De Londres a Toronto: Mais contos de expatriados
Na semana passada, nós compartilhamos uma essay about relocating from Scotland to Canada.
Agora, em “Being There: Toronto,” which appeared in The Economist’s Intelligent Life revista, Tim Roston, que se mudou de Londres (Inglaterra) to Toronto a decade ago, escreve mais sobre the pleasures of his adopted city than about the trials of expat life:
Tonight we’re having a few other parents over for dinner, including a male married couple—nothing unusual about que aqui. Toronto supports numerous first-rate restaurants, but the dinner party thrives here too (graças ao nosso hospitable nature e spacious, more-bang-for-buck properties).
If there’s a new person at the table I’m likely to be asked a question that betrays the average Torontonian’s slight uncertainty about their civic pride: "Você veio aqui a partir de Londres? Por que?"
Não me faça começar, I say. I love it here.
Among the things he enjoys are “the world’s least confusing underground (subway) system,” “awe-inspiring” Lago Ontário, and the way that Toronto “give(com) me a feeling I often have in this city: that I’ve travelled back to the Britain of my childhood.”
E para contos mais da vida expat no Canadá, read “Um americano em Calgary” e minha história Canadá própria.
