i'll definitely heed your advice, littlestream. minus 40 is no
joke! its a good thing then that the heating systems up there are
great and everywhere indoors is more or less heated in winter.
here, even in winter the air-conditioning is still on in the buses
or at the malls, etc. i know a norwegian guy who says he feels more
cold here than in his hometown because of this.
i know its still a year to go before i graduate, but no harm
researching now. i'm more or less set on toronto and ryerson, or an
aiesec exchange but i shouldn't get OVERLY excited just yet. it's
nice to know that there are fellow singaporeans up north! and i
appreciate all the information you guys are giving me. brought me
back down to earth to really think this through.
vancouver has supposingly mild winter but when i was getting
ready to move there from toronto, my torontonians friends told me
"oh, you don't need your winter jackets." crap, the fall was
so chilly cold because it was so wet and damp. i was like
"who said i don't need my winter jacekts?"
toronto is cold but at least it is dry. however, when
the wind acts up? one really needs to bundle up!
yup, no harm in advance planning. even that, sometimes
plans change too but it is still better to be arm with a plan than
no plans at all, right? one step at a time will lead the way,
kiddo! all the best! :)
