Living in Canada…?
I do not think I would go out of my way to live in Canada. From the information I have read Canada is far off from being Americanized.
I don’t like adjusting to new situations or environments. I would do anything to avoid the awkward situations accompanied by relocation.
Where would I prefer to live… Australia seems like the place for me. Sometimes I forget that Australia even
exist, which makes me believe that other people forget it exist too. Hence my idea that very little people would bother me in a country they forgot existed.
