[ Venezuela: the new adventures! ]
Two weeks after arriving to Valencia from Toronto and I am slowly getting used to the city. The traffic, the population, the trees, the mountains, the walking around, and the culture adjustment are just some of the things that differ this city from Toronto. It is hard not to compare countries, city and people, since what I know is the starting point to come to understand my new home. I have stopped asking WHY? as I did on my previous trip, but saying, -Ah, I get it. Whereas on the previous trip it was a chance to relax, this time around it is a chance to discover a whole new world.A world where gas is less than $0.25 a litre, but a used car from the 70´s is still running and worth more than $6000, a world where everyone loves mayo, pork and sweets, but looks amazingly fit. Food is so beautifully imperfect and delicious, and 1% milk here, tastes so rich and sweet.
In a world tragically beautiful and full of paradoxes, I am pretty sure I will discover so much more, but in the meantime I am just absorbing in it all in and taking in what I want and continuing to do certain things the Canadian way. After all, this is the same I did when I first arrived to Toronto.
