Yon nouvo kay & Seafood Twò

lobster_fishing_boatsNon mwen se Jian ak mwen rive nan Kanada nan mwa Out nan 2010 ak fanmi mwen. Saint John te sispann premye nou yo ak nou pa t 'konnen ki kote yo rezoud ak ki kote se lakay nou nouvo nan tan sa a. Apre yon semèn rete nan Saint John, nou te deside rezoud isit la. Gen anpil bagay nan rezon pou nou fè desizyon sa a, ki gen ladan:

 

1) Moun ki nan Saint John yo trè zanmitay, espesyalman nan fèk vini.

2) Gen pa lou trafik isit la epi ou gen mwens chans rankontre lou trafik.

3) Klima a isit la se pi bon pase nenpòt lòt lavil yo nan NB.

4) Ou ka manje manje ki pi plis fre lanmè paske li se Seaside vil la.

De tout fason, Moun yo zanmitay se rezon ki fè ki pi enpòtan pou nou viv isit la. Apre de jou,’ kay lachas, nou te achte kay nou yo. Anpil nan zanmi rele ke nou te fè yon desizyon fou men nou pa janm regrèt desizyon nou an. Nou ap viv yon lavi bon isit la ak pitit fi mwen renmen lekòl la anpil. Se vre wi nou eseye manje lanmè diferan trè souvan.

Sa a se istwa kout mwen. Malgre li se pa enteresan, li se reyèlman vre.

Nan 1964 mari m ', 4-year-old son and I emigrated from Scotland to small town Ontario – Orillia, Stephen Leacock’s Mariposa. We were readily assimilated into the mainly white Caucasian population, many being second and third generation descendants of early settlers. It was an easy transition for us moving from one country to another. We were accepted and made welcome as there were several immigrant families from England and Scotland living there already along with a small, well established Italian community.

It was not the norm for aIl newcomers.

Nan 1967 I saw a young Asian couple with a little boy carrying their laundry to a nearby laundromat and commented to my husband on how strange and lonely it must be for them as they were the only Asian family in our small town. Kontinye lekti →
