CANADA!! 10 SHOCKING THINGS ABOUT CANADA!!

[@RenLuuk]

In 2004, we moved back to Canada from Wales, UK. I hadn't been there for 8 years, so there were at least 10 shocking things about moving to Canada for me!!

[@vwdwchallenge]

Hi Karen I've been posting little packets of gems to everyone who commented on my gem post and now it's your turn could you send your address via Instagram so I can send some to you❤

[@bradandamy]

My favorite part of this video is finding out you skated to and from work! And your daughter singing at the end! And, ok, everything - everything was my favorite part of this video😄 Loved all the clips you included!🇨🇦

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much guys! My favorite part of work was the skating as well 😂 glad you got to see a bit more of family clips. Definitely fun to put together 🥰🙏🌹🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@SantosChronicles]

How come there aren't really basements in the U.K? Yes, the old school clips!!!! What amazing family memories! Thanks for sharing classic clips of Karen!!! You know you are in Canada when you skate to work. I saw another KZbin explaining that. How I met Your Mother was one of my favorite shows for ever!!!! Do you have a go to place for all your clips? Or just a regular search?

[@RenLuuk]

Love your comments for me!! I just search KZbin for clips. Yeah, takes a while. I also have things in mind - like how I met your mother. And of course, Schitt’s Creek. The hardest part for this one, though, was finding the home movie clips. Hours and hours. But hey, such is the life of a highly successful KZbinr 😂

[@lifewithpatti9531]

This was very interesting to me. I have never been to Canada so I learned a lot from you. We had the same kind of newspaper machines until just a couple of years ago.

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks Patti! And here I thought they were uniquely Canadian newspaper stands. The ones I saw in the states just dispensed one at a time. Thanks so much for watching 😂🙏🌹🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@HandsFullHeartFull]

zero credit oh no, good thing you had that friend. Skate to work!! That is incredible 😄. What a sweetheart at the end 😄😄 She did an amazing job

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much! How are things at your end? You all enjoying this nice weather?? 🥰🌹🙏

[@HandsFullHeartFull]

@@RenLuuk doing great life is super busy for us. Have a fantastic weekend 😀

[@SantosChronicles]

We can't wait to visit Canada as a family! The TV clip/movie clips are my favorite. You really put a lot of thought and research on these clips. I usually add 1 or 2, so when I see it through the video, I'm like this had to take forever. I really have to try Tim Horton's when we go there.

[@RenLuuk]

Another Santos chronicle to look forward to. You better film the whole timmie experience!! 🥰🌹🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇨🇦

[@simplysrilankancooking6983]

Excellent, my dear friend Have a peaceful time Simply

[@ThisIsOurRetirement]

Wow was a little confused there for a bit thinking 🤔 you were now in Canada 🇨🇦 and we all the time thought you were in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, but realized you had then moved back . We can now buy Wine 🍷and beer 🍺 at Grocery stores which is great , as they have different opening hours . Hope you are well have a great week Cheers 🍷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍺🇨🇦🌻

[@RenLuuk]

Wouldn't you know they change the law after I leave! haha!! Hope you enjoyed seeing a little bit of Ottawa in the video. And yes, moved back 5 years later. Have a great weekend! Today is bank holiday Monday - and it is SUNNY!!! Things are looking up for 2021 x

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks for the update on the alcohol sales law!! I've updated the news in the description. That would certainly make life a lot easier ... 🌹🇨🇦🍷

[@ChristopherAlbone]

I heard Canada is quite expensive but didn’t know if it was certain things or everything. I would love to go at some point but given the extremes of weather and the size of the country, it will take some thought. So much to see and do. Skating to work?!?! Brilliant. Another great video and I loved the editing. Funny, informative and touching. I hope you are well.

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much, Chris. I always look forward to hearing what you have to say. (just in case you wondered!) You are such a proper film maker, anything you say is greatly appreciated. Hoping to see some film from your end soon?? (hint, hint) Hope you and your family are doing well x

[@ChristopherAlbone]

I know. I need to pull my finger out but had a good excuse this weekend. We are all well thank you. Hopefully I will get a video out this weekend just to get back into it. Has been the longest break on my channel so far.

[@RenLuuk]

Hey! Remember that apart from people like me (and Violet) people barely notice 😂 And I am a big believer in taking breaks - or as I like to think of it, doing it when the mood strikes you. Only you notice the time passing. It’s good for the mind to sit back and reflect for a bit. I find that because I am a complete amateur, if I don’t film or edit, I forget things. Especially camera stuff. Luckily I have Violet by my side to tell me the same things over and over. Looking forward to whatever you make - whenever you make it. No pressure. Just fun 🥰🙏🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@EarlRoseVerifiedMusicArtist]

hi😀Earl here,

[@VioletHenning]

Oh yeah what an awesome video! I love these because you are so well spoken and well travelled it always makes me wish i would have gone places when i was younger! Thanks for sharing my friend. Was that Maddie at the end?

