The water fl ows into the N iagara Ri ver and over the fals on its way to the sea. They saw the covered stadium, home of several famous basketbal l teams. As they walked north from the harbour area, Li Daiyu said, “Lin Fang, one of my m other?s old schoolm ates, li ves here. I shoul d phone her from a telephone booth.” They met Lin Fei around dusk in downtown Chi natown, one of the three in Toronto. Over dinner at a restaurant cal led The Pink Pearl , the cousi ns chatted wi th Li n Fei, who had moved to Canada many years earl ier. “W e can get good Cantonese food here,” Li n Fei tol d them, “ because most of the Chinese people here e from South China, especi al ly Hong Kong. It?s too bad you can?t go as far as Ottawa, Canada?s capi tal. It?s approximately four hundred ki lometers northeast of Toronto, so it woul d take too l ong. ” The train left l ate that night and arrived i n Montreal at dawn the next morni ng. At the stati on, peopl e everywhere were speaki ng French. There were si ghs and ads i n French, but som e of them had Engli sh words i n smal er l eters. “We don39。s to bad,” he sai d. “Montreal is a city wi th wonderful restaurants and cl ubs. Most of us speak both Engli sh and French, but the city has French cul ture and tradi ti ons. We l ove good coffee, good bread and good music.” That night as the transfer was speeding al ong the St Lawrence Ri ver toward the Gulf of St Lawrence and down to the distant east coast, the cousi ns dream ed of French restaurants and red m apl e l eaves.

Beth said, “ I knew it would be coul d i n January, but not thi s cold! Maybe there is a dog sled that can take me i nto town. ” The qui et man who had been on the plane wi th her said, “I?l l take you into town, but I don?t hace a dog sl ed. Most peopl e only use the dogs for petitions, why are you vi siting Iqal uit?” Beth answered, “ I?m wri ting a story for m y newspaper about Iqal uit – we?d l ike to advertise it as a holi day place, but I think it?s too col d.” The man l aughed. “My nam e i s Sim on and I am Inuit, ” he said. “I think it?s too far north here for hol idays but m ore and more tourists are i ng. They l i ke i ce fi shi ng and photographi ng polar bears. I star as far away from pol ar bears as possi ble. I l ike m y warm ofi ce and m y warm house.” “I?m business man. My grandfather would li ve in ice houses when he hunted in winter, but not so many people do that now. the old men used to make one i n a few hours. They used to li ve in ski n tents in sum mer – the tents were easy to move so the people coul d fol ow the ani mals. ” A few mi nutes l ater they ari ved in Iqal uit, a town wi th a populati on of 6000, on Si mon?s snowm obi le. It was two o?clock in the afternoon, but i t was al ready dark, and al l the houses shone wi th bri ght li ghts. Beth said, “ Why i s i t so dark? It?s the middl e of the day!” Sim on repl ied, “It?s dark i n the day because we are so far north. You should e i n June. The sun shi nes al night i n the north then.
