My very first impression of Canada was formed long before I actually set foot in the country. As a Thai teen hooked on Hong Kong TV series, I remember toward the end of several productions, certain characters would announce they were going to start a new life in Canada. The name sounded to me like an alien far-away land covered by snow all year round. Being cold sensitive, twenty degrees Celsius was already freezing to me, I had either dreams nor interest to live in such a place. But for the Hong Kong TV characters whose tumultuous lives had hit a dead end in their homeland, Canada was touted as a lank slate of endless opportunities where they could begin anew, redeem themselves through leaving the old world and its baggage behind.
