Canada

September 23, 2010

Now it's rapidly moving towards October. The Mid-Autumn Festival in China is over. I've read that this festival dates back about 3,000 years. Didn't I write about another festival in China that was very old, too? Traditions change but it's really nice to see that these kinds of things don't change much at all. 

The weather in Canada is getting cooler, almost day by day. My pool is way too cold to swim in and it's been that way since the first part of September. Soon, I will have to empty it and get it ready for our winter. That's never a happy day. 

Good news! Mapleleafman is now writing for an American computer magazine's website. I've had one article published and I have two more in the system. It's nice to have my words out there for people to read. What's nicer is getting paid to write. I've been writing all my life but it seems that now I have actually succeeded in getting some money for it! Yay!

Let me know what's going on in your lives. Are most of you still finding English difficult? Let me know if you have specific problems. I can't help all of you individually but I can certainly answer short questions here on Ebaby.

Thanks for reading. If you want me to write about specific topics, let me know. Maybe some parts of English confuse you. I'll try to help you.

 You're right, of course, but I was speaking about winter coming quickly now. Canada's weather isn't too different from Beijing's weather and not as cold as Harbin. It depends on where you are. In Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City, it can get very cold, much like Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton. But if you are in Vancouver or Victoria, or on the far east coast, the weather isn't nearly as cold. The far west is much warmer than Beijing, for example.
