Comments on: Seven years in Canada http://www.martinhofmann.net/2007/03/21/seven-years-in-canada/ a personal blog about technology, communications and other stuff that interests me Sun, 14 Aug 2011 05:21:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sean Moffitt http://www.martinhofmann.net/2007/03/21/seven-years-in-canada/comment-page-1/#comment-100 Sean Moffitt Tue, 12 Jun 2007 01:31:18 +0000 http://www.martinhofmann.net/?p=82#comment-100 I'm late jumping on the pile here but belatedly, welcome to Canada again...it sounds like the 7 year inch doesn't apply here, thankfully we won't need a citizen intervention of maple syrup, Beaver Tails and Kraft Dinner. Canada's better for your presence.

You and Leona and many others made me feel welcome when I started out in Canada in 2000, which made things so much easier. And time really has flown by since then... Thank you, Sarah!

When I did the thesis I didn't know I would become an immigrant to Canada myself. Talk about going from theory to practice...maybe I should have applied as a "certified immigrant". :-) Thanks, Leona!

Bob - your German is great! You even got the "Umlaut" right. Very nice. Ed - Good to hear that you had a similar experience. Re soccer: thanks to the German specialty channel on Rogers cable, I can watch the Bundesliga soccer games live on the weekends. Now I just have to wait for my favourite club to make it back into the first division... Thank you Jim, Bob and Ed!

I was also greeted extremely warmly when I got here a few years ago - "my" officer and I had a long chat about football and my fears that I wouldn't be able to watch the liverpool matches. He turned out to be a Man Utd fan so I count myself lucky I wasn't sent packing... Ed Congrats Martin!
