Hi everyone! - Need some advice/help please.
My spouse has just moved to Canada and has been in Toronto for a week now. To say that he is going through culture shock is an understatement - he is trying very hard but he is definitely missing home, his friends, his food, etc. For a start though he has already started classes to improve his written English (his verbal English is very good) and is getting used to the transit system (OK it's just one bus ride - still finding the time to take him on the subway - eeek).
We live in Scarborough and are having a difficult time finding Dominican food products - we've hit the Caribbean markets but don't really find too much. Are there any places where we can find these items? Any Dominican restaurants around? Any Dominican or Spanish groups/clubs that he may feel a type of camaraderie with? He was so social back home and I know that his adjustment would be better if he spoke to people he had much in common with. People have been telling him that it's so hard at first but you do eventually adjust, but at times I feel that he's ready to jump on that plane back to DR.
Oh - and he's definitely missing the Presidente beer - any around?
Regards.
