Two months ago, I moved to Winnipeg.
No fanfare, no red carpet, no welcoming party, not a big deal. I had thought
about coming to Canada for about 10 years, but then when the opportunity finally
came, I guess I panicked and almost changed my mind, despite the surprising
number of people encouraging me to just go for it.
I knew it would be difficult leaving behind my family, most of my friends, a
great job, my home, and one of the best countries in the world, but, in the
end, I just packed up everything and did it. Kind of astonishing since I had
hardly even heard of Winnipeg until this time last year and had been warned
about even visiting here.
Anyway, I have learned not to pay any attention to other folks from most places
across Canada when they talk about Winnipeg, Winterpeg, Windypeg or whatever
else they call it. I like it here and, so far, everything is going great.
So, why Winnipeg?
