Toronto Reference Library 1 The Picture

 I went into the Toronto Reference Library. Wow! There was a huge picture in front of me. This was the picture of red and white-----white bookshelves and red carpets in bright light. Two tan sightseeing elevators which were busy up and down and green plants scattered everywhere made the picture even more colourful.

IEP CONFERENCE

Although I did not attend IEP but I have read some blogs which my classmate wrote about the conference. Mehran rezvanl said the conference was regarded as one of the most innovative and respectful events for international educated professional newcomers finding their jobs.  Salim Shamal, as he wrote, arrived there very early, he got a lot of flyers and heard so much about Marketing and Advertising, related professions section of Engineering, he said there were jobs opportunities in Alberta especially Calgary. I guessed he wanted to go to Calgary maybe.  Anyhow, I have known some about IEP conference from their blogs.
                         Thanks my classmates and my teacher Joseph Ng!
