Reading your past posts. Very interesting. Even tho I can;t relate to your experiences as I am living (in India) where I was born but I can surely understand all of that. Will read few more...

Awww I always wondered what life was like, moving to a country where you didn't speak the language! I live in Canada to, but unlike you I live in British Colombia, which I'm assuming is far from you live seeing as it doesn't get cold here, it mostly stays the same temperature in Vancouver year round... And btw, your english is perfect now, very good! Are you going to put your kids in English or French immersion at all? I went into late French Immersion which started grade 6, and I just graduated from High School this year (and also started university 2 months ago) and throughout it was a dreadful experience, but now that I have 2 dogwoods (1 english, 1 french) I don't regret it. Uh... yah lol keep writing!! PS. love your take on religion!! Haha it was tres drole. Luv yaH! Kathleeen :mrgreen: haha!!

Funny though, cause from the outside, the USA seems to be a very patriotic place. I wouldn't know even Americans have doubts about their citizenship... but I've heard that before.
