[分享]"O Canada"

wuying

It's amazing that our "Open Home" program becomes so popular in such
short time. After Awa's "once shouting", warm responses flooded
into our group message board and email accounts. Parents are eager
to bring their kids to meet new friends. We are happy to have seen
19 kids from 18 families in tonight's party. Most of them are under
6 years old (one baby is still in Mom's tummy).

Bring kids together is the fundamental purpose of our group. Thank
our tonight's hostess, AWA, she has token all of means to
accommodate maximal number of children and their parents without
compromising their safety. In my mind, we already achieved 90% of
goal we planned when we see so many children coming together. What
amazed me is the effort of our guest parents. They tried their share
to make the remain 10% perfect.

In addition to their major contribution, i.e. bring their kid(s)
here, they brought delicious food. I already took the pictures of
some plates. If you have chance to taste it, I bet you would
say, "here is the restaurant better than the best in Toronto"
because our guests contributed their best plates made in their own
home and represent the speciality from different regious of China.
We also have the freshest vegetables because they are planted in our
guest's backyard.

Another important different features of today's party is the
KaraOK's CDs our guests provided. The beautiful voice of our guests
attracted our attention from time to time. The little babies come to
sing a song too (Our photographer, Richard, will present the funnies
pictures). Can you guess which song our children sing best? It's "O
Canada"! I am deeply touched when all of our kids sing the song
together. Our children are Chinese, they are Canadian too! Next time
if people ask me again how to merge into Canadian main stream, I
will proudly say: we are the main stream, our children are the main
stream.

Just like the word of the song, "Don't ask me where I am from, My ex-
hometown is far away…". Here is our new home. When we are together,
our Canadian life will be better.
