Cultural Exchange 2011

Cultural Exchange 2011

When Rachael from The little red farm invited me to participate in her Cultural exchange 2011, I was thrilled! Sure, I said, I'd love to do it! So, I completed the content of my packages in about two weeks... but did not send them until last weekend! Oops, that's two weeks later than I was supposed to! But, what happened? First, I bought so much stuff that I could not decide what to leave out (I am a Libra, you know? That’s the one with decision problems), since sending huge packages would have cost me a little fortune I don't have. Then, busy December came up with my toddler starting teething again (he only had six teeth until then and almost doubled them in a couple of weeks), my husband’s sore back (he could not move for almost a week because of a back strain as a result of lifting Gabi, ouch!), finally the Christmas madness and family festivities...not to forget my laziness afterword’s (that’s because of the full stomach, I guess, he he). My apologies to you, my dear Exchange Friends! But I did it; finally, I’ve sent them all, yay! J However, it will take four to six weeks until they arrive to destination, I was told.

Let’s take a glimpse of what’s inside:

·         A letter explaining the content and how to use it

·         A big Canada map

·         Canada’s flag and a postcard with Quebec’s flag

·         Some other postcards from Quebec

·         A few booklets about the history, culture and fauna of Quebec and Montreal

·         A big laminated place mat with Canadian animals

·         A Color-by number animal book

·         Some Canadian stickers and a Saw-on flag

·         A Canada exercise book along with a Canadian pencil

·         A small bottle with maple syrup

·         And finally some chocolate loonies, maple syrup cookies and a maple syrup lollipop

·         J

By the way, did you know that "The Canadian province of Quebec is by far the largest producer, responsible for about three-quarters of the world's output (..) of maple syrup per year"?

Enjoy it! J
