a friend of mine is going to China to visit another friend who's studying Chinese there. her Chinese is so good now ... i feel ashamed of myself!
anyways, i wanted to buy something for my friend to bring it to her. naturally, i wanted to purchase something that was not "made in China". It turned out to be not an easy task! i had to go to many stores ... finally went to Carlton to buy some notebooks and books and to Bureau en gros for some pens and crayons. The notebook is Canadian and costs 6$ but it looks the same or maybe worse than those notebooks in dollar stores. How come it's so expensive when Canada has so many trees????
The rest is American. I try to boycott them ... but that's hard too! AH! Life is challenging!
