"Flying to Toronto is a four-hour flight," I said. The next time I met my friend, I tried to explain this to her. In case you are from Europe, let me explain to you this way: Driving two hours would probably get you across two countries in your part of the world, while for us, we would have not even have reached the next major city inside the province of Alberta. "Does anyone want to visit Toronto or Vancouver over the reading break?" I kind of chuckled at that question, since anyone from Canada would know you do not fly from one major city to the next, on a university student budget, on a short notice during a break that is only one week long. Recently, one of my friends who just came to Calgary from England to study as an international student posted in a Facebook group I was in. Firstly, Canada is ridiculously large secondly, our plane tickets are among the most expensive in the world. If you are from Canada, you may have gotten used to a few things that many people from the rest of the world have a hard time wrapping the heads around.
