My workplace is my ‘second home’... I have a sense of ownership … The people at work are my ‘second family'.
Public transit in St. Thomas is very different when compared to Toronto. Having a small shuttle bus and less public transportation is part of the experience here. Personally, I don’t use public transportation but when my parents visit without a vehicle, that would make it difficult for them to move around. There are no public transportation options to London, aside from taxis and Uber
Galaxy Cinema at the Elgin Centre
I grew up in Ho Chi Minh City, where it was always busy. Moving to St. Thomas, everything runs at a slower pace which makes me feel at peace but sometimes I feel that the city can be boring. During my free time, I like to go to the Galaxy Cinema at Elgin Center. Here is a place to get connected with the world and to talk about movies with my friends. I watch movies there but also to buy clothes, use the gym and services. It is a very quiet mall and not many visitors.
