Here's part 2 of my Mandarin learning journey. For part 1, go here.
After I left university in 2003, I started working in an office. I was able to scrape together enough money to travel to China for 6 weeks in 2005.
I was 25 years old when I went to China for the first time in October-November 2005. I was traveling on my own, and I really didn't have much money, so it was the backpacking type of travel.
I started in Hong Kong, in Chungking Mansions. Then stayed with a friend of a friend in Guangzhou. Then I bussed to Yangshuo, Guangxi province; then an overnight train to Kunming, Yunnan province. Then buses to Dali and then Lijiang in Yunnan. Then back to Kunming, and then a 36-hour train ride back to Guangzhou (this was before high-speed rail in China), and then finally back to HK for a final week.
This was before smartphones and social media. It was the era of internet cafes in China - that was the only way you could get online. It was also before the Great Firewall (China banned Google in 2010). I kept in touch with my family and friends through email, long-distance phone cards, and Livejournal. My posts are still up, actually (that's the first one; you can use the navigation arrows to go to the next one).
My only way of looking up Chinese vocab when I was there was my Oxford Chinese-English dictionary, which as you can imagine is extremely limited! So I had lots of experiences where I embarrassed the heck out of myself and/or was simply not able to get my point across or understand what someone was saying to me. But that's also just learning a second language. Your skin gets thicker the more you do it. There were plenty of times where I was speaking to people who didn't know any English (see: literally 99% of the people on the train), so I just had to muddle through.
Being a white foreigner obviously helps - most people were pretty curious and friendly. When I was in Lijiang (where there were a ton of Chinese tour groups and hardly any foreigners), people wanted to take their picture with me.
I could say plenty more about this trip, but this is about my Mandarin learning journey. You can go read my account of it on Livejournal if you like. Keep in mind it's my PoV from 2005.
When I came back to Canada, I worked in the same office for about a year until I got totally sick of it, and then I became a bike courier for 9 months. This is relevant to the story. Being a bike courier affords you a lot of freedom, but it's physically tough and the pay is terrible. So I started applying for office jobs again, and I eventually got hired as a receptionist for a woman who was a notary public and immigration consultant. The reason she hired me is because I could speak Mandarin.
So, I worked as a receptionist/legal assistant at that office from 2007 to 2013 using my shitty Mandarin every day. My boss was from Taiwan and had originally been a paralegal at an immigration lawyer's office, until she started her own notary and immigration consulting practice. She was also a certified Chinese-English translator. So, the whole reason I'm a paralegal today is because this one lady wanted a receptionist who spoke fluent English and also understood some Chinese.
There were some really great things and really terrible things about that job. The good: I got to use Chinese every day, I learned how to be a legal assistant (notaries in my province can handle real estate transactions and prepare Wills and Powers of Attorney, and immigration consultants represent immigrants to Canada and prepare and submit their applications), and I got to do some simple translations because she was also a certified translator. I also gained a very rudimentary ability to read some traditional Chinese. Most of our clients were from the Mainland, though, not Taiwan.
The bad things: the pay was terrible (I started at $12/hour and ended at $18/hour, and by the end I was fully doing paralegal-level work - at my current job, I make about $42/hour now before taxes!), during the 2008 economic crash my boss had to cut my hours to 4 days/week because she lost a bunch of money in the stock market, and my boss was a tyrant. She scolded me a lot, and I'd often get in trouble for reasons that totally mystified me. I'm sure some of it was cultural, but I also think she was just unnecessarily harsh a lot of the time.
I knew someone who worked at a big law firm who tried to get me hired there, but their HR said I needed to get a legal assistant certificate, so I eventually went to school for 8 months full-time to get that, and then I got hired at my current law firm. I've been working at my current law firm since 2013.
