My life in Canada was awesome. But I had recently moved to America and I felt a little change. First change were the stores and shops.
When I was living in Canada, I loved this place called "Garage". It is a clothing and apparel store. It is targeted to girls in the teenage years. I also remeber the eau du perfume was the best there. Another great clothing store is "roots". "Roots" is better quality than "Garage", while it's targeted from toddlers to adults. Additionaly, I remember a coffee shop (like starbucks- but cheaper) named 'Tim Hortons'. I actually had seen some coming down to America, but there aren't as many here. Time hortons seved coffee, donuts, muffin, sandwiches,etc. And my favourite part is the 'roll-up' event. The rollup is when someone orders a drink and try to win prize(s) from the selection by rolling up the rim of the cup. Futhermore, the rest stations are also very different. In Canada, there are convient stores, fast food restraunts, and obviously gas station and restrooms. But in America,(atleast the ones I had visited) it only includes vending machines,and restrooms. And the gas station and restraunts are located elsewhere.
Another great place were groceries. In America, the biggest 'american' groceries are kroger and meijer. But in Canada, there are 3 main ones: "the real canadian superstore", "metro (which was dominion ) and "loblaws"(which is another franchise of superstore).
Finally, the cosemetic/makeup and pharmacy is: shoppers drugmart. In America, the big pharmacy would be 'walgreens', 'rite aid' and 'cvs'. Recently, I had vistied Canada. I had visted 'shoppers' to look at makeup. And what I noticed was that shoppers had testers. This was very benficial to know if you would like the product or not.
In conclusion, the stores and shops are very different. It is very cool to know that the culture is very different between Canada and America. This got me to think on how different it would be between the North America to Europe or elsewhere.
