Current place : Toronto, Canada
It's October already. This time of the year reminds me of something. My first maple leaf. There is a saying, when you first set your foot in Canada, the first thing you have to do is to get yourself a maple leaf. A red one, just like in the flag.
There were maple trees in front of Mining Building, University of Toronto. A usual route that I took whenever I went to class or heading back home. As I walked past them day by day, those leaves were turning yellow and finally red at the end of autumn, falling down as a sign of winter was approaching.
There I got my first maple leaf. It was mid October. Getting yourself a maple leaf doesn't mean anything actually. But for me, it kinda signifies something. Of which I don't really know. But I really treasured that leaf that I picked up on my way home until it withered. And I'm gonna miss those moments.
Cold strong winds, the smell of autumn is just awesome. Light sweater, a pair of sneakers, and of course, hotdog jumbo size. Too bad I won't experience it anymore. Well, for the time being. I got another plan for next year. Oh yeah, I'll always have a plan. In conclusion, I'm gonna miss this phrase
Terima Kasih Daun Maple
Oh, and French Vanilla too...