The drawback for my Chinese learning at my current firm is that it's a legitimate mid-size law firm. There are about 45 lawyers. So everything has to be super professional, which means even though I speak some Chinese, I can't use my busted-ass Mandarin with clients. I know very little legal terminology, so anytime a lawyer wants someone to interpret, I can't really do that. Plus, it's Vancouver, so there are already some legal assistants at my firm who are actually fluent in Chinese who can do proper interpreting.
So, Chinese went back to being my hobby. That meant that there were ebbs and flows. I remember watching The Legend of Zhen Huan (Empresses in the Palace) in about 2015 when there was a super edited version of it on Netflix, and I got into it enough that I found the original series with English subs on some streaming site like Dramacool/Kissasian/its equivalent and watched the whole thing. After that, I watched the first half of Nirvana in Fire before something else grabbed my attention - eventually I need to watch that entire series! I remember learning a bunch of guzhuang vocabulary from those series that I hadn't heard before, like concubines referring to themselves as 奴婢, and people saying 陛下息怒 when the emperor was angry.
But what really happened is that my Chinese languished for quite a while. In 2017 I started planning a trip to Japan that I'd eventually take in 2019, and I started studying Japanese on Duolingo and then Lingodeer. I also discovered Skritter at that time, and used it to practice kanji, which of course I already had a huge head-start on because of Chinese. And I gotta say, even though Japanese has a very complicated writing system, it is SO MUCH easier to learn than Chinese, at least in my experience.
Then the pandemic hit, and I'm a white girl on Tumblr with an interest in Asian culture and a Netflix subscription, so what happened next was - you guessed it - in early 2021, I watched The Untamed for the first time. And when I finished it, I rewatched it again. And then I fell down that entire rabbit hole.
And as ridiculous as it is, The Untamed is what fully reignited my Chinese learning so that I'm at the point today where I've learned about 2900 Chinese characters, and I can watch Liu Yuning's livestream and understand about 75% of it. But let's leave that for the next part of this long-ass story.

Progression: Chapter 26 Preview
“Try not to talk unless you absolutely have to,” Tankhun tells Arm as he straightens Arm's shirt collar, “If you do, just stick to the basics of the truth: You bonded with me after we were both traumatized by the attack he spurred on, and we fell in love.”
“So imply that this never would have happened if it weren't for him,” Arm says.
“Exactly!” Tankhun says agreeably, then rolls his eyes and decides to be more serious, “No, but it's sort of the truth. I might resort to using it if needed. Just keep it honest but vague. I have only improved and become more productive while in this relationship, and you took on Chan’s responsibilities, all while continuing your previous duties. He should be grateful, if anything.”
Arm breathes out and nods, then puts his arms around Tankhun’s shoulders, “Malai got to Hansa’s house okay. She says she is willing to talk about how present you have been with the girls and that you are one of the few people she would trust to leave them with.”
“That's sweet of her to say,” Tankhun murmurs.
“It's sweet, and also true. She means it,” Arm tells him, “She also mentioned something else to me.”
“And what was that?”
“Something about you studying for the last two trainings and certifications you would need to get your law license?”
Tankhun shrugs at that, “Hm. She's a paralegal. She has been thinking about taking that step too. I figured if we got certified as lawyers together, it may convince her to move to back to Bangkok. Maybe we’ll open a practice together.”
Arm smiles a little at that and pulls him closer, “And that's something you want? You aren't pushing yourself into a career to…I don't know, prove a point.”
Tankhun shrugs, “Maybe a little. But…I actually did enjoy it when I was enrolled in college. I graduated at the top of my class despite only going to campus when it was absolutely necessary. Even before that, Pa had me take care of Ma’s estate. While things were tense between our families by the time Auntie Milan died, I reached out to Uncle Gun to see if he wanted me to help with anything in that regard too! I was even willing to leave the compound in order to help!”
“Did he let you?”
Tankhun lets out a huff, “No. He yelled at me and said Pa was putting me up to some sneaky agenda. That wasn't true at all, but I understood why he may think that way and just let the matter go. But I have been known to walk some of the guards through their wills and estate paperwork we give them. I helped Pol, Porsche, Ken, Big, Pete, First, Sand, and even Chan when he came into some money and wanted to make some adjustments!”
