加拿大人

#1 帖子 Leuning »

我工作生活中遇过一些加拿大人(土生白人,一代华人,二代华人,二代移民)。

华人:称自己来自 北美,羡慕美国工资。
白人,二代移民: 羡慕美国工资,物价。抱怨美国移民工作限制。

所有来自加拿大的: 最想去 夏威夷 度假。

My cruise disembarked in Vancouver last month, so we spent two nights at one of its suburb cities with many Chinese businesses.
First night, went out to dine. First restaurant was cash only, and I didn't have Canadian cash. The other one was closing in thirty minutes, and it was not sunset yet. So ended up having diner at McDonald's.
Second night, went to a Chinese restaurant with good review. It was too popular, and the waiting line was long. So walked out and explored two blocks and all the Chinese restaurants were closed or about to close. So ended up having diner at the same McDonald's.
Four combos costed about $60 Canadian. But it felt good to see the exchange rate of 1.36.

Inflation is whipping out all the low margin businesses.

Oh, I was kind of misleading.
When I was there, sunset time was about 9:20, and a lot of businesses were closed at 9:00. The huge shopping mall to which the McDonald I visited twice was attached was closed at 9:00.

03/14/2020 =https://corporate.walmart.com/news/202 ... ersWalmart
Starting Thursday, March 19, Walmart stores and Neighborhood Markets will be open 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. until further notice. This will help ensure associates can clean and stock products. Stores operating under more reduced hours will keep current hours of operation.

当时网上很多加拿大人说 才知道原来 Walmart 有 24小时营业的,加拿大那边关门好像都很早
