Good experiences .....? Unfortunately precious few to report. The one thing I have taken from this experience is how I will never take my love for my family, friends and country for granted ever again. I wish you luck though, and remember everyone's experience is different!

My little bit is, yeah. Some parts are not so good...bit like anywhere really.

No, not crime free; where is? However, I have not experienced any problems, nor has anyone I know. A lot of the problems in the nearby neighbourhoods are gang related...as a middle aged mum going about her daily business, I'm not likely to be involved in their disputes.

It's alright here. I bought some nice cheese crisps today which I very much enjoyed eating. It's the little things.

I love the pastelly winter mornings when the trees are all frosty, the sun is shining and the sky is blue.

I dislike it when its -40 and blowing snow.

I love the sunny warm summers.

I dislike that summervonly lasts for 6 weeks and I am plagued by mosquitoes.

I love being able to work part time.

I dislike the part time work is retail.

I love the feeling of being safe.

I am very curios why our road was blocked off by police and why a ambulane was on standby and an armed squad was present and why the police chopper was circling for most of the afternoon.

I dislike that my mail box has been destroyed AGAIN.

I could go on but we will get to the stage where there are more dilikes than likes so I'll stop now. There are things I like amd things I dislike, take notice of those that talk about dislikes as they can be very real concerns that you may want tomignore right now.

Our bin got f***ed by a black bear last autumn?

(Though, by f***ed I mean broken rather than anything actually sexual)

For someone who's so widely travelled, your geography stinks. Richmond Hill is at 43.7N whereas Fredericton is at 45.9N. And him who lives down in Richmond Hill has a name you know.
