26 Reasons I Should Have Stayed in Canada

By j2fi 177 days ago from http://www.j2fi.net

Would you ever double-guess your decision to move to Japan? I was recently asked to write about the 26 reasons I should have stayed in Canada and, being the obtuse Canadian I am, I decided to have a little fun with the article.
