Good! As long as you stay positive, there should be no problem!

People used to tell me Hamilton is sketchy downtown and I hear about not so great stuff about the city but I still think Hamilton is way safer then Manila. I had the chance to live downtown for a bit, it's not that bad as people say it is. Just be aware of your surroundings (I've had homeless people come up to me and ask for spare change but I ignore them) and you'll be fine.

Hey guys!

Were you around the year T.O. had to call the army in for the snowstorm? The day it came down, I had to work, and my buddy who gave me a lift got his car stuck in the middle of an intersection when he slowed down to turn. There was just too much snow to move.
