Sorry, I lost my concentration. I was writing my Canadian-ism series and suddenly got hungry. And there I am, one hand on the keyboard, the other one holding a small maple syrup candy. Sweet as hell, I’m high on sugar. Alright, let me see… [...] [...] Weather, hockey, bilingualism, hugeness… what was I saying already? Sorry, I lost my concentration.

With the exception may be when in the Osoyos (BC) area - with it's more or less desert climate. We did visit BC the summer of 2006 and went by Canada 3 from Vancouver to Glacier NP. What a change in climate and landscape. Very interesting – it seems Canadiens and Norwegians are likely talking about the unpredectible weather.

In 1535 Cartier (on his second tour of duty) and his crew spent their first winter in what is now Quebec City. Most of his crew died of scurvy. Thankfully you have faired better. I hope that you do not take to Cartier’s bad habits of kidnapping the local inhabitants (of Ottawa) to take back to France. If you do, start with Federal politicians. BB Zhu,

That's a lotta people piling into a not THAT populous country... not that populous compared to the "great" US of A I suppose... then again you ARE 30,000,000 which is half the 60,000,000 of Britain so not THAT little! Talking of Chinese cooking: you don't happen to know a good blackbean sauce recipe do you? Or one you can point me to? Also even more to the point as I've really been seeking this one out with scant success: I'm desperate for a recipe for Chinese curry sauce. You know what I mean? It's NOTHING like Indian curry and you could not make it with garam masala or anything like that... Neither would 5-spice do. Though I've been told Star Anise is the "secret" ingredient in it... I once had curry at a Japanese restaurant and their sauce was the same as Chinese curry sauce... I am desperate for a good reliable recipe for this... have you any ideas? Your assistance would be MUCH appreciated! Many thanks ;-] Gleds Hey Zhu!

That's cool -- I feel famous country wide now! :lol: <strong>Tiffany</strong>: it's an experience though. A lot of people like to see the cold cold weather and the inches of snow. Yet, I understand you...! <strong>RennyBA</strong>: I know! The more I read about Norway, the more I see the similarities! Funny, eh! <strong>Graham</strong>: must be a British trend then. No one cares about the weather in France, and the forecast is never ever accurate. <strong>Johnada</strong>: We like to make fun of Toronto for a lot of things when you think of it... hockey, you calling the army each time you get more than 10 cm of snow, the crime thing... thanks for making us laugh! :lol: <strong>Linguist-In-Waiting</strong>: You can apply for citizenship after 3 years of Permanent Residence. If you were living in Canada before you got the Permanent Residence (i.e student visa, work visa), these days count as half a day. That's my case... I've been in Canada since 2002, but on tourist, then on a temp. work visa. I only got the PR in 2005, that's why I'm applying so late ;-) Takes about a year to be processed. <strong>Alexander</strong>: thank you! <strong>Spyder</strong>: thanks for the tips! Beau Dommage is quite famous (or was) in France, we learned a couple of songs from them back in elementary school. <strong>Jay Cam</strong>: I understand. But this of it this way: no hurricanes here... <strong>Pelf</strong>: cool! Canada is a nice place, hope you get a chance to come here! <strong>Ghosty</strong>: :lol: exactly that! Although believe me or not, but this season is a mix of winter/ construction! <strong>Froogiewoogie</strong>: ouch, I felt that tag! :lol: Okay, okay, I'll do it for you, frog! I will keep my French citizenship as well, just for the sake of all the open door in the EU. Plus, who knows, maybe the left-wing will win the next election? ;-) <strong>Chrissie</strong>: happy new year girl! No worries about the blog visiting, we are all very busy, I know that! I heard before that taking shoes off was very Canadian, but we do it in Europe too... ;-) And thanks for the praise too! Saskboy: eh, a blogger from Regina!

That is awesome! Isn't it funny how we also ALWAYS say "cold enough for ya, eh?" that always cracks me up when someone says that. Here's another Canadian thing....was in New Orleans visiting recently, and stayed at my man friends house. He was like, "did you know you forgot your shoes at the door?" lol Sorry I havent been around much, but your blog looks AWESOME.
