I feel like a full-blooded socialist now. We got our healthcards on Friday in the mail! We’re now officially covered under the province’s health plan. We haven’t had any need for it so far, which is a good thing too.
Last week we also started French classes. It’s an intro class but a heavy load–four nights a week for three hours. We take the class at a school in the Parc Extension neighborhood. The neighborhood is sometimes called ‘little India’ for the number of Indian immigrants living there, but the class is more like ‘the little U.N.’ (without the oil for French class side-scandal, of course). There’s Amelia and I plus people from Columbia, India, Nigeria, Algeria, Pakistan, Mexico, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Ghana, The Phillipines, Ivory Coast, China and Vietnam–and there’s only about twenty two students in the whole class! Unfortunately the teaching methods of the teacher are less than inspired so we’re not practicing speaking as much as we should.
