如果是North Street 那家，电话有时要等很久才有人接听的。我有时跟家庭医生Make An Appointment，偶尔几次是要等很久的。你同事可以跟他媳妇的家庭医生要求，把他加进去的。7， 谢谢哈哥。 我同事说打了一次，然后当时没有人接电话，后来就忘记打了。他说他估计很快就满了，来不及了。 我看他就是觉得可以蹭他媳妇的家庭医生。我不管他了。 下次我跟他们一起玩的时候，我去找他媳妇说他坏话。

歪楼吧，针对楼主的问题，我抛砖引玉一下
１我不是在NS 读书。毕业工作， 发现很多同事或者各种场合认识的人本科或者研究生或者博士毕业于Dalhousie University. 他们学什么专业的都有。从计算机到医学，从文学到物理。
２这个我不知道。我家现在还木有小朋友啊。
３Clayton Park or bedfore 都是性价比比较高，生活交通便利，有新的house, townhouse, or condo/apartment，很受欢迎的区域。租房的网站我不大清楚，买卖房的 https://www.realtor.ca/explore-canada/nova-scotia/halifax-real-estate
４这个城市木有地铁，尤其你有宝宝和老人，我个人觉得有车会便利很多，即使你住在学校旁边
５ESL 我木有参加过。 我刚刚谷歌一下， https://www.dal.ca/faculty/cce/programs/english-as-a-second-language.html Dalhousie是有这个项目，但是我觉得不便宜。 http://www.isans.ca/ 这个政府机构提供各种免费的学英语的各种级别的课程，学习本地文化，了解各种生活小知识的讲座。 移民都是免费参加，但是我不知道阿姨可不以，如果阿姨不是移民的话。如果阿姨也是的话，在这里肯定免费学英语没有问题。
６我不清楚现在的移民政策
７这个省的家庭医生比较难找，登陆就可以排队，或者听到哪个家庭医生收新病人，立刻冲上去
夏天挺舒服凉快，冬天的天气比较抽风，上周有一天最高零下１１度，昨天晚上还零上１０度，今天５度，各种不可预测。
你要知道春节哪里有好吃的，好玩的，中国店韩国店来了什么特别的，通报一下啊!
过年了，比较关心这些现在。
NS 分七个行政区。 Halifax是最大的区，其他的有Sydney，Kentville, Truro,Liverpool,Shelburne ,Yamouth. 我去过Sydney,Truro,Liverpool, Yamouth. 我住在哈法已经8年。如果想往美国发展，住在yamouth、Sydney都很好，Sydney 有超过10家中餐馆，除了哈法，那里是华人最多的地方，我去的时候曾经看到一家房屋交易中心挂着中文的招牌。Yamouth夏天有轮渡直接通美国portland。直接有海关办理出入境手续。 如果退了休，想养老，Liverpool 是个不错的地方， 我去的时候是夏天，听到他们那里的乡村民歌，参观过一位加拿大有名的作家的故居，当然，养老还有一个好地方，布雷顿角。Truros是个小镇离哈法比较近，这个地方出名的原因就是有一个火车站。 有关哈法，前面两位哈法通已经介绍得很详细了，我只补充一点，来这里一定要带雨衣，因为风很大，伞撑不住。我曾经买过一把伞箍很粗壮的大伞，但是，遇到大风伞箍照样变形。现在哈法的公交比我刚来时发展壮大了，第一等车时间短了。第二路线加长了。还有一点哈法的华人比以前增多了，华人自己办了一份报纸，叫打开加东，在华人超市可以看到。以前我刚来的时候，银行没有华人服务，现在不仅银行有华人服务，移民局都有华人服务，还有报税也有华人服务了。有一个专门的华人网——华缘网。最明显的变化：在Quinpool Road, 一家西人开的面包房，竟然在橱窗上写上“面包”两个汉字。所以，你母亲来这里不会英文也不必担心， 有什么需要帮助的，我又回到Superstore工作了，可以来店里找我。我们店有两位中国人，一个是我，另一个叫Bill, 他在NSCC学完电脑课程，没找到对口工作，现在在店里收银。我们这家商店就在Quinpool road上。 学英语有很多地方都是免费。YMCA、ESL学校、ISSNS、图书馆，其中图书馆那个最好，是1对1学习，我刚来哈法时，就是在图书馆认识了一位教英语的老师，我从她那里受益匪浅。2017年我的诗集出版我还送给她一本。因为，我开始写英文诗就是因为她送给我一本罗伯特.弗罗斯特的诗集从中收到启发开始写的。而且她对我的英语提高有很大帮助。