“Why didn't I know about this? You never offered to walk me through that paperwork,” Arm says, narrowing his eyes a little.
“Because you're the smartest one here, Arm! You don't need my help with such things!”
“It was complicated!” Arm says, “I kept putting it off and your father annoyed me about it.”
“Well, you should have said something!” Tankhun says to him, “I figured if you could understand complex technology, you could figure out paper.”
“I could have, but it was repetitive, monotonous, and annoying.”
“How dare you!” Tankhun says with a gasp, “That was a huge improvement compared to the system we had before! I set it up myself!”
“Malai was impressed with it too. She said she has seen more complicated paperwork after I gave it to her to handle.”
“She's smart!” Tankhun agrees, “That's why we are going to open a practice together! I'm thinking we will focus on real estate law, financial law, and estate law. Contracts, wills, investments, contracts, and securing business loans are simple. Neither of us want to go to stupid court rooms if we can avoid it.”
“I figured you would love the drama that a courtroom could bring,” Arm says.
Tankhun rolls his eyes, “The drama, sure. But the stupidity and self-importance? Please. Do you know how grating it is to argue with people who are completely wrong or flat out lying and act like they're not? So annoying! I can spend my time doing better things. Like you.”
Arm lets out a snort, only for Tankhun to cut it off with a kiss. While Tankhun has some conflicting feelings about finishing up the trainings he will need to officially become a lawyer, it mainly stems from anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. But Tankhun knows that some of those feelings stem from Pa. Then again, Pa pushed him to get a college education. It was important to maintain appearances, but it also gave Tankhun something to do and something to stimulate his mind. Even though the major was strongly suggested to him by Pa and his advisors, he had known the reason behind it. He excelled in finding loopholes and suspicious wording in contract agreements. He also excels at keeping track of finances, growing wealth, and making good investment decisions. So it was either law, or it was business and finance. Law felt like it was more widespread. Tankhun had felt like he could maybe help people more as a lawyer, both rich and poor, rather than just advising Pa’s rich friends on what to do with their money.
Besides, as annoying as the thought of being in a courtroom is, it would be more annoying to solely help Pa and his associates get richer while Tankhun’s money gets stored away in an account he only has limited access to.
Of course, Tankhun has other ways to make money. He has built upon his finances through investing in stocks, bonds, and promising start-ups for quite some time, before Arm even started working here. But Tankhun plans on keeping that private for now. He had pondered revealing his long-term side hustles to Kim if his little brother's restrictions went on much longer, but maybe Tankhun can be an inspiration this way. He can become independent. He can pursue a career that may end up being a passion if he is on that track with someone he trusts. But most of all, he can be strong and stand up to his father for the man he loves.
He just needs to present himself differently than he has for the past twelve years. Tankhun knows he has changed a lot. Untreated trauma, long-term defiance, and being controlled, belittled, and gaslighted by a parent does that to a person.
Despite all of that, Tankhun still loves Pa. He hates that he still loves him, especially when he remembers everything Namphueng was put through. She only partially came back to her former self recently, or some version of it. Tankhun needs to do the same. He needs to revive his former self.
His former self feels like such a stranger. He had been calmer and more collected back then, trained to push aside his tendency to become distracted or his feelings of restlessness in favor of becoming someone simultaneously approachable and intimidating. He was taught to be intelligent, but easy to understand. He was trained to be powerful, all while exuding a sense of calm. But most importantly, he had to prove himself by being equally sharp with his wit, tongue, and aim.
He had been so fucking sharp.
“You alright?” Arm asks gently, taking Tankhun's face into his hands.
Does he want to be that person again? Part of him wants anything but that. He feels a sense of pride at being Pa’s source of shame, although the occasional yet genuine concern and pity are negative side effects.
But he also yearns for it. Not necessarily for his birthright as the head, but for the opportunity to be who he had been before.
