Canadian bananas are horrible! Let me clarify myself, bananas that you can buy in this country are bad! That's not to say that Costa Rica doesn't grow amazing bananas it's just that there is definitely something lost when they have to sit on a boat forever. How do they expect me to eat something so sub-par when I know what a banana really should taste like? It's very frustrating to me just how bad they really are because before living in the Dominican Republic I enjoyed a nice Costa Rican banana purchased at the local supermarket. I have been ruined. Ruined I tell you and I don't think that it will ever get better.
Let's take for example the recent Albertan weather. Rain, rain and more rain. I am miserable here and freezing cold which is a phenomenon that I have not hither to had to deal with. I mean, I am Canadian! I'm suppose to like my cold weather. In the words of my Dad, it puts hair on your chest. (First of all, I don't think it is scientifically proven that it does and if it does, even more reason to hate the cold weather!) Not to mention that now I have a cold. Great. What ever happened to summer? When I realized that I was going to get back to Canada in August I was fine with it. I figured that I could just easy my way into cold weather but I guess I was wrong. I love Canada. I am proud to be a Canadian but this country sure does make it hard to love.
For the last two years, I have been the only Canadian in my mission. Out of almost 200 missionaries, I was the only Canadian and I represented us with pride. How does Canada repay me? Horrible tasting bananas and cold weather. Thanks a lot Canada. After everything I did for you, you couldn't have stayed warm a little longer? I guess on the bright side, I do have a hairier chest now.
