1, living in Canada must learn to endure loneliness, when you first came here, you will become self-talking, and the third year will start to talk nonsense, the pace of life in Canada is too slow, inconvenient travel, light human touch, single diet, less entertainment, sparsely populated, homeless people are also quite many, every day here, in addition to homesickness or homesickness!
2, now a considerable number of Canadians can't even take out 500 Canadian dollars in their accounts, push cups at the beginning of the month, drink porridge and lick bowls in the middle of the month, and gasp against the northwest wind at the end of the month, there is no way but to follow the homeless to get the rescue meal, the reality is so cruel! Life in Canada is not as good as we think!
3, travel in Canada, especially in winter, if you don't have your own car, it's really difficult to walk, although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but the fact is: in North America, especially in sparsely populated Canada, public transportation is too underdeveloped, almost everyone has a car.
4, if you want to take a bus in Canada, you must be mentally prepared, really need to rely on fate to sit, wait for the bus in the city center, an average of 25-30 minutes, in the cold wind howling bus stop, will really be frozen out of the nose, if you are waiting for the bus in a residential area, it will even take 40 minutes, the efficiency is too low, the length of waiting time depends on the weather conditions and the mood of the driver, The fare of the city bus is 3.5 Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to 18 yuan, but many times, there are always people who do not invest enough 3.5 Canadian dollars, or lie that they have no change, as long as they talk well, the driver will generously let you ride for free, the driver does not care how much money you invest!
5, take the Canadian bus is slightly different from the country, want to get off, you need to ring the bell in advance, or pull the yellow rope, signal the driver you want to get off at the next stop, because Canadian buses do not have a voice broadcast system, do not report the station at all, what position the car drives, all rely on their own to distinguish, the driver is happiest is that no one gets off the bus, and no one gets on the bus, then he has time to stop and buy coffee, snacks! The passengers who remained in the car could only dry stare and wait for the driver to return and continue on departure!
6, in addition, there may be a chance of giving up seats on the bus, there will be no moral kidnapping here, in addition to the designated pregnant women, baby seats, disabled seats, other seats are ordinary seats, you don't have to worry that there will be elderly or disabled people to ask you to give up your seat, even if you don't let it, no one will accuse you, what kind of people are sitting on what kind of seats, there is no moral kidnapping this saying!
7. If you wait for the bus at the station for too long, you can also check how long the bus can come by texting, the stop sign of each station has a number, send it to the "31100" bus to check it can be found, but it depends on fate!
8, Canadians have a very high car ownership rate, but on the street, most of them are more than ten or twenty years old cars, and even some antique classic cars, the Cadillac in the 80s is still running, there is no annual inspection here, but any safety hazards need to bear the consequences, so you can see too many cars older than my age on the street, these cars can of course be on the road, that is, when waiting for traffic lights, some cars just start, some exhaust pipes are black smoke, some exhaust pipes are blue smoke, In the clouds and fog, can this environment be better? Moreover, when some squeaky old cars are driving on the road, they will drop a part from time to time, which makes people worry. In comparison, I think the regular annual inspection of domestic cars is still very good, so that it can detect whether the vehicle is scrapped and whether there are potential safety hazards, which is responsible for driving safety!
9, eating KFC in Canada is really different from China, KFC here is often sued, it is said that the whole family barrel was removed from the shelves and renamed because there was a person who sued that the family barrel bought home was not enough for a family to eat, and even won the lawsuit, so the Canadian family barrel was forced to be removed from the shelves and renamed "variety buckets", in addition, Canada's KFC menu is really pitiful, in addition to fries is fried chicken, burgers also have only one taste, the taste is well, it is average, but hungry can also eat! McDonald's, on the other hand, is popular here.
10. Some people ridicule: Canada has more traffic lights than people! Haha, although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but seriously, Canada's traffic lights are installed as hard as if they don't want money, a road of less than 1,000 meters, there can be 5 rows of traffic lights, at night when the lights are bright, it makes people dizzy when they see it, red, yellow, green, just like visiting temple fairs, driving in the city center, the gas pedal can be set up, basically waste, a city of 1 million people, can block the feeling of 10 million people!
11, people who have lived in Canada should empathize with this, there are many people who buy things in supermarkets, but there are also many people who return it, often people take daily necessities, food to the counter to return, the reason is strange, but the return success rate is very high, once I witnessed a person take a fish to return, smell is not right, the reason for the return turned out to be that I forgot to eat, and someone came to return toilet paper, the reason is too hard, uncomfortable to use, and with people to return sandwiches, minced meat, the reason is that I didn't finish eating, The strangest thing is that someone takes the shrimp to return, the reason is that there is no shrimp head, this return logic is not convinced, the most bizarre is that someone comes to return the canned herring, the reason is too smelly, smelly you don't buy it, why do you want to return it if you buy it?
12, dumplings this food not only our Chinese people like to eat, Canadians also like to eat, but different from our domestic pork green onion filling, celery filling, cabbage filling, sauerkraut filling, Canadian dumplings can be described as strange, not only different in shape from us, like buns, even the filling is difficult to accept, not full of surprise, or full of shock, spinach cheese filling, potato cheese filling, potato rice filling, cheese wild vegetable filling, cheese potato rainbow filling, walnut melon filling, chicken noodle filling, the price is not cheap, A bag of dumplings filled with chicken noodles costs 14.99 Canadian dollars, equivalent to 77.8 yuan, have you ever eaten dumplings wrapped in noodles? What's even more unacceptable is that we eat dumplings dipped in vinegar and soy sauce, and Canadians dipped in yogurt!
