Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Hello Anat, Sorry your journey didn't go as planned. I have been to Canada many times. I found it to be rather nice but it did depend on where you went to. I've been to Montreal many times and it just reminds me of New York City only a lot cleaner. Now Quebic was wonderful. So clean and quiet. Very historic. Yes it was a tourist attraction but nice to see. I loved it there and do hope to go back one day. We also hit a small town called Three Rivers where we found that almost all the people spoke only French. The food was great and you can get a point across now matter what the lanuage is. From my point of view I loved the parts of Canada I went to. I live in Buffalo for a year once to and went into Canada by the falls and stayed over night there and had a very pleasent time. That is my point of view though. Love to all, Ellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 dear friends i am baCK from my journey to Canada, looking for the promised land, the shangri-la. we stayed there in several cities in the east and west coast. deliberately i did not go to tourist attractions - but traveled as a traveler... trying to sense the place... daily life... the people in the streets. it turned to be a disappiontment. in a way i pitied the people in Toronto. they live rush-rush-rush, go-go-go and their are so busy " doing " , over functioning. i kept asking them where is " being " ? i discovered that life in Israel is better in a way. with all the wars, stupid polititians, high taxes and violence. i felt that the simple human being is more free in Israel. not working so hard, more expressive , more spicy and more direct. there were wonderful places like Victoria and Banff but there i felt some emptiness and i missed the authentic flavor of fruits & vegetables that we have in Israel (from the ground. not freezed for months) it seemed that this journey was TO Jerusalem through Vancouver, Toronto, Banff , Canmore and Victoria. I learned a lot from the Canadians. they have a wonderful attitude to life. in a way, they are not so greedy, very considerate and very grateful for living in CaNADA. - THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SO BLESSED with greenery, water, and amazing views. but i did not feel fit in. i missed the mountains and the breezes of Jerusalem. In a way it is a confusion to me now. i am not sure if these thoughts come from cognitive dissonsance. it's hard to immigraTE so may be it is easier to think that what we have is the best life here. justification. please share your thoughts with me :-) Anat - pine <pine ùáú 18 àåâåñè 2001 21:32 Re: self worth > Mani > > i loved your post concerning self-worth. it is so true and very inspiring. > thank you. > Anat > - > MaxBlack <maxblack > > éåí ùéùé 17 àåâåñè 2001 19:21 > Re: self worth > > > > Good value and enlightening. > > > > Thank for the posting > > > > max > > > > - > > " Carol + John " <caznjohn > > > > Friday, August 17, 2001 9:51 AM > > Re: self worth > > > > > > > Hi all, here is something to ponder about self worth: > > > > > > A well known speaker started off the seminar by holding up a $20 note > > > In the room of 200, he asked, who would like this $20? and nearly all > > hands > > > started to go up. > > > He said, I am going to give this to one of you, but first let me do > this. > > > He proceeded to cruple the bill up.
