Hi there,
I am from Montreal and was relocated to Minnesota a year ago. I miss home (Canada).
Prior to moving here, I was in a long distance relationship with a woman from Vermont. The drive was about 2 hours from Montreal and we had been going back & forth for just over two years. So we saw this move to Minnesota as a salvation, an opportunity, and an answer to finally living together. Well, its been a very tough year and we both have been suffering from "homesickness" very very badly.
Minnesota is a very clean state and there are very neat and fun things to do. However, the culture is nearly impossible to break into - especially if you were not born & raised here.
Needless to say that we are moving back "home." Sadly, that means splitting apart again for my fiance and I but I would rather be happy and 2 hrs apart then miserable and depressed in Minnesota.
I am a dual citizen to Canada & the USA (born in Canada) and have always wanted to live in the USA, but I got to be honest...I do believe life in Canada is alot better. Sure there are alot of conveniences in the USA (i.e. shopping, nice neighborhoods, and low taxes) but there is something missing. CANADA ROCKS EH!
Counting the days until we move....15 to go!
