加拿大 Happy Canada Day!

Canada Day is July 1.
Canada Day is a statutory holiday throughtout Canada and is a celebration of the day in 1867 when the first colonies of British North America entered Confederation as the Dominion of Canada.

在貿易公司混了幾年,不時需要與外國公司連絡事宜,
常常都覺得歐美國家的公司,放的假都很多也很長。
老是讓我懷疑他們的上班時數夠嗎?
我猜想,這情況對於拼命加班工作的亞洲人來說真有點難理解…
再說,外國公司似乎也很能理解家庭觀念,如果家裡有事似乎都可以允假……(這個我還會再去證實的!)

今天如果還待在家的話,就太沒天理了!
就算待在hostel,也還是找不到工作…不如就出門去感受一下CANADA DAY的歡樂吧!
原以為這小旗子和胸針要錢,後來辣妹說:It's Free
我立馬停下腳步拿了一組!

What did you see?  Yes, '' UR2 SEXY"

在省了很多餐後,我們奢侈的買了一支麥當勞的冰淇淋Cone @ 1.15 CAD
清涼消暑的快樂時光總是一下就過~ 

This street artist is really bad, so there have a gay just copy his move. 

Canada Day have no meaning to us, but all of these are for free, it's very important to us!
We LOVE free!

See this kid is so happy, and he have ice cream that we can't have it.

LIVE BAND SHOW

What's a beautiful CN TOWER

索性來個仆街……in front of CN TOWER

There was a fireworks show tonight, but we didn't see that.
Because the fireworks was starting at 10:30pm, it's so late for us.

Anyway, it's really happy day. because of FREE food!


加拿大的國定假日都是出現在周五或周一,這樣可以給人民帶來三天的假期。
