Canada

"People always respect each other." - Titin

"What I love about Canada is the human rights.  People always respect each other.  That’s why I’m so proud to be Canadian.  Even more than Indonesian.  I feel secure in my future.  Especially for my kids.”

~ Titin

"I wouldn’t change him" - Aimi

"We met at Brock University in residence in our first year.  I thought he was Spanish or from some other country, definitely not from Singapore.  And I was the only person there from Macao.  Marriage has its moments. Its ups and downs. But now I really understand why marriage is half your faith.  I love that he does all the groceries and has done most of the cooking for the last three years. Even after 30 years and all that I know [laughs], I wouldn’t change him."
