Day 83: Bureau de poste and 'Oh Canada'

Here we are at the Post Office. I get very nervous about this place because I still don't know how much a stamp costs...I have not bothered to check into it (and it looks so intimidating with those lions in front) When I need to mail something, I thrust the items at the Post Office person and ask "How much to send these?" They usually take pity on me because I am obviously a foreigner. They stick on the stamps and I hand them money.

I heard an interesting fact on the news today - only 67 percent of Canadian High School students know the lyrics to the Canadian National Anthem.
That is surprising to me because it's a pretty simple (yet beautiful) song, unlike the American National Anthem which gets butchered over and over. Plus they sing it every day in school.
I am pleased to say that my kids have mastered 'Oh, Canada' and regularly march around the house singing it at the top of their lungs.

And now for your enjoyment:
