    My coworker pal is from there and she says if random local people invite you for dinner or tea, you should just go, because they’re that hospitable. I think that’s amazing. I will visit someday!

      Honestly, yes. We’re a strange folk. That’s not as common in the city though. Like almost non-existent. But outside in the smaller towns? 100%. I’d highly recommend watching the play ‘Come From Away’. AppleTV+ did a taping of it. It uses Newfie music styles to talk about all the planes that landed in Gander during 9/11. The focus is on the people, not the events of 9/11. People in a new land going “What the fuck are these people saying”. It’s a joyous romp.

        East Coast music in general is awesome; have you heard of Cassie and Maggie? My favourite Christmas music ever. I will watch the play for sure!
