Despite having taken six years of French in school, I am only fluent in English. That has always been a huge frustration as bilingualism and multiculturalism was HUGE when I was in elementary school. I could probably learn to read another language but my tongue doesn't cooperate when I try to say even a few words in another language. Lisa Marie

After Everest, Nepal is famous for Buddha, Lumbini, and Peace. Siddhartha Gautama, more popularly known as Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, and the peace preacher, was born in Lumbini, a part of the plainlands of Nepal. The Maya Devi Temple- the exact birthplace of Buddha and the vicinity, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, received over 1.5 million voyagers from the world in 2019.

In the words of Joe:

I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader,
And I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled,
And I don't know Jimmy, Sally, or Suzie from Canada,
Although I'm certain they're really really nice,
I have a Prime Minister, not a President,
I speak English and French, not American,
And I pronounce it "About", not "Aboot",
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack,
I believe in peacekeeping, not policing,
Diversity, not assimilation,
And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal,
A toque is a hat.
A chesterfield is a couch,
And it is pronounced Zed, not "Zee", Zed.
Canada is the second largest land mass,
The first nation of hockey,
And the best part of North America.
My name is Joe,
And I AM CANADIAN.
