In Victoria I could meet awesome people. I was surprised that they were so kind and friendly. When I met people they always greeted with smiles. It made me happy. I'm sure that Victoria has the kindest and friendliest culture in the world!

At the ELC I learned not only English but I learned how to be responsible about a group of people, how to make decisions, and how to manage my time.
