闲话篇之胡言乱语
Hi,
Congratulation to hell.
Sorry, I didn't mean it, this is exactly what my classmate wrote to me when I told them I got the visa. In some sense it is true, for some people of course. It is often said that one man's meat is another man's poison. So one man's heaven may turn out to other man's hell similarly.
We all judge our outside world with our brain based on the data collected by our organ of sense. The primary organ of sense is our eyes and ears. However, we are watching the same world and listening to the same evironment, our brains may give completely different judgement. It all depends on yourselves to make judgement. All other people just supply you with some information which they regard importantly.
Therefore, I am not giving out my suggestions, but my experience for your reference only.
1. Don't expect too much and don't underestimate too much.
It is quite good to live in most of places if you have enough money. And it is not so easy to live in most of places on earth if you don't have too much money. For common immigrants, money is always in short. Many people just begin to balance their income and expense 6months after landing.
2. If you expect to do a similar job in Canada as you did in China. Try to think it is only an exception at first stage.
3. Try not to think that coming to a place is a victory or somewhat, try to think it is a new beginning.
4. You will forget the big difference of Canadian dollar and RMB sooner or later.
5. Buy a piece of warm clothes and a good pair of boots. However, you may find out after 2 years that it is all unnecessary since you can buy all them here in Canada.
6. Setup a life goal and evaluate it by the highest standard and the lowest one. After two years, recall this and test this. And do what you already decided two years ago.
7. Go often to visit website:

to get some fun if you feel boring or what.
8. Do not believe in any of above except no. 7.
9. Do trust all above except no. 8.
10. It is your choice to believe or not any of these bullshit.
跟你开个玩笑， 别介意。

hi,
As long as I know,
1. your finacee cannot go along with you now as you have to apply for family re-union which may last for half year to one year. Actually when I stayed in Toronto last year, my roommate is a guy from Beijing. And his wife is waiting for this family re-union for more than half year in Beijing. Even after almost half year when I left Toronto, I asked him when chatting, it seems her admission is not approved. So, I guess that in some cases it may last for nearly one year though by regulation it should be within half year before. But who knows what will happen after 911.
2. It always depends on deciding which city is better when you compare Toronto and Montreal. Some people said that if you are rich, stay in Vancouver, if you have some money, stay in Toronto, if you are poor, go to Montreal. It gives you some hints. It is said that in Toronto chinese can find some place to work if you are lucky or you have some talent. If you want to study in school , maybe Montreal is better as you can get some bursary from Quebec government. You know, in Toronto if you don't work it is meaningless to stay there. However, if you are determined to try to find a job, stay there is a better solution.
3. So, in all word it all depends on what you want to do here and what you can do here. And all answer should be discovered by yourself. As it is said in film "Matrix": there is a big difference between knowing the path and really walking through it.
have a nice day.

I was shocked to see the real poverty in Canada
Today I came back from my first farm work in Canada and I swear never, ever to go to again. For many years of travelling in
China, I thought my heart has been hardened enough to endure the sight of misery of miserable people. However, it turns out
to be not the case. I was shocked to see the real miserable life side of Canada. It is not those co-called artists who play for
coins in Metro, many of them simply enjoy the life style and feel proud of it. comparing with 12 hours in hot sun burning
in onion fields, it means nothing but leisure. People in farm struggle for all their strength to earn one cup of orange juice by
picking up 3600 pieces of onions in fields, in dust, desperately.
