First Impression | Written by 【 Uniquely XC™ 】
After staying in the city for about 2 days, it is time for first impressions. Canada is nothing like singapore, firstly, it is extremely big. If you dont have an idea how big it is, let me use this example,Normally a 5 hours flight from Singapore would get you to Shanghai, or Beijing, in canada, a 5 hours flight would still end up being a domestic flight. This is how big the whole country is.
The people here are very nice, always service with a smile : ) No prejudice against other races as well, everyone is being treated as equal.
Life here is also very different from other people, although there are pavement alongside all of the roads, very little people actually use them. everyone here owns cars and it is not uncommon to see a bungalow with 4 cars parked in front of it. The only places where you will find people is in the malls, which is just about what you will find in Singapore. Food courts take a new meaning in Canada, what you get is stalls normally associated with fast food restaurants in singapore, such as Subway, Taco Bell, A & W, what you do is buy from any of these stalls and more and then sit down and eat at an open area, where there are tables and chairs. Something like a giant fast food, restaurant, albeit with much more choices.
Someone is coming to pick us up with 2 cars tomorrow and on Sunday, we are going to the niagara falls
