When Tetia mets India in Vancouver !

For my first paper in l’Express du Pacifique, I had to write about the little India, also known in Vancouver as the Punjabi market. This place is one of the most important that you should visit when you are in Vancouver. Restaurants, fabrics stores, jewelry stores, all remind you the hindu culture.

It’s always for me an awesome moment to be there. I have been there a couple of time before and also during the Baisakhi Festival. The hindu community is very important in Vancouver and this festival was a great occasion for them to be together and celebrate. As I described in my article, the colors, the suits, the jewels were so beautiful. This overjoyed atmosphere really made me miss my country a lot. 

In addition, hindu’s gastronomy was a quite familiar to me, we also use various spices in our dishes !  However, you fell like there is someting that left you unsatisfied, you would like to see more about this place: there was such a bit contrast between regular days and the festival day. During my research for the article, I found different papers about the dynamism of the hindu community in the suburbs like Richmond and Surrey. Unfortunatly, I think the market his losing his popularity despite its big potential.

However, this place is very amazing and I would recommand it to everybody !

Let’s go to China town !

Olympics Games time !!

I have never thought that I would live this experience when I decided to move to Vancouver. The Olympics Games were so interesting and entertaining !

The atmosphere in the city was so enjoyable  : people from countries all around the world and various free activities !

Being newcomer  in a country (city) makes you feel apprehensive and it’s never easy to find your place, the right one and to feel comfortable with people. Nevertheless, the olympics time was the best timing and a good transition for me.

I was a volunteer at the francophone place and I think it was one of the greatest moment of my life !! I met one of my favourite singers and I took a picture with him, what may I ask else ? By the way, I improved my french
