不过租赁办公室是告诉我说,既然我们有合同,房东不能随便增加房租,也就是说我可以不理她增加房租的要求. 只不过我觉得,房东如果拿不到她想多要的钱,心里不痛快,我们也很难和睦相处下去.我知道房东一直很算计如何能多赚点钱,不过我也不想花接近公寓的价格去住她的一个房间,所以还是选择躲开了. 我的一种猜测是,房东没想到我们会搬走,她认为我很随和,好说话,我们很有钱,应该会接受她的要求。以前聊天,她总是说这里的中国人如何有钱,买大房,付现金,开好车等等,虽然我告诉她,那是少数,而且很多都是香港人,大陆人没那么富,不过在她眼里,还是中国人都很有钱. 另外,我们告诉她搬走日期的前一天,老公去了一个面试,是个入门级的工作,薪水很低,也没什么发展前途,在一个香港老板手下工作,我们觉得应该努力争取更好的职位,就决定放弃了。面试回来之后,老公为了多练练英语,就和房东聊了这个事情,提到老板给的薪水只是他以前国内薪水的不到1/3,他不想接受,就放弃了. 房东听了估计心里更认为中国人都很富裕了. 因为房东自己是做旅店前台的,职位和薪水很低(她老公在的时候,她一直不工作,老公不在以后被迫出去工作的). 当然,这都是瞎猜,没什么根据。 真正有用的,还是前面几个老大说的话: 1.口头无效,要书面的东西; 2.人都分3\6\9等,也不要把西人想的太好; 3.交往要有距离,不是什么人都能成为朋友; 我和老公为了多说英语,经常和房东聊天,聊天内容太广泛了,什么都说,没想那么多,算我们的一个教训. |

two third of toronto population are coming from third world, do you believe that people will change just because they are moved? How many real "white" people here; Toronto (Not Canada) is real hash world, full of losers of their own countries and refugees, they are capable of doing anything in order to survivie; Read "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London, be the bulk. Otherwise, you will be the prey; And never just people by colour, any kind have good ones, and any kind have bad ones; one thing is for sure, keep evidence and proof is always doing good to yourself; Any people can eat their words in any situation but they can't change the writing proof; |
独在异乡为异客,中国人要帮中国人。

So many Chinese believe they can make friends with landlords; Wrong; Western world and culture is different from PRC; if you can be friends, that's bonus; if you can't, that's normal; Don't expect too much here; Western people are lonely and self-centered creatures, they are different from us; they growing up free and pure nature instinct driven development; And nature instinct is to protect yourself and survive long; Lions will fight with other lions to get the right for mate and regeneration; Trees will try to get rid off all other plants surrounding it in order to get the best possible sun light; That’s nothing wrong here, nature rule is cruel and it make life strong and last forever, at least longer than any mankind history; People is not animal until they are civilized; And that’s why We are different, we have 5000 years of print of culture; Even though last 50 years we changed for good or for bad dramatically; we destroy temples and get rid of anything old (old buy may destined last longer), but in our mind, we still have all the prints left and accumulated in that 5000 years, that’s very good; but may not fit the rule here; And the best strategy in living here is don't speak or expose yourself too much; Chinese people some time too sensitive on how other people judge or assess them; Who cares, western people can change a dozen of sex partners in their life, do you believe that they will care about the relationship with you; The countless coming and going tenants; That’s why, western world is family orientated, outside your lovely family, don’t expect too much; working hard on improving the ability to get the highly paid job and move to somewhere affordable for yourself independent; And be aware that in here such a constant changing and pressured society, they are nuts running on the street all over the place; in our idiom, you can see all kinds of strange birds in a bigger forest; here exactly that’s way; Get use to it stay here, otherwise, be a returning sea turtle; But anyway, make yourself happy and moving forward; Still that word, real educational background divided people into different levels, not rich or poor but their soul levels; try to stay and with high level (Again soul level) people, you will find that life is easier; 引用:
