Hey Hey Hey.. it’s time to fly to Canada , Eh? So what you sayin’ to celebrate? Confused? My language seemed little different or I may say out of place. Well, well, well, this is you should expect to hear when you reach Canada. There are few slangs or words that you make yourself familiar with. It is essential or else you will find yourself lost every time someone would speak to you in the abroad . Though the list is endless yet I have tried to chalk out few for your reference. Helloo, you should leave something for on board too ;-) Eh? - Similar to “huh” or “right?” , the word is pronounced as “ay”. “ what you sayin’?” means “What are you doing?” Now, do you understand what I was trying to ask you in the beginning?

I am considering visiting Jasper National Park since I am really fond of watching the wildlife. Native wildlife in Jasper National Park includes elk, mo
