No they aren't. My sister lives in Ottawa and she always sends me stuff about deals at Costco (mostly groceries and kiddies stuff) but when I go check the website for my local store, it almost always say the sales are not available in my province.

Also, they don't carry some of the items my sister can find in ON.
I think groceries vary, true. Costco does sell products based on the demographics.

What can my Indian nose expect to smell in Canada? What does their food smell like? Do they also have distinct smells that I might not be used to?
My office pantry at times smells of sea food and that smell according to me is nauseating. One of the apartment complex where we were planning to buy a home last month had similar issue. Someone had cooked boiled octopus or something and it was really really hard to stand in common area.

Is it the wood construction to blame? How come we don't hear about these problems in India? I have never heard a north Indian complaining about a south Indian smelling and vice versa.
 
It still gets stuck on our dresses. Better to bath or put a new dress and go out.
If you look at certain east asian cultures, they pack their individual dresses in plastic or paper bags after ironing. Among the other things, this protects your clothes from accumulating smell. When they venture outside, they wear their outside dress.

No. We all in the subcontient are very used to spice smell that it does not register till it is very hard. Same goes to our taste. Mild tastes always seems bland to us.

That being said, leaving konkanis, Goans and Mumbaikar; we are not use to sea food smell. Long back if you enter mumbai railway station, you can smell fish like smell around there.

thats not for smell. its to protect the clothes from accumulating creases or losing its crisp-ness. also good for when you need to bring a suit somewhere and want to protect it from getting dirty

Bro, if are still looking for a job, here is an idea for you:


You should start a training academy where you teach white people's culture to new immigrants. I know one can't learn unless s/t/he/y "was born into it" but one could try. There is a lot of money to be made in this.

Or I might tell them the story of a foreigner getting pissed at westerners because they're not gonna pretend he's a western.
