redleafHello all, a quiet summer let my blogging peter out, but a Fall full of more amusing Canadian situations and circumstances has led me to blog again. I will be typing up some of these stories in the coming weeks, but this post will just be a brief update on the changes in my life since my last post.
Top 10 (C-A related) things that have changed in my life in the last 6 months:
10. I sat in on a class on Canadian - American foreign relations (post to come)
9. I discovered you cannot get oyster crackers in Canada :( :(
8. I got my Ontario drivers license and joined the local car share
7. I have been reading about other parts of Canada and desperately want to travel the country even more now
6. I have decided to reside in Canada for the foreseeable future. Both because I like it and because it is the easiest residential option for my bi-country bi-culture relationship. (perhaps a post on that to come . . . who goes to Canada - a country with millions of potential people - only to fall in love with an Indian? Yeah, that's right, me!)
5. American elections still suck when you are outside of the country - fewer political ads though . . . but I have never had as many people ask me if I voted as I did here.
4. I still don't really appreciate Tim Hortons as much as I should, but since I now work at (sort of) one, I consume a lot of their products now.
3. Having a Santa Claus parade to ring in the holiday season has become normal to me now
2. The local Canadian Tire sells artificial Christmas PALM trees . . .why?
1. I now find myself humming/muttering both the Canadian and American anthems under my breath from time to time - so I must still be utterly preoccupied with this
