Canada Day: What Are You Doing to Celebrate?

Dearest my fellow Canadians: HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

I hope you all have big plans back home and have loads of fun. I am interested to hear though what Canadians abroad are doing on a day like today? Are you celebrating or are you letting it pass by like any other regular day?

I feel that this is the one day of the year where we should feel proud to show our heritage and share our Canadian culture with others. This morning I woke up and made breakfast for my flatmates: Pancakes with maple syrup (and peanut butter - which was surprisingly good) and chopped up fruit. Although I was a little limited with materials (ie. No Canadian Bacon), the meal turned out really well! Then I'll be on the train tonight to Shanghai for chairing an AIESEC Training Session for students going abroad for the Alcatel exchanges in France.


Did You Know...

Mike Myers, Michael J. Fox, Jim Carey and the Tragically Hip are Canadian...

Basketball, the 24 time zone divisions, Hockey and Apple Pie were invented by Canadians...

And the reason the Whitehouse is white - is thanks to the Canadians as well :)


So my question to you - my fellow Canadians abroad (and for that matter, anyone abroad), what do you do to celebrate your country's national holiday while living in another country?
