I'M GOING TO BE CANADIAN SOON!!!

actually, I live in Vancouver which the population of Chinese is A LOT so I'm actually adapting quite well.

OH Hongcouver! Good for you. Grown webbed feet yet?

@hippyjoe1955: Hongcouver 😂
what's webbed feet?

the kind of feet ducks have. It helps them swim. With all the rain Hongcouver gets they come in handy.

@hippyjoe1955: LOL 😂 nope. although it might come in handy 😂

Yeah we don't have much use for webbed feet here. but the kids are born with ice skates on. They don't call this place Icemonton for no reason.

@hippyjoe1955: lol 😂 I probably should learn how to skate 🤔 I only know how to do the rollar ones but not the ice ones.

If you can roller blade you can ice skate. How long have you been in Canada?

@hippyjoe1955: around 3 months

Wow good for you. Are you from mainland China?

@hippyjoe1955: yeah. ShangHai.

Neat. Our neighbours are from Beijing.

@hippyjoe1955: Beijing is quite nice I've lived there for a while. but the pollution is very bad there.

Ha ha yeah that is what they said too. Kind of like Hongcouver. It is really nice when it stops raining - which it never does.

@hippyjoe1955: why do you call it Hongcouver? 😂

Because Vancouver used to be a very 'white' city. Then when Britain gave up Hong Kong there was a mass immigration of Chinese and Chinese money. Many of the resident whites sold their houses and moved away feeling very rich.

@hippyjoe1955: ohhh. 😂 that's a good name.

West Vancouver used to say that the nice part of being West Van was never having to say you are Surrey.

@hippyjoe1955: LMAO 😂 all these things they're came up with...

Heh heh heh Yeah I had an employee that sold a home in West Van to a Chinese family and moved to Icemonton. He was a real comedian and told me all those names.

@hippyjoe1955: 😂 he's REALLY talented. 😂

And wealthy. He said his Dad bought the house for $20,0000.00. My friend sold it for a million 40 years later.

@hippyjoe1955: the house prices are raising like crazy.

Yeah they are. That is one of the reasons my neighbours moved from Hongcouver. They could buy a much more reasonably priced home and raise a family. Their first baby was born in October. I have a pair of skates for him.

@hippyjoe1955: LOL skates 😂 I really need to go skating sometime...
