I developed a new theory.
Canada is a capitalist developed country, with plenty of goods available, a reasonably efficient and non-corrupt administration and businesses are quite customers-oriented. However, all this change the minute you step foot on the university campus.
I kept my promise: I wanted some changes in my life and I have slowly been working on that.
I had decided to attend university again. What can I say, I like studying.
But of course, it wasn’t that simple…
Remic Rapids, on the Ottawa River, is home to an original artistic project: the “art of balance”, by local artist John Ceprano.
Every year, John creates beautiful sculptures, placing stones one of top of the other. They are similar to the traditional Inuit symbols: the inukshuks. And every year, as the water rises and winter begins, the ice naturally dismantles the art.
I occasionally miss not speaking English fluently. Trust me, life was a lot of fun when I could only understand half of what people were saying. My mind was working fast, perpetually trying to make sense of things. Could that be that?
Two weeks ago, I completed what I hope is my last paperworks for a while. But it was worth it: today, I picked my Canadian passport up!
Applying for a Canadian passport is not that easy though: references, guarantors… what is that??
A while ago, I was invited by The Writer to talk about Canadian food I like…or hate.
This was actually hard. Canada is such a multicultural country, we all tend to eat ethnic food. I could list Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese dishes I loved or hate, but Canadian? I needed to think. Overall, the food here is quite straightforward. No insects, no blood sausage, nothing too weird. Yet, I have my pet peeves!
