Great by living together

I didn't expect to find Canada

Sometimes life surprise us. Me, a graduate student, was suddenly take by a opportunity to be abroad for the first time in a totally unknown country. Only twenty, I had a chance to study english and explore the big Toronto - CA for almost 3 months. That time I was with a very kind filipine family and i had an extra learn because I had contact with canadian and filipine culture in the same time. I strong remember of their diferent kind of food, the striking sauce and flavour, like the bittersweet meat I ate someday. The whole city is a explosion of different ethinic groups and we see it walk around by the many litle countries in there. Little italy, little greece, Chinatown are some of than. The town is always buzzing what to expect about a business city? People goes and come all the time and at the same time they are parading their multiples religions, tipical chothes and acessories even when covered with coats to protect against cold. Diverse people colors, heights, weigths, thinking, all of that encanted me on my trip and make me realise that does not matter for a great living together. This is what I most loved about this beautiful, lovely and receptive country called Canada.
