I really loved Canada!

by Asmaa AlYousef
(Kuwait City)

Before going there, I thought it would be cold, the people are not friendly and I'd hate it overall because of what I heard about the deadly cold weather.

I went there in August, so yes I promise there is a summer in Canada! it was HOT, not really really hot but enough for a fan to be necessary.
It was warmer than I thought it would be, especially that I came from a very hot country (Kuwait) but i coped fine with it, liked the lovely breeze in the evenings.

That was in Vancouver though. I'd definitely love to live there. It is one of the most interesting cities I've ever seen. Have a look at this time-lapse video of the city.




I heard its snowing there these days. I think people are coping just fine with the 2 degrees, here in Kuwait its the same or even colder but of course minus the snow. We enjoy the cold with a nice hot cup of coffee and making sure the heater is plugged in. :)

Barry's Response - Very Good Asmaa:

Anywhere in Canada is worth a visit in the summer. In fact I've not been to every province yet.

2° Celsius and snow in winter in Vancouver is one thing. -25° on the windy prairies is yet another. Experience it sometime.

Thank you for your input.