也是我运气好，她本身就是退休教师， 她会好几种语言，我跟她学了好几年英文，最后她竟然想学中文了。这里的Daycare到处都是，我家附近就有一家，我没问费用。 我家离市区不算太远、也不算太近。估计比市中心能便宜点。这里的人非常nice， 非常友好，很喜欢聊天， 我每天上下班在车站等车那么一会儿功夫，都有人聊天。治安状况，以跨海大桥为界，桥这边的halifak要比桥对面的dartmouth好。 当然，halifax也有相对来讲不太好的区 Fairview，Spryfield，以及靠近大桥的那几个区。 但是租金，房价都比其他区要便宜。Bedford现在是哈法华人比较集中的新区。以前没有公交车，现在有了公交车90路，还有一条快车（express Bus，周六、周日停开） ，出行也很方便了。租金、房价最贵的还是在校园区附近。至于大学，这里最有名的就是Dalhousie,读硕士还是这所大学最好。基本就这些吧。若再有问题可以随时联系。
。@AMG12 传球给你，你顶着锅又把球传给我，我一不留神，球跑到爪哇国了！
说实话来这么多年，还真没过过春节。领导最高指示：天天都是在过春节。
拿省华人協会近几年都有举办春节晚宴，不过我一次也没去过：

今天请假参加一个月一度的哈法读诗会，我今天读的诗是 A bird standing on a January tree. 我用诗的语言讲述了地球磁极倒转将会令这一期文明消失，然后，原来埋在海底的上一期文明会出现。人类文明就如世尊所言：成住坏空，一直这样延续。我和他们説我现在只观两类人，一类是儿童，一类是老人，因为观儿童可以看到成住是瞬间站住， 观老人会看到坏空也是瞬间变空。 我给他们説人类再过10年将走进一个被AI取代的时代，但是，因为人类有思想，可以写作，所以，AI想完全打败人类还需要一个漫长的时间。 我最后跟他们説我非常喜欢参加每月一度的读诗会，在这里可以听到每一位诗人的声音，挣钱固然重要，但玩诗就我而言要超过挣钱！所以，每个月我都会请假来这里。但是，我不会每个月放弃周日的工作去佛堂念佛！因为我知道我现在周日在做的工作就是在实行佛法！所以，我没必要削足适履！
今天哈法这家诗歌协会， Open heart forgery 又录用了我一首诗，这次写的是俳句诗。 贴在这里。我今天念了两首我的诗，一首是 A bird standing on a January tree. 另一首是 An invisible shadow 贴在这里，希望懂英文的多提意见！
Quiet Blue
Haiku by David Du
Dove pillows the sky
look at the river under its body
Run blue silk ribbon
这首诗是他们录用的。
An invisible shadow
By David Du
When you open your kitchen cabinet, and pick up a package of noddles,
you find a small hole there.
you realize an invisible shadow is surrounding you.
you wonder how the shadow could have run into the caabinet,
because ther's no gap leading any shadow to come in.
You start considering how to take off the shadow...
You look around, unfortunately you can't find the shadow,
because in this room of yours is no sunshine.
But you also think, maybe this is a special shadow that likes a room without sunshine.
you hate this kind of shadow, but you have to accept the truth:
right now you have to come with him,
though you totally dislike him.
you have an idea: you want to buy something that can break up the shadow.
