Homecoming
Ok, so it took me two days to finally get up and do something. I’m used to flying between Shanghai and Beijing or Shanghai and Hong Kong. They are only 2 hour flights, so the 15 hour flight to Toronto was brutal. I’m still getting over jetlag and it took me 2 days to just be able to not sleep before 7pm in Toronto.
Flying back, I decided to fly Cathay Pacific, taking recommendation from my ex, she was so right. I can’t imagine flying on Air Canada, the service, the plane would be unbearable. I dread my flight back to SH on AC. I like the long hauls much better now though, everyone has their own on demand entertainment. I managed to catch 8 episodes of 30 Rock, and a few Everybody Hates Chris. Tina Fey is one hot mama.
But now I’m back in Toronto, here for a few days. Then thinking of Vancouver, and then NYC before I head back to Toronto. It seems I’m more busy here than I am in SH?
One thing that I did notice coming back though, after living in China for 7 years, is that everything seems bigger here in Canada. Everything is bigger. The food portions are a lot bigger, the streets are wider, people are taller (and fatter), my fridge is bigger, our apartment is bigger, even the snowflakes are bigger.
Anyways, I also wanted to do some volunteer work here… I don’t know if anyone still reads this, but if you do, let me know if you have any suggestions.