“...I’m okay,” Tankhun says hesitantly, then takes his boyfriend's hands, “But…If I change a bit going forward, will you still love me?”
Arm tilts his head at that, “What do you mean?”
Tankhun breathes in, “I was…very different prior to my kidnapping. The person who you have gotten to know is…mostly genuine. But I…There are probably aspects of myself I have hidden or amplified I may adjust now that I am to be more transparent with Pa. I think this is the best way to go about this. It will take him off guard, but it may…please him or confuse him enough to back off. I don't know what I'm saying-”
“As long as any changes or adjustments make you happy, I am fine with it,” Arm cuts in gently, “But only if you are doing it for you. Not for your father, not for your brothers, and not even for me. You. As long as I can still recognize you, I will still be in love with you.”
Tankhun feels his eyes get wet, only to sniffle when Arm quickly wipes the moisture away, “...I was so different, Arm.”
“I’ve heard stories.”
“I was supposed to be great.”
“You are,” Arm says, cupping his face, “You always have been. I never thought otherwise, even on your worst days. Your trauma may have changed you, but it didn't take away your greatness, Khun.”
Tankhun would like to believe that. He isn't sure that he does, but Arm’s optimism is encouraging.
“...I will become a hybrid version of me, then,” Tankhun decides, “I will keep your favorite parts of me-”
“That's pretty much every part.”
“But let the favorite parts of who I used to be come back out,” Tankhun continues, “Parts I hope you will like too.”
“As long as you aren't trying to pretend to be someone you're not, then I'm fine with it,” Arm tells him. He sounds sincere, so Tankhun feels at peace with his decision. In fact, he already feels a shift occurring, as if Arm's blessing was all he needed.
Now, he just needs his father's blessing. This is his best shot at getting it. The only other option Tankhun could think of as he was mulling this over in his head was a move so defiant and bold that it would leave Pa completely clueless about what to do, at least in the moment.
However, Tankhun would prefer to not propose to Arm in front of Pa, despite it being slightly tempting. His boyfriend deserves something more private, romantic, and authentic. The ring Tankhun carefully picked out eight months ago will continue to stay hidden in his desk drawer.
At least for now.

The Top Mistakes Buyers Make When Purchasing Property in Kenya
Investing in real estate is one of the most significant decisions a person can make. With Kenya's growing property market offering everything from luxury apartments in Nairobi’s prime locations to affordable housing in emerging suburbs, buyers have a wealth of options to choose from. However, the process of buying property isn’t always straightforward, and mistakes can be costly. Whether you're considering an apartment for sale in Kenya or a specific location like Syokimau, Lavington, Kilimani, or Westlands, understanding the potential pitfalls is crucial.
This guide highlights the most common mistakes buyers make when purchasing property in Kenya and how to avoid them.
1. Failing to Conduct Proper Market Research
Before buying any property, conducting market research is essential. Many buyers rush into purchasing an apartment for sale in Nairobi without fully understanding market trends or price fluctuations.
What You Should Do:
Study the property values in areas like Westlands, Lavington, and Kilimani to understand what constitutes a fair price.
Compare properties in Nairobi’s suburbs, such as an apartment for sale in Syokimau, to ensure you’re getting value for your money.
2. Ignoring Location Considerations
One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is prioritizing the property over its location. The area you choose directly affects the value of your investment, convenience, and potential returns.
Common Oversights:
Choosing a property far from essential amenities like schools, hospitals, or transport links.
Overlooking security concerns in certain neighborhoods.
What You Should Do:
Evaluate the area’s accessibility, infrastructure, and future development plans. For instance:
Westlands is ideal for high-end living with access to business hubs.
Syokimau offers affordability while benefiting from proximity to Nairobi’s central business district (CBD) via the Nairobi Expressway.
3. Skipping a Professional Property Inspection
A visual inspection of a property might not reveal hidden issues such as structural problems, faulty plumbing, or electrical faults. Buyers often forgo professional inspections, leading to expensive repairs later.
