 Five years old today.  Below is my first blog entry, sans picture. 
 

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Thank you for trying to give me  directions, but it's too confusing to me.   Would you mind drawing a map for me? 

Pity the Poor Immigrants...

 
Especially the children...specifically the girls.  Lately three young women have been murdered or violently attacked -- by their families! -- in Canada...Aqsa Parvez,  Tiffany Gale,Bahar Ebrahimi.  I came with my parents from Switzerland (where women didn't get to vote until 1971) to Vancouver during the 50's.  You'd hardly think there was a huge cultural divide between the two countries but when it came to bringing up a daughter...well, let's say in the late 60's to not be allowed to go out with boys, wear make-up, stay out after midnight, have my own opinions on just about anything, etc. caused much strife + stress + I left the nest at the earliest legal age possible.  At the time my more acclimatized to Canada friends' families + parents were a great help + I would hope that is still the case for most young immigrants today.
