Andito na ako. Finally. Actually two days ago pa, kaso wala kasing internet sa bahay nang auntie ko kaya ngayon lang ako naka blog. Pero yea, just wanna take a moment (in between the endless paperwork and moving that I need to do) to say na I am now officially a Canadian immigrant!! woot woot! ^_^
Nakakaloko dito. Metric system yung gamit. Malamang kelangan kong magdala nang kodigo para sa conversion. Like one time tinanong ko yung custom's agent kung gano kalayo yung currency converter nila... and she was like "miles what...?" Ang taray pa naman nya.
Other differences... they sell milk in bags here so kelangan may pichel ka para sa gatas. And they have two dollar coins (called "two-nies") so bibigat bulsa mo pag sinuklian ka. Also when I'm driving I'm required to open my headlights even tho its daytime. (Pedestrians are also more of le "j-walker" types) Tax rates and car insurance rates are also jacked up. (i can tell this is gonna hurt me in the future) Other commodities are generally the same as the U.S.
These are just a few differences that I noticed. I'm sure there's more to follow.
Pero other than that, everything else is just like the U.S. Ayus lang naman. Marami ring iba ibang lahi tulad nang Cali. In fact, there are certain parts in the city that are just like S.F. (parang yung sa mission district Dani)
I'll post more pics and blogs later on pag may internet na sa bahay. Nakikigamit lang kasi ako ngayon sa mga pinsan ko. hehe.
Chrisssssss! glad to know you got there safe. Medyo nag-isip nga ako kung nakarating ka ba dyan, pero naisip ko baka wala ka lang internet. so officially canadian ka na... :( sad, kasi gusto ko dito ka na lang!!! anyway, we miss you a lot here, especially since PNE's coming soon, but I'm also glad ur settling your way into the canadian lifestyle. good luck sa iyo diyan! hope to catch you online sometime.
p.s. i like the milk in bags comment. and i love how you mentioned me :) miss you!!!
dude mag-bake ka ng chocolate chip cookies... madali lang yun, tas pag bagong luto yung mainit init pa, yun, dun mo lagyan ng vanilla ice cream. walang magagawa ang pag-m-microwave ng chips ahoy!