However you realize this is so rediculous!
because you never know when or where the shadow shows up.
So you only have one choice: remove your food from all dark places
And put it in the sunshine, in a metal box.
you believe the shadow never can pierce the metal.
the unique place that can bathe the sunshine in your house is the balcony or deck.
But it's very miserable to leave the food out of your room.
suddenly you change your mind:
maybe you put the food in a metal box where you can see the invisible shadow show up
and you can figth the shadow!
So you prepare the weapon: a broom, you believe only the broom can remove the shadow.
Finally you feel very disappointed,
the shadow no longer shows up,
your foods dislike their metal box,
they all feel it's lake a stay in a jail.
A bird standing on a January tree
by David Du
A bird is standing on a tree.
the tree's branch has sprouted soft red buds.
The bird stops twittering.
or maybe his sound has melted into the sky.
Look back, all the snow shouts down his performance,
The streetrecovers its old appearance-
Dirty grey colors spread to the horizon...
If you don't see the maple leaves flag at an opposite building,
you don't think you have been in a place that should have
extreme cold and snow banks in January.
suddenly you think of a very ridiculous story- that the North Pole and South Pole
will turnover.
Actually when you see the bird look at you,
Its body not even shaking or trembing,
You have a feeling:
Oh My... this is not a ridiculous story.
The step of channge has approached you ,
Gradually, Gradually.
说实话，今天又有当地诗友问我一个以前问过无数遍的问题：你写英文诗是先写中文再翻英文吗？我説：不是，从来没做过，我写英文诗的时候是把自己当成一个外国人，一个英语为第一语言的人来写的!他们説很羡慕你一个英语为非母语的人能写英文诗。我説，这很正常，我在加拿大已经呆了10年了，英文还是一塌糊涂那就不是移民了！

说实话，今天又有当地诗友问我一个以前问过无数遍的问题：你写英文诗是先写中文再翻英文吗？我説：不是，从来没做过，我写英文诗的时候是把自己当成一个外国人，一个英语为第一语言的人来写的!他们説很羡慕你一个英语为非母语的人能写英文诗。我説，这很正常，我在加拿大已经呆了10年了，英文还是一塌糊涂那就不是移民了！
不会吧，别过谦！
昨天在读诗会上有人问我，你来加拿大学过英文诗写法吗？我説没系统学过，我的英文基本属于自学吧，当然我在图书馆认识的那位英语老师对我在加拿大写英文诗帮助很大。 今天能出书，与她当年给我那本英文版的罗伯特.弗罗斯特的诗集有很大关系。也与我与她的英文诗交流有很大关系。除了她之外，还有一位哈法当地的诗人对我的帮助也很大。这位诗人是当初买我的诗集，我们认识的。现在成了好朋友。现在他在跟我学中文， 我在跟他学英语。都是从诗歌开始。我给他翻译中国古诗，然后教他念中国古诗。他则教我英文诗的写作技巧。当然还有一点也很重要就是在NSCC学了1年半英文。
今天在老人院上班，我念了我写的另一首诗， A very comfortable feeling。 有一位老人很喜欢听我念给她诗。还有人以为我是年轻时就生长在加拿大的。我没説我是45岁来加拿大才开始正经八景学英语，我也没说英语不是我的第二语言。有护士问我在国内的背景，我告诉他们我在国内是照顾老人的。 我知道这个老人院有一位现在在干护工的中国同胞，他在国内是医生！ 所以，我想想自己在国内也没啥专业（日语在加拿大不算专业）能有现在这份工（不需出很多力，只是帮老人们收拾一下床铺、帮一些不能吃饭的老人进餐，）大部分时间是和老人们聊天我已经很满足了。当然，这也应该感谢上次那家老人的家属投诉我，不然，现在想干这份工都干不成。所以，很多时候是福祸相依的。