What You Should Do:
Hire a certified inspector to examine the property thoroughly, whether it’s an apartment for sale in Lavington or a newly built unit in Kilimani.
4. Overlooking Legal Due Diligence
The Kenyan real estate market has had its share of fraudulent transactions. Many buyers fail to verify the legal status of a property, resulting in disputes or losses.
Common Mistakes:
Failing to confirm property ownership.
Not checking whether the property has pending loans or disputes.
What You Should Do:
Work with a reputable lawyer to conduct a title deed search at the Ministry of Lands.
Ensure the property is free of encumbrances before proceeding with the purchase.
5. Neglecting to Budget for Additional Costs
First-time buyers often focus solely on the property’s asking price, forgetting additional costs like legal fees, stamp duty, and agent commissions.
What You Should Do:
Prepare for costs such as:
Stamp Duty: Ranges from 2% to 4% of the property’s value.
Legal Fees: Typically 1.5% of the purchase price.
Miscellaneous costs, such as inspection fees and valuation charges.
6. Relying Solely on Real Estate Agents
While agents play a valuable role, placing complete trust in them without doing your own research can lead to poor decisions. Some unscrupulous agents may prioritize their commissions over your interests.
What You Should Do:
Verify information provided by the agent, especially for properties like an apartment for sale in Nairobi or Westlands.
Work with licensed and experienced agents to avoid scams.
7. Underestimating Future Maintenance Costs
Buying property comes with ongoing maintenance costs that buyers often underestimate. This is especially true for apartments in upscale areas like Kilimani or Lavington, where service charges can be high.
What You Should Do:
Request a breakdown of service charges and maintenance fees before buying.
Budget for future repairs and upgrades to ensure your property remains in top condition.
8. Not Considering Financing Options Carefully
Many buyers rush into home loans or mortgages without fully understanding the terms. Choosing the wrong financing option can lead to financial strain.
What You Should Do:
Compare interest rates and repayment terms from various lenders.
Consider alternatives like rent-to-own agreements, particularly for properties in Syokimau or Lavington.
9. Failing to Plan for Resale or Rental Potential
Some buyers focus solely on their immediate needs without considering a property’s long-term potential. This mistake can limit future opportunities for profit.
What You Should Do:
For rental income, invest in areas like Westlands, where demand is high.
Ensure properties in Kilimani or Syokimau are located in areas with good growth prospects for appreciation.
10. Rushing the Buying Process
Buying property is a significant investment, yet some buyers rush the process due to excitement or pressure from sellers. This often leads to poor decisions.
What You Should Do:
Take your time to evaluate multiple properties.
Consult professionals and trusted advisors before making a final decision.
11. Forgetting to Factor in Lifestyle Needs
Not all properties suit every buyer’s lifestyle. Some overlook their daily needs, such as proximity to work, schools, or recreational facilities.
What You Should Do:
If you have a family, consider an apartment for sale in Lavington or Kilimani, which offer excellent schools and family-friendly amenities.
For professionals, Westlands provides easy access to offices and nightlife.
Conclusion: Making Smart Real Estate Decisions in Kenya
Purchasing property in Kenya, whether an apartment for sale in Nairobi or an affordable unit in Syokimau, is a rewarding investment if done correctly. By avoiding these common mistakes—such as neglecting due diligence, underestimating costs, or rushing the process—you can ensure a smooth and profitable experience.
Work with trusted professionals like RentScore, conduct thorough research, and choose locations like Lavington, Kilimani, or Westlands that align with your financial and lifestyle goals. With the right approach, your real estate purchase will be a stepping stone toward long-term wealth and satisfaction. Need help?

Top Tips For Choosing The Best Real Estate Agent In Vrindavan
Vrindavan, a city known for its spiritual calm, is also becoming a growing place for real estate property opportunities. From peaceful homes to exciting business options, the city's property for-sale market has many choices. Picking the right real estate company is key to making the process easier and more confident. Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the best real estate agent for your needs.
