had dinner with lun zi on sunday..she brought her laptop and showed my pics of her travels in US and man! i love canada! haha...actually, i liked canada coz of the cold and the impression that they welcome non caucasians more, however, after what lun zi told me, i confirm it. i will prefer canada over prejudiced USA. ok, mayb i am being too judgemental, coz i am after all, only basing my impression over the encounters of 1 individual, but this individual is my best friend! we think likewise in many things, i tell u, and i defintely felt pissed just by listening to her accounts!
they were treated like prisoners in this airport. they were rudely and roughly "served" by the custom officers..it is plainly a sign of racism, as those on the plane were all chinese and they were spoke to as if they were deaf. i'm not even sure if they were spoken to at all. more likely shouted at. and did u know that you are not allowed to lock your luggages coz the immiration officers had the right to perform a random check on the contents? oh man, how do you know they are not thieves? and whats more, if you actually defy that and locked your luggage, they are allowed to DESTROY your luggage? i mean, what does the word destroy makes you think of? bomb. explosion. the luggage quarantined and then a robot sent to decimate it? loss of human rights vs paranoia..
after her accounts, i decided that i shall pay canada a visit once in my lifetime (and forgoing the trip to her neighbour in case i got my perosnal belongings bombed up and my ear drums burst) and the magnificient niagara falls. and that is my 2nd travel plan after i toured europe with my fellow backpackers (present strength, me and lun zi..haha) on my graduation..
