Multiculturalism (7/10)
Canada: a population of 32 millions… and we are all different. Isn’t it nice?
Sweet Tooth (5/10)
Yes, Canadian treats. Good. Sweet stuffs to help us survive harsh winter. Just have a look at that!
Winterlude (Or Having Fun In The Cold)

Let me put in simply. I’m French. And I’m a lousy cook.

The Tipping Dilemma
So, 15% of $30… is…
No, I’m not calculating my Adsense revenues (that would be easy: $1 + 0.50¢ = $1.50… last time I checked!). I’m experiencing tipping-related stress. Don’t laugh: it’s common.
