標題: 加拿大人的生活方式 [打印本頁]
作者: Littleprince    時間: 2010-1-27 15:33     標題: 加拿大人的生活方式

ACC-HE 的帖子使我思想﹐怎樣才算是標準加拿大人的生活方式呢﹖

以下是我參考身邊一般加拿大人所得的﹐不知大家有多少是認同的﹐有多少是反對的呢﹖

-- 夏天去打美式足球﹐冬天去滑雪
-- 閒時看的聊的﹐都離不開冰上曲棍球
-- 比較喜歡看電視肥皂劇﹐以及那些無聊的電視比賽節目
-- 喜歡整花園﹐也喜歡自己裝修家居﹐剪草等等
-- 聽見不好笑的事都笑一大餐
-- 假日無聊地扶老攜幼到處逛商場
-- 多數唔同上一代住﹐所以加拿大特別多獨居老人
-- 父親節母親節才見父母一次﹐加埋聖誕﹐即是一年只係一兩次
-- 聖誕等大時大節一定開派對
-- 多數在別的市或鎮擁有 COTTAGE﹐成日去住返幾日
-- 很喜歡去 CRUISE﹐一年去幾次
-- 通常一年返工時間不夠一半﹐平時唔係放假就多多借口唔返工﹐例如只狗病左之類
-- 大假之後的星期一多數請病假﹐因為之前玩得太累﹐透支了
-- 最少生兩三個小孩

這些都是我身邊的所謂主流社會﹐所謂一般加拿大人常做的事。。。

只要看著上面的 LIST﹐就已經很了解﹐我並不投入他們的生活方式﹐除了“一年去幾次 CRUISE” 呢一樣之外﹐無一樣我喜歡呢。(逛商場也比較喜歡唐人商場﹐不是他們常去的 BRENTWOOD MALL 等等悶旦商場)

大家呢﹖你們又很投入這種生活方式嗎﹖

-- 父親節母親節才見父母一次﹐加埋聖誕﹐即是一年只係一兩次

actually they might meet more than that.. thanksgiving, birthdays, but for sure fewer than Chinese family.

You don't agree with that?

Do they go to Richmond center, Pacific center, Metrotown etc?

How I see local Canadian...
-- 夏天去打美式足球﹐冬天去滑雪
Play American football? Not that i know ...but they will "watch"...not play...
Ski yes, I go once a while as well.

-- 閒時看的聊的﹐都離不開冰上曲棍球
That's quite true.

-- 比較喜歡看電視肥皂劇﹐以及那些無聊的電視比賽節目
Quite a few people like Heros, House ...not only comic show...

-- 喜歡整花園﹐也喜歡自己裝修家居﹐剪草等等
That's true... also because DIY is much cheaper....

-- 聽見不好笑的事都笑一大餐
Yeah.... I feel the same way too...

-- 假日無聊地扶老攜幼到處逛商場
Isn't that what we do as well? Or even in HK... weekend I will go to shopping mall...
And I don't think Chinese mall can compare to Metrotown...

-- 多數唔同上一代住﹐所以加拿大特別多獨居老人
True...but I am not living with parents too..

-- 父親節母親節才見父母一次﹐加埋聖誕﹐即是一年只係一兩次
That's true...they see their parents less often in general.

-- 聖誕等大時大節一定開派對
Definitely!

-- 多數在別的市或鎮擁有 COTTAGE﹐成日去住返幾日
That... only $$$ do...I guess...

-- 很喜歡去 CRUISE﹐一年去幾次
I love cruise too...but can't afford a few trips per year la.

-- 通常一年返工時間不夠一半﹐平時唔係放假就多多借口唔返工﹐例如只狗病左之類
Well... don't see that in my work place...maybe more in government jobs?

-- 大假之後的星期一多數請病假﹐因為之前玩得太累﹐透支了
eh... not sure about this one... but there is only definite number of sick days...

-- 最少生兩三個小孩
well... at least 2... but i guess most people (chinese or local) prefer 2 kids than 1?
作者: Catpiano    時間: 2010-1-27 16:52

At least 2 to 3 kids>

Wah .. how to afford ar? it is not 80's or 90's anymore la..

