На прошлой неделе, мы разделили essay about relocating from Scotland to Canada.

Теперь, в “Будучи Там: Торонто,” which appeared in The Economist’s Intelligent Life журнал, Тим Roston, который переехал из Лондона (Англия) to Toronto a decade ago, пишет больше о the pleasures of his adopted city than about the trials of expat life:

Tonight we’re having a few other parents over for dinner, including a male married couple—nothing unusual about что здесь. Toronto supports numerous first-rate restaurants, but the dinner party thrives here too (Благодаря нашей hospitable nature и spacious, more-bang-for-buck properties).

If there’s a new person at the table I’m likely to be asked a question that betrays the average Torontonian’s slight uncertainty about their civic pride: "Вы пришли сюда из Лондона? Почему?"

Не поймите меня началась, I say. I love it here.

Among the things he enjoys are “the world’s least confusing underground (subway) system,” “awe-inspiring” Озеро Онтарио, and the way that Toronto “give(с) me a feeling I often have in this city: that I’ve travelled back to the Britain of my childhood.”
