ohhh buddy you have no idea !!
in my last job i worked with a team of engineers ..all from mainland china.
they barely spoke english and would speak mandarin in the office constantly.
I could go 3 weeks before anyone would say a damn thing to me.
The asian population in toronto is greater than the 'white' population.
I love the food and some of the culture it brings to the city, but i hate the way thse people segregate themselves. There is no desire to participate as a canadian - instead they create the environment they are used to around them.
Not everyone - but enough to be plainly noticable.
like kpro said .. if i was in Hong Kong or China for work i'd be learning cantonese or mandarin as fast as possible to integrate with the community i'm working in ...
much more rewarding that way..
