no wonder you are so helpful! i was thinking that if you were from ontario you would kill my theory that ontario folks are buggers.
generally i am down on canada and some of the ontario-canada characteristics, but i have a liking for nfld, cape breton , nb and ns hospitality. I think the entire northeast of na has a type of character that i feel comfortable with. I have a lot of friends from the west of na and i appreciate many of their ways but some would not be considered polite in my home village, Churchover, Shelburne co.
i think ns folks are more like brits than we are like bc folks in some ways. weird to find a nova scotian in south america.

Hi Colleen,

I'm here teaching English as well (from Kansas City, USA). I am teaching privately now but hope to land a job with a school eventually. I was wondering how your apt. search is going? I am living in an apt. shared with three other guys in Chapinero Alto but I would like to find something a little more private. Let me know if you are still seeking a roomate. Either way, maybe we can meet for coffee or a drink. I'd love to swap stories.

My reg email is ellbee2 at hotmail.com

Hope to here from you,

Lyndon