當然唔同意不誠實地騙公司的假期喇﹐呢點對公司/老闆唔公平﹐其實以一個全球性的目光來看﹐最後﹐受的還是我們自己。。。

我比較鐘意行唐人商場﹐對加拿大一般公司買的衣服興趣很低﹐美國稍為好DD﹐但仍不夠香港賣的東西合我心意﹐好多香港或台灣的時裝店都有賣歐洲時裝﹐反而主流的主要賣加拿大產品。

well... i can tell that in general you have a pretty -ve image of Canadian...
Anyway, here is my thoughts

-- 夏天去打美式足球﹐冬天去滑雪
I would go ski too... If I am not afraid of the slope. I will see if can get over it. But doing outdoor activities are GREAT here. Not many canadian play footballs here (at least in Vancouver) but they do diff kinda outdoor stuffs. (beach volleyball, ultimate, golf, hiking, boating..etc)
AND CAMPING! I love camping and road trips. ^_^

-- 閒時看的聊的﹐都離不開冰上曲棍球
that's a common topic, same as weather and politics

-- 比較喜歡看電視肥皂劇﹐以及那些無聊的電視比賽節目
I don't watch much TV and I know that I don't have common TV topic with them. BUT cos I don't watch some shows... these shows don't become 無聊. Just different.

-- 喜歡整花園﹐也喜歡自己裝修家居﹐剪草等等
DIY is good! I love gardening too... just that I don't have a garden...

-- 聽見不好笑的事都笑一大餐
funny or not... is different to you and to them. I am sure they won't laught at "Stephen Chow's jokes" even if we did an acturate translation to them.

-- 假日無聊地扶老攜幼到處逛商場
I think it's common in every country... HK, here...etc BUT I really dont' like the mall...

-- 多數唔同上一代住﹐所以加拿大特別多獨居老人
I don't live with my parents. What's wrong with elderly living alone?

-- 父親節母親節才見父母一次﹐加埋聖誕﹐即是一年只係一兩次
I could have visited my parents often. But not 1 to 2 times la... A lot of my coworkers are close to their parents too. The 1 to 2 times cases are mostly for parents who lives out of town.

-- 聖誕等大時大節一定開派對
? if not, when to party?? weekdays?

-- 多數在別的市或鎮擁有 COTTAGE﹐成日去住返幾日
Some are inherited or past down from families. I wish I have a vacation home somewhere nice.

-- 很喜歡去 CRUISE﹐一年去幾次
Actually more Chinese I know went to cruise than Caucasians here....

-- 通常一年返工時間不夠一半﹐平時唔係放假就多多借口唔返工﹐例如只狗病左之類
Not in my case. Limited sick leaves. ppl in general work very hard in my office.

-- 大假之後的星期一多數請病假﹐因為之前玩得太累﹐透支了
If I go to HK...etc jetlag may trigger sick leaves too...   But I don't see my coworkers doing that. Again, limited sick leaves. And we usually get very busy after long vacation.

-- 最少生兩三個小孩
REALLY. I know ppl who don't have kid and some who has 2.
作者: Littleprince    時間: 2010-1-27 17:58

Wah .. how to afford ar? it is not 80's or 90's anymore la..

你真係有所不知。。。D 父母計過數﹐生兩個唔使找 BABYSITTER﹐老婆自己湊﹐省很多。。。加上生完一個﹐隔年半生另一個﹐拿好多好多產假﹐跟住 QUIT 左份工﹐大公司好多員工就是這樣﹐已經是一個 NORM。。。D人話只生一個反而唔化算

I just think it's healthier for the kid if they have bro and sister. It's very lonely for a single kid at home. Unless they have very close childhood friends or cousins.
guess my rule is 0 or 2 or more
作者: Littleprince    時間: 2010-1-27 18:02

我基本上住響邊個國家都無咩分別﹐因為我的興趣就係﹕

-- 一年去兩三次旅行 (最好去D未去過的地方)
-- 周圍試美食 (所以美食最好就腳一點就好D﹐呢點香港勝出)
-- 平時多數看書﹐上網﹐打機﹐SHOPPING﹐做運動﹐睡覺

所以對我來說﹐真的住在哪兒沒甚麼分別﹐反而加拿大的生活方式唔太適合我﹐例如﹕ 我唔鐘意整花園喇

I like gardening "once a while"...but definitely "not" maintain it lor...
i.e. once a while I will buy a couple of bedding flower to plant, but then I always forget to water them... >_<

And I don't like watering/mowing lawn...I just paid for someone to mow the lawn...

I do enjoy outdoor activities...hiking is great! Skiing (if I can afford) I want to go more often la.

Talking about good food... I like to go to Vegas la.. cheap flight ticket and ... decent price for food!

I don't like coffee at my office but I still drink it. (Cos it's free)
I am sure a lot of ppl like coffee just that it's hard to have good coffee here all the time. btw, if u try coffee on the east coast (e.g. NJ) it's worst... I threw one away after 1 small sip. But I had to buy it cos I need change for parking.. @ @

btw, I don't even think starbucks is good.

You are right, I love coffee and food in europe.

我唔係想炮轟你﹐不過我忽發其想...

