US Visit - Day Five

4 hour flight to Toronto, met up with my uncle.
Drive to Grandmother's retirement village at Richmond Hill. Sad to see that Mama didn't recognise me (Alzheimer's) but glad to see that she is feeling quite happy all the time (at least in her expression)
Visited Grandfather's resting place. Very calm and peaceful area. Good choice of location.
Vigourous discussion with my uncle re the difficulties of being Asian/Australian or Asian/Canadian as we identify ourselves with both cultures, but on the flip side not quite belonging to either one.
More vigourous discussions on the benefits of labour unions and working for the government.
Total time in car: 3 hours
Comfort food at the local Cantonese restaurant with my uncle and aunty. Ah, it felt like ages since I had that stuff!

Amount of work done: minimal
