This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

It seems that many Chinese immigrants in Montreal are not ready for the oftentimes challenging Canadian job market.
Some of them tried, and then capitulated to depaneurs and restaurants.

It seems that I repetitively look up the exact meanings of "get ahead" and "taint".
It's lucky that I still haven't lost my mind during the very long journey of beefing up my English vocabulary. I'm a sanctimonious learner of the English language. :-)

Caillou and Rosie
Caillou shows Rosie how to make (sand) towers.-Excerpted from p. 117 of the children book Caillou: My Book of Great Adventures
"Look, Rosie," he says. "You take the pail and go like this."
Rosie giggles and claps her hands.
Sandcastles are the most fun of all!
How well written.

Immigrants are different than migrants.
The latter word is used often in the ongoing refugee crisis.
