It’s amazing that our “Open Home” program becomes so popular in such short time. After Awa’s “once shouting”, warm responses flooded into our group message board and email accounts. Parents are eager to bring their kids to meet new friends. We are happy to have seen 19 kids from 18 families in tonight’s party. Most of them are under 6 years old (one baby is still in Mom's tummy).
Bring kids together is the fundamental purpose of our group. Thank our tonight’s hostess, Awa, she has token all of means to accommodate maximal number of children and their parents without compromising their safety. In my mind, we already achieved 90% of goal we planned when we see so many children coming together. What amazed me is the effort of our guest parents. They tried their share to make the remain 10% perfect.
In addition to their major contribution, i.e. bring their kid(s) here, they brought delicious food. I already took the pictures of some plates. If you have chance to taste it, I bet you would say, “here is the restaurant better than the best in Toronto” because our guests contributed their best plates made in their own home and represent the speciality from different regious of China. We also have the freshest vegetables because they are planted in our guest’s backyard.
Another important different features of today’s party is the KaraOK’s CDs our guests provided. The beautiful voice of our guests attracted our attention from time to time. The little babies come to sing a song too (Our photographer, Egg, will present the funnies pictures). Can you guess which song our children sing best? It’s “O Canada”! I am deeply touched when all of our kids sing the song together. Our children are Chinese, they are Canadian too! Next time if people ask me again how to merge into Canadian main stream, I will proudly say: we are the main stream, our children are the main stream.
Just like the word of the song, “Don’t ask me where I am from, My ex-hometown is far away…”. Here is our new home now. Let’s sing “O Canada” again. When we are together, our Canadian life will be better.
