Ariel, says of the move and adjustment to first world Canada that "...the awe of the new environment left me wanting home, home by which I mean the plump, welcoming bosom of my Mama, chicken-back and dumpling, callaloo...it took me a long time to like Canada, I loved it immediately, but to like it, that took some time..."
