Gareth and Danya are two recent arrivals from Canada who have settled in Van Nuys. They are allegedly from Winnipeg, Manitoba and describe themselves as avid readers. They have some hilarious observations about life in Los Angeles, including this one about parents here:

“The library was connected to a “Child Development Center”. People in Los Angeles seem to be overly interested in the development of their children. People live vicariously through their kids to a degree that I’ve never seen in Canada. In the US since college is more of a privilege and WAY more expensive than Canada and it seems like your whole life revolves around getting into college, even at a very young age. Every single minivan you see has a sticker that says something annoying like “My Child is an Honor Student at I.M. Greedy Middle School”. I say let kids be kids. I would settle for “My Child Hasn’t Done Drugs Yet!”.”
