On Top of Canada

April 17, 2008

During my first few months in Canada, that was in April 2004, I noticed that when saying goodbye (i.e., after a days’ work) a Canadian would say “enjoy the sunshine!” My answer would be, “oh we get a lot of sunshine in the Philippines and it’s too hot there so I really don’t mind the hovering clouds.” Later on I realized that Vancouver and the surrounding areas get so gloomy. And it is such a welcome treat for them to see the sun out. What I am trying to say is that in the Philippines, most Filipinas would run to be under the shade ‘coz they don’t want to get dark skin, right? Filipinas want their skin to be lighter. Hence, the multimillion peso skin bleaching business i.e., hydroquinone, bleaching soap, skin whiteners….glutathion. Tongue out But here in Canada, you would see Canadians eating lunch under the sun. They want their tan. You won’t see skin lighteners in the supermarket. You will see tanning lotions. And of course, tanning salons.
