which words bring up the image of Canada?
when I think about the symbol of canada, several things come into my mind without any long hesitation such as Maple, Ice Hockey, No.1 highway, French, Coffee-goer, Multi-culture, beautiful natural resource and finally Cold. Of course, these are relatively my personal opinion over Canada and Canadian, however if you ask foreigners the same question, whether who have an experience(s) to make a trip of Canada, you may get the same images or similar answers from them. of course, above mentioned several words can't tell the whole Canada, However those are some of the most likely well representative words of Canada and Canadian.
let me give the chance to explain why I choose these.
Canadian loves ice hockey? Yap, I've seen and felt many times, lots of Canadians are really crazy over Ice hockey. it's like the national sports no doubt about that and makes the whole nation wild with enthusiasm. Canadian loves red? as you can see in the flag, many canadians love red, believe or not, many designs related to Canada are using the distinguished red maple leaf design on a white ground. the red maple leaf is closely associated to Canada.
Number #1 HWY is required no more additional words to represent canada, the highway is laid long and horizontally through the whole nation from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean
it doesn't take long time to prove how canada has beautiful natural resource, drive away from the town or go to park where is located in the urban area.
overall, canadian weather reminds people of cold and long winter, I don't even need to mention the northern part of canada. if you are somewhere near vancouver in the winter, you can experience a l~o~n~g rainy season instead of cold. you know what, even if long rain makes people sad, I love that a lot rather than freezing cold weather.
canadian loves coffee, no doubt to say, can you image without a warm and tasty good coffee through a winter.
multicultural nation Canada, check this out on Robson st.
finally, speaking French is also very unique
just anyhow, experiencing some things new stuff in Canada makes feel free and enjoyable.
