Canada is the poster child of immigration. In my experience a large number of Canadians are ignorant and uninformed about immigration and therefore immigrants.

Reflecting on the experience of going to Canada for the first time‚ it seemed similar to most American cities that I have been to‚ until we got to Parliament Hill‚ but what I was especially interested in was what happened once we were inside the House of Commons. At first glance the House of Commons seems more like a comedy show‚ but there is a deeper meaning behind the genius political ploy that impacts Canadians. Walking from the bus to the bathroom the city of Ottawa did not strike me as largely

When asked of my most memorable moment in my life‚ it would be my trip to Penang. This is especially memorable because this is the first Penang trip with my family. This would be a perfect getaway for my hectic life in school. Furthermore‚ I have always wondered if the Penang food is as scrumptious as its fame for it.
