Banff is the first national park in Canada. I know Banff from the premier of Beyond the Arctic. Canada is not a mountainous country, but Rocky mountains are spectacular enough. The park is about an hour and half driving distance from Calgary. In the big country, people have different feelings of distance. One hour driving is far for Taiwanese, but not for Canadian. It seems they drive to the park quite often. The Banff Mountain Film Festival also shows their love of mountain. Although not a lot of people live around the mountain, mountain is still a good represent image of this country. And I believe that Canadians agree that.

班夫是加拿大第一個國家公園,離卡加利約一個半小時的車程。我是在去年去看征服北極的校園特映會。加拿大並不是一個多山的國家,但是單落磯山脈就夠壯觀了。臺灣雖然小,但是也造就我們的距離感比較小,開車一個小時就已經算遠了。其實我們離山岳很近,有機會應該多多去走走,享受島國山與海的自然風光。
