it's really hot". Mika said. Ellen blew on her slice to cool it down. Once Ellen took a bite of the cheese pizza she fell in love with it. "I like it"! Ellen smiled.
Mika and her family scarfed the pizzas on the tray. They seem to really like it. After Mika's mother paid the bill they went back home. It was time for bed next Monday Mika and Ellen start school. Mika starts the 10th grade and Ellen starts the 4th grade. Back in North Korea their mother home schooled them. She didn't want to send them to a brain washing school that teaches you to worship the all mighty leader.
But this time was different they were in Canada now they can do whatever they wanted. They were happy they were free.
