Why I am happy to be back in Canada

 Let me list the reasons that I can think of, off the top of my head, that I happy to be back in Canada:

• I can look after my mother.
• I can experience winter.
• My son can truly become Canadian by experiencing a Canadian winter.
• I can meet old friends.
• I can hear English spoken wherever I go.
• I can see a hockey game.
• I don't need a VPN to access the internet.  For instance, I can actually make this blog entry on my computer.  And there are lots of other things I can now do on my laptop that I couldn't do before.
• I have many more ways in which I can make money.
• I can find products in stores that I couldn't find in China.
• I don't get called "laowai" when I walk in public.
• The bread is better in Canada than in China.
• The sky is bigger and I can see the horizon.

This list is not exhaustive.  As I said, it was made off the top of my head. I may add reasons to this list when they come to me.

And there are reasons why I am not happy to be back in Canada, but these will be listed in a future entry.
