She likes going by Shara, and according to my mommy, she's done that since High School. <br /><br />My mom, Shara, lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Don't know where that is? Look at a map of the United States, there's a state on the top right hand side (east) called 'Maine'. To the right (east) of that is a little part of Canada that hangs down, that's Nova Scotia.<br /><br /><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/InariKitsune/Alyze%20project/political_eng.jpg"><br /><br />In Canada, they don't have states, they are made up of Provinces and Territories, and, although they have almost as much space as us in the United States (maybe more?) they only have 10 Provinces and 3 Territories. To get to Nova Scotia from Elyria, Ohio, I have to travel through Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick.<br /><br />Canada has two official languages, English and French. <br /><br />I'll be in Halifax today! I'm so excited!
