This Christmas, Dec 25th, I went to Niagra Falls with a couple of friends of mine, Jeff and Kevin. The weather wasn't good at all. Before we left my house we spent 15 minutes clearing off the snow over my friend's car.

Nothing interesting happened on our way to the Falls. I thought the Falls would be frozen, but it turned out that they didn't. The water was as great as it is in the summer. Just that when the H2Os flying in the air dropped on our coats, they turned into ice in like seconds. So after walking close to the fall for 15 minutes and taking some pictures, all three of us were all white because we were covered by ice. We were laughing at each other so hard, that Jeff's cell phone dropped on the ground.

The most important thing was to go to the Casino, not to watch the Falls. There's a new Casino called "Fallsview Casino". Someone gave it such a name because people can see the falls when they gamble in the Casino, so there it is, "Fallsview".

I've been to several Casinos in both North America and Europe. Fallsview Casino itself is nothing special, just that I went there with my friends. My personal principle is that I would never gamble, neither in a Casino nor in a card game with friends. But one friend of mine was dying to gamble, and he did. Well as you all know, we are well educated so we wouldn't lose our minds in gambling, so 50$ is the max he would play.

Surprisingly, Jeff won. He was playing Blackjack, Kevin and I were standing behind him watching. I was holding 50$ for Jeff, coz he only had a 100$ bill but he would only lose 50$ before he left. The dealer was kinda bad luck, he bursted 4 times in 10 minutes. That's 25$ for Jeff--well for us, since we didn't have to pay Jeff gas anymore.

Jeff said that it was the first time he left a Casino winning. After losing some 400$ last summer, he went into the game thinking he would lose. But look at what's happened! I think that made him the day!

We thought there would be fireworks in the night, but we were told later that the firework would be on 26th. But anyways, we were having a good time.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone :)
