For all our lambton friends - I came across this article

At first glance, Bert VandenHeuvel and Yisha Wang don’t have a whole lot in common.

VandenHeuvel is a 73-year-old retired teacher and lifelong Sarnian, while Wang is a 22-year-old business administration student from northeastern China.

But the two sit in a small room at Lambton College, discussing common experiences from 10,000 km away in Changchun, China.

“There’s a sidewalk, and it means nothing,” VandenHeuvel recalls, talking about the city’s chaotic traffic. “If a taxi driver wants to get one car ahead, he’ll go on the sidewalk.”

“The drivers are very crazy in Changchun,” Wang adds with a smile.