...可能係你膚淺姐。

可能係你唔夠內涵去揾topic同人溝通。如果你天南地北﹐經濟政治﹐天文地理都識的話﹐我估你點都會有共同興趣。但係如果你只係追TVB劇集﹐八卦壹週刊D誹聞﹐同咩大牌子出左咩新袋的話﹐你都要反省一下。

同埋你講其他西人做D咩﹐你真係唔洗跟/"融入"。好似人哋追咩劇﹐你可以唔追(但係好多香港人其實都係追美劇﹐gossip girl, prison break, lost...)﹐人哋鍾意幾時見又或者唔見老豆老母真係唔關你事﹐無人要你融入呢個摸式。當然你可能好想同屋企人住啦﹐但係我可以對天講﹐若然香港人普遍能力許可﹐老早都會搬出去住啦。你話D西人少見父母﹐香港咪又係有"太空人"﹐同送D仔女去英國boarding school﹐D西人都可能為之側目﹐但係人哋唔會覺得要去adapt你個style姐。

又好似香港人無論夏天冬天陰天睛天都咁鍾意自拍同唱K﹐好多西人都唔明啦。係你自己鍾意就覺得正常﹐無呢個習慣就覺得無聊同悶架啦。

Comparing to other brand name bags, it is considered cheap; probably it is an American company and we are in N.A.  Same thing might go with L.V. or Gucci in France or Italy.

chunsh 發表於 2010-1-28 11:26

我諗係個人價值觀問題姐
對LP／我嚟講，COACH都算係名牌嘅。
不過300百幾蚊嘅袋，西人眼中好似一個3000蚊CHANEL嘅VALUE。
分別係，我地有留意不同品牌（note: 唔係話我地去追TREND買袋），"見識"多～ 佢地冇咁留意囉。

COACH價錢比佢地嘅生活洗費高，但係勝在平民化，對於較慳檢生活嘅西人黎講，都算係AFFORDABLE＆容易去草錢買。
對我地大洗慣嘅咪唔好囉，因為我地唔想周街都係。係我地嘅DEFINITION OF 名牌係。。。比得多D錢拿貴野，當然要有QUALITY，又有DESIGN，同埋交罕有。（但係事實上，好多冇乜SENSE嘅人而家係為買個LOGO，而唔係質地＆DESIGN嚟挑選買名牌）

咁呢個世界就係，一山還有一山高（IN TERMS OF 貴野）。

可能我個人比較容易滿足。
我無諗過要完全融入本地人嘅生活，完全認同佢地嘅價值觀。
反而，我只係想喺呢度搵到自己嘅生活空間。嘗試吓唔同嘅活動。例如hiking，skiing，golfing，呢度相對嚟講比較容易做到。啱玩嘅咪玩多啲囉，唔啱玩嘅咪煲吓碟，得閒開車落吓美國行吓，shopping又好，乜都好啦。有phantom of the opera我又會睇吓。有李雲迪我又會買飛。最緊要都係有份工，有個地方住。人地講hockey我唔算識，不過就算喺香港人哋講soccer我都未必識啦。儲夠錢嘅，咪返香港shopping吓囉。
做人，其實都可以好簡單。睇你點睇嘅嗟。

呢個已經一早做緊啦....
hahaha....

但我有朋友返黎同我講響HK, 你唔一年換返幾個過萬蚊既手袋會比公司D 同事歧視, 成日鬥呢樣果樣要名牌要高檔, 對呢個朋友構成好大物質壓力, 話人工比加拿大既固然多, 但洗返出去更多.....

朋友覺得香港有0甘多平野買, 我地呢度放假返去買就爽囉, 因為我地買返D平野總之呢度vancouver無就好馨香, 但HK人就唔同講法架啦, 掉轉就要搵source 買返D HK無既野 (例如去日本), 所以對我朋友來講, HK多野買呢樣野並唔特別帶給0羊好處喔

至於話講hockey, 0甘響HK, 開口埋口都講股票, 不見得有0羊建設性啊

我都鐘意返HK, 但我只鐘意買野同食野....我既standard of living 仲包括住同行, 實在HK比唔到我呢度有既野 (consider 我比同樣既$), 相對衣同食就容易compromise 得多, 而家上網要買好野一D都唔難, 就算要去trip 買同食, 果度都是有限錢啊...

True story of my coworker when he joined our company many years ago (yes, a big company).  One day he went down to Subway for lunch, and he sat down and started talking to another person who was there by himself.  He had the same badge, so they knew they are from the same company.

This person asked my friend how his work and how he felt about the company.  Then my friend started "yapping" on everything.  Later this person left and jumped onto this Porsche parked outside.  My friend started to think who the hell was him driving a Porsche.  Turned out he was the CEO that time.

I could see this ex-CEO walking around the building maybe once a month.  However, I did saw his toys every day, two Ferrari, back then.  Rumors said he ran out of parking spaces at home.  haha...

My current CEO drives a hybrid.
