::Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada::
::Author::  Name::Andrea From::Small city/town, B.C., Canada I am a short girl from the west cost of BC, Canada and I am a proud Canadian. I went to Japan in 2000 because my Dad told me I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't. He was right. I lived a good life found my husband from the other side of the world and have a beautiful daughter. Basically we lead a pretty normal life filled with normal ups and downs. We both come from different cultures: me Canadian, him Chinese. Living in Japan was a real eye opener about who I am and about the people I associate myself with. I lived and loved in Japan but the time to move on came upon us and in May of 2006 we left and moved to Canada: a huge move for us all. We are now trying to start up again, remodel our lives and create our future for our family. I now feel like a tourist in the country of my birth, my eyes see different and my life will be forever changed. This blog is my notes and observations of our life, our changes, our adventures and new beginnings. Welcome. View my complete

Saturday, July 01, 2006 Canada Day 2006! Happy Birthday Canada!! YAAA!! Today is Canada Day and the weather was perfect in every way – warm, clear blue skies with a lovely breeze blowing through. In the past I used to spend this day riding or putting around the farm. I never really joined in any festivities around town. Now that I am back and have a daughter and a husband who has never experienced anything over here I am making a real effort to do things, see things and experience things. I am really glad I have decided to do this. Today we headed out to Heritage Park; the fair grounds in this town, to check out the Little Britches Rodeo, the chili cook off and bring ToddlerJi for her very first pony ride. Weird I know, we are a horse farm but she has never ridden yet – all our horses are far too large and unsafe for her at the moment. These pony-ride ponies were perfect height.

We had a pretty decent lunch at the hotel and then Li went parasailing. Wahoo!! He had no idea what hit him.

Then we went for a drive before returning home, having dinner and watching TV.