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much, my sweet!! Yes, that was 3 year old Maddie at the end. So CUTE I can’t stand it 😂 hope you are feeling better today 🥰🌹🙏🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@zestygirl]

What a joy this is to watch - You are incredible! I love your film making! LOL the breakfast! Trusting is so interesting, that's nice! I just loved this Karen! You are amazing!

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks, Michelle. I will be editing vids soon. I always appreciate you taking the time to comment. You are so incredibly busy with everything you do!!

[@TheSoldierFamilyNetwork]

I have a few friends in canada, but never been there. Now I can keep these in mind before planning to go!

[@kinibali4216]

Hello Karen, this was way beyond Interesting. I just loved it.

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much! Working on an update actually. Hope you are safe and well 🥰🌹☀️

Thank you for sharing experience here, My friend. It was interesting. Like👍🙏

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much!!! Hope you are safe and well 🥰🙏🌹

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

"Mayonnaise on Everything" 😂 I remember visiting Canada on a school trip and it was the best time. Canadians were really welcoming to us kids from Puerto Rico. We were also amazed at the underground pedway in Toronto because winters were so cold. I wish we had underground pedways for when it gets too hot down in PR. I do have very fond memories of my trip and wish to visit again soon.

[@RenLuuk]

Hopefully you get back there soon 🙏🇨🇦

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

Hello Karen, this was way beyond Interesting. I just loved it. I had no Idea how things were in Canada. I too just think how pretty and clean everything are there I have been to Blythe Ontario and the Niagara Falls. My husband and daughter have gone to Quebec on a class trip she was taking French at the time. 💕NonnaGrace

[@RenLuuk]

Awww, thanks so much Nonna Grace. Maybe one day you can make it to Ottawa where I'm from. Loads of things to do. You would love the Experimental Farm! They also have rare breeds there - you learn so much. Loads of museums - History, Space, National Art Gallery, Scient - all FREE!!! Lots of walking and cycling pathways, and the Market. Gatineau Park, loads of lakes ... the list is endless. So glad you enjoyed it x

[@Autourdumonde1]

Hey Karen, pretty interesting video as always. Have a nice week, ADM Team :)

[@RenLuuk]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@liedyMc]

Hi Karen nice video, yes the east of Canada really gets cold weather mind you Alberta as well Vancouver it’s just wet for 7 months. Oh yes the government liquor store crazy $60 for a bottle of Voka . Great seeing some lovely memories:) ✨

[@RenLuuk]

That is all so true! One advantage of being in Ottawa was being so close to New Hampshire - the tax free state. Alcohol was so so cheap. It is extremely good over here in the UK as well. In fact, so cheap they have had to trial minimum prices for alcohol. Hope you are doing well 🥰🙏🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Skating to work. Skating home. Wow.

[@RenLuuk]

Yeah! It was fabulous!! ⛸🇨🇦🌹

[@vwdwchallenge]

The skating looks great fun and I'm always shocked by the amount of food served in Canada, they do seem to have rather a lot of regulations 💚😉👍

[@RenLuuk]

I do love skating and really miss it. I’ve never heard that Canada serves a lot of food. Have you been to the States? 😂 you sure you aren’t confusing us with someone else a bit to the south? How are you feeling post op? Really hope you and your family are doing well. And hope your Mickey nuggets are finding their way to new homes 🥰🌹🙏

[@vwdwchallenge]

@@RenLuuk yes I used tocgo once a year before covid, but I do have a very small appetite so most meals are big to me, went to Canada a long time ago they had a massive mall it was amazing but I was younger in those day👍😉💚

[@RenLuuk]

You know when you are little that everything is so big 😂 but Canada does famously have the Edmonton mall. Which is the biggest mall in the world I believe ….

[@RenLuuk]

Hey! No more cataracts!! Had my second one removed in August 2020. Which is what my vision is no w - 20/20! 😂🙏🌹

[@Mikaflyd]

@@RenLuuk did you off set your prescriptions so that you could still read with one or did you set them both the same, with no near site? And wondering how you coupe either way? Haven’t done my other eye and its the near sited one. Hate to give up using it to read.

Wait, did you move to Canada?

[@RenLuuk]

CHRIS!!! How the heck are you??!!! I moved to Canada in 2004 - but came back to the UK. So yes, but not there anymore. Hope you are still on your bike! I'm still pedalling away over here!!!

[@ChrisVan]

@@RenLuuk hey, I'm watching the tour stage 15 right now. I recently thought of you bc I watched the mystery of ian......oh wait what's his name

[@ChrisVan]

Ian Bailey and the murder of sophie

[@RenLuuk]

@@ChrisVan YES!!!!!! Have seen it for sure!!! Loved it. However - they were missing out a few important things that we never knew the answers to. Like asking the cops where the gate disappeared to? Have they run the DNA they found on her recently?? And many other questions. But really really interesting. You guys doing well? Are you going to start posting some scenic biking videos this summer??

[@ChrisVan]

We're doing well. Soooo busy when kids are at the ages mine are. 15,18 and 21. I need to find my gopro mount so I can take some more videos soon. I have been biking every week.