Understand the Local Market
The real estate in Vrindavan market mixes traditional charm with modern needs. Being close to famous temples and spiritual sites often affects the demand and value of villas, apartments, and flats in Vrindavan. A local agent who knows the area well can give you helpful advice. They can help you understand things like local laws or which areas are growing in value.
Verify Credentials and Licensing
A certified real estate agent shows they are professional and follow the law. Make sure the agent is registered with the right authorities and has all the proper certifications. You can ask for proof and check with local officials if needed. This step helps protect you from fraud and makes sure your transactions are legal.
Evaluate Experience and Track Record
Experience is very important in the real estate property business. An agent who has managed many deals and worked through market changes is more reliable. In Vrindavan, agents who have worked with both residential and spiritual properties can understand the market’s special needs.
Seek Recommendations and Testimonials
Getting advice from friends, family, or colleagues can help you find a good agent. Online reviews and testimonials can also give you an honest view. Look for praise about how reliable, quick to respond, and knowledgeable the agent is.
Assess Communication Skills
Good communication is a key trait of a good real estate agent. They should listen to your needs, keep you updated, and answer your questions. If an agent takes too long to respond or gives unclear answers, it could make your dealings with real estate property harder.
Check the Agent’s Network
An agent with good connections can find opportunities that others might miss. Their relationships with developers, lawyers, and financial experts can make the process smoother. They might also know about special listings that are not on the market, which is important in the busy real estate in Vrindavan market.
Compare Fees and Commission Rates
It’s important to understand the costs of hiring an agent. Most agents charge a fee based on the value of the property for sale. Make sure to talk about fees at the start so there are no surprises. Comparing rates from different agents can help you find the best deal without losing quality.

Request a Customized Strategy
Every real estate property deal is different, and your agent should treat it that way. Ask for a plan that matches your needs, whether you're selling your property fast or finding your dream home. Ideas like virtual tours, focused ads, and staging can help make a big impact.
Trust Your Instincts
While qualifications and experience are important, how you feel about the agent also matters. Trust your feelings when you meet with them. An agent who listens well and makes your needs a priority is likely to help you have a smooth experience.
Conclusion
Choosing the best real estate company or real estate agent in Vrindavan requires research and careful thinking. By focusing on local knowledge, checking credentials, and making sure the agent communicates well, you can make a smart decision.

How Do I Ensure the Plot I Buy in Ambattur is Free from Litigation
Buying a plot of land is a significant decision, and verifying its legal status is a critical step in the process. If you are considering purchasing plots in Ambattur, you need to conduct thorough research to avoid future complications. This article will provide a structured approach to help you confirm that the land is free from litigation.
Verify Ownership Documents
The first step is to review the ownership documents of the plot. Request copies of the title deed and verify that the seller is the legal owner of the land. You can cross-check this information by obtaining certified copies of the documents from the relevant registration office. Ensuring that the title deed is clear and free from any disputes is essential to avoid potential legal issues.
Conduct an Encumbrance Check
An encumbrance certificate provides information about any legal or financial liabilities attached to the plot. This document will help you confirm that the land is not tied to any loans, mortgages, or unresolved disputes. You can obtain the encumbrance certificate from the local sub-registrar’s office or through online portals where available. Make sure to review records for at least the past 15 years to ensure there are no hidden claims.
Verify Zoning and Land Use Approvals
Plots in Ambattur are often part of a planned residential or commercial area. It is vital to check the land’s zoning status to confirm it aligns with your intended use. Obtain the necessary approvals from local municipal authorities to ensure the plot’s classification permits your plans. Additionally, verify that the land is not part of any government acquisition projects or restricted zones.
Cross-Check Legal Clearances
Before making a purchase, verify that the seller has obtained all required legal clearances for the plot. These may include environmental clearances, no-objection certificates (NOCs) from municipal authorities, and