13, living in Canada is the need to use mobile phones, however, the package price here is not only expensive, the signal is also intermittent, the local operating company is divided into small companies and large companies, small companies' signals rely on fate, large companies' signals rely on money, Freedom operators' signals are quite free, there is no signal out of town, let you messy in the wind, traffic 10 GB is 50 Canadian dollars, 30 GB is 115 Canadian dollars, this price is relatively low among all Canadian operators, want a good signal, You have to bear the more expensive price, there is no way, Canada does not have a 5G network, online chat is not easy, let alone play games!
14, Canadian women's three meals a day can be full without firing at all, a meal of bread with sausages, as long as there is water can go down to eat, cooking is not a hobby of Canadian girls, parents have not taught since childhood, so they do not learn, what is in the supermarket to buy, lazy to the extreme, the purpose of Canadian eating is to eat full, we are to eat well, these are two completely different concepts! So, when I showed my local friends in Canada home-cooked dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded spicy meat, and mustache meat, they all wanted to worship me as a teacher, and they wanted to come to my house to rub rice!
15, let's talk about body and appearance, why Canadian men are keen to find an Asian woman as a wife, I asked a Canadian young man, he told me: In most cases, the process of Asian women aging is very elegant, it is difficult to judge a woman's real age from her appearance! And Canadian girls are more envious of us Asians, because they age quickly, once over 30 years old, many girls in Canada begin to lose shape, their faces begin to deform, and our domestic girls are still young and beautiful!
16, speaking of personality, Canadian women are quite independent, they are curious why women should be favored by men? When necessary, we should pamper them! Dirty work is not a problem, roll up your arms and sleeves in person, on the other hand, Canadian men, many are housewives, they can be responsible for looking beautiful as flowers, and their wives are responsible for making money to support the family, truly achieving equality between men and women!
17, in China, the aesthetics of girls must be white skin, beautiful long legs, small arms and thin legs, soft and weak Oriental subtle beauty, but when I came to Canada, I found that the women here are "robust" for beauty, the women in the gym are thicker than one, the figure is called a good, with absolute strength and beauty, dare to fall in love with Canadian women, first of all, compare their body can bear it! Moreover, Canadian women like to bask in the sun very much, tanning is not afraid, sunscreen is redundant, they do not like whitening, but like dark wheat complexion, in the country we praise a girl beautiful will say: this child is white and clean! The same sentence, put in Canada, it is like cursing!
18, young couples in Canada basically bring their own children, because they maintain an absolutely free and independent living space between them and their parents, parents think that they are not obliged to help their children with children, so ah, in a place like Canada, bringing a baby requires talent, no matter where the parents go, the doll must also follow, itself Canada is a cold and freezing place, children have also learned from childhood with their parents to laugh and play in this cold environment, playing wantonly on the frozen lake, Parents are even relieved!
19, Canada's land area is 9.98 million square kilometers, ranked second in the world, but the population is only 38 million, the population is actually small for a reason, their love for ice and snow is really unforgettable, every year to the beginning of the school season, you can see the south to the north, all kinds of crutches, especially this sunshine valley ski resort is Canada's top ski resort, here every winter attracts a lot of ski enthusiasts, sitting on the cable car up, There seems to be a sound in the ears, don't come for the faint of heart, the lifestyle they pursue is not necessarily cool, but it must be very fast! In the ski resort, everyone has to sign a disclaimer, after signing, willful play, has nothing to do with the ski resort, our domestic development of youth sports may be football and basketball, but in Canada, skiing is definitely a popular sport!
20, when the weather is good, Canadians will come out to bask in the sun after eating, their own grass will never grow vegetables and fruits, all are green grass, or flowers and plants, their attitude to life is a word: "enjoy", but Canada is a country with a more serious aging, there are few local young people, many jobs need to rely on the elderly to serve, the average life expectancy is so long, what are you doing? Might as well come out and work! Security guards, postmen, cashiers, flight attendants, waiters can see gray-haired old people, it is worth mentioning Canada's airlines, a ride will definitely make you unforgettable for life, accustomed to seeing young and beautiful flight attendants, a few more glances at the gray-haired grandfather is also very good, at least will not feel visual fatigue!
21, in Canada to be a poor person is difficult, in Canada, for the kind of people who have no work income, bank account deposits of less than 1000 Canadian dollars, can receive social welfare funds, this money is mainly used to solve the problem of diet and housing, to ensure the basic living expenses, the amount of funding varies from region to region, generally speaking: single 500-700 Canadian dollars per month, family of three 1100-1300 Canadian dollars per month, this money monthly term, a lifetime can not find a job, then receive a lifetime! It is really sad and lamencing that there are many people who are too lazy to go to work, just to receive this money every month to live!
22. In addition, Canada has many benefits, such as unemployment benefits (56% of the original salary), milk benefits, pensions, childcare subsidies, income security allowances, spouse allowances, pregnancy and childcare allowances, sickness allowances, etc., basically, a Canadian from birth to death, there are a variety of different welfare systems waiting for him!
23, it is worth mentioning that Canadian women's allowance in childbirth is very attractive, expectant mothers start to take maternity leave 12 weeks before childbirth, a total of 17 weeks of maternity leave and 40 weeks of parental leave, calculate how many days they count, can receive 55% of the original salary allowance in a year, and the child's father can also enjoy up to 40 weeks of parental leave!

27. In China, villas that rich people can afford to live in are everywhere in Canada, and the facilities are comfortable and practical, with air conditioning in summer, heating in winter, garages for cars, and places to store garbage.

If there is a problem with the road, maybe you don't need to call, and police cars, trucks, and ambulances will arrive at the scene in the shortest possible time.
30. Taking Toronto as an example, to the south is the world's famous Niagara Falls, to the east is the scenic Qiandao Lake, and to the northeast is the vast Algonquin National Nature Reserve Park.
