Reaction Vlog: revisiting my hometown with Google Maps





Stay for a little story-time with Kitty..
I really wanted to go to Europe this year but unfortunately other things came up and my mom ended up going and I haven't been back for 19 years, since i came to Canada in Feb. 20, 2000
So I decided to check it out by using Google Maps and I was really surprised on the changes but also just feeling so nostalgic about it, and how i could revisit a bit of my childhood.
I'm glad that Google maps did this project and it's really interesting to visit places that haven't been seen for a long time.

Yes, i threw snowballs into someone's house.. not sure why but it was someone's idea and i just helped in the making of the snowball ammunition.. lol, we were naughty kids..

Also that red fence by the kindergarten used to have blackberries growing over it and we always tried to climb it to reach the bigger ones (they grow bigger at the top) so most of our childhood revolved around stealing fruit from other people's gardens or from certain areas that could be trespassed in.

The house across from my building had a German shepherd dog and it crawled out from underneath the wooden fence, and a lady that happened to walk by (we tried to warn her not to go that way) she saw us too late and got scared and we think the dog sensed it, so it bit her at the ankle, she screamed and the owner came out, it was a whole ordeal to get her have stitches and so on, i think they drove her to ambulance, but the dog was not put down. So it was terrifying to walk by there and we always kept an eye out for the dog in case it escapes again, but it could've bitten a child or anyone else :( the girl was really badly hurt but we couldn't help cause we didn't want to get attacked so we shouted for other ppl and for the neighbor to come out! (there is no "call 911" thing when I was growing up, i didn't even know the police phone number)

I also heard that some kids can get abducted and sold by the gypsies so anytime we seen gypsy kids or people, we literally ran away (and i also almost got abducted but my friend yelled so loud, she scared them away) so it wasn't the best place to grow up in, it's one of those fight-your-way-out to stay alive, and having my brother with me most of the time has kept us both safe.
You have to watch out for pick-pocketers and theives who are sometimes just homeless kids and they will steal something from you in plain sight and run away (not sure if that has changed at all but I wouldn't wear anything valuable outside)

Let me know what you guys think, should I do more of this?
