Language Experience
Andrea: When I came to Canada, I didn't have difficulties with the language because I'm fluent in English. But I did have a few words I needed to get used to. Here's my brief list....
Canteen --> Cafeteria
$1 coin --> Loonie
$2 coin --> Toonie
Not to mention, the "eh?" at the end of sentences!

Food Experience
Andrea: My first time eating poutine was interesting... French fries with gravy did not make sense to me because I didn't like my fries soggy.. but the melted cheese with the gravy was great!
Then I went to Montreal... SO GOOD. You should really try their poutine. The ones in Toronto are good but the ones in Montreal are much more delicious! Try 'La Banquise'. It's famous!
Food Experience
Arush: Well I got to try food from all over the world at one place, thanks to multicultural society of Canada :)
Andrea: Any particular one you really liked?
Arush: 'Sushi' I am not sure if I am spelling it correctly :)
