We don’t have winter clothes. What should we do if we are visiting in winter?
If your stay is relatively short you can likely survive with several layers of sweaters. If your stay will be longer you can get modestly priced winter clothing at our nearby Winners store where you could probably be reasonably outfitted for $200-$300.

How expensive are international phone calls from Canada?
You can buy special phone cards at the convenience stores for $5 or $10 for international calling. With these cards the cost can be as low as 3 cents per minute to the USA or up to 20 cents per minute for less common destinations. We can help you get a phone card once you arrive.
