Miss Canada - Research? Well thanks to my close Muslim Sri Lankin friend I was aware of many of the "normal" things I would be likely to see. So yes I was prepared for this. Having lived in London for the best part of the last decade I have been fortunate enough to meet people from all over the world. They have all added to my view of the world.

He also said that Muslims here do not necessarily reflect Muslims elsewhere. Goes for everyone - Not all Westerners are the same either are they.

I research any company that I may work for - living somewhere new needs the same attention.
