I spent the first year in Ann Arbor, Michigan working for the
University of Michigan. Ann Arbor is known as a , umm, liberal town,
for lack of a better description. Very interesting and quite
enjoyable.
Ileft the UofM and now work as a consultant placed at GM. Living and
working in the Detroit area. Still very interesting and not at all
what I would have expected. Never did I imagine I would be living in
Detroit, what with the ideas most Canadians have of the city.
I've spent time, work related, in Boston and in Kentucky.
Detroit has some problems to be sure, but there is a lot of exciting
things going on.
Boston just blew me away, I loved it. I crammed a lot of play around
my work and stayed an extra 3 days.
Kentucky was very interesting. Very friendly, a southern atmosphere,
bible belt (I was in Richmond), very small town American I might say.
Everywhere I have been people have been open and quite welcoming. All
would break into a smile when learning I am Canadian, and most spot it
in the first 10 minutes.
I miss Alberta greatly but am enjoying the experience here, it is very
educational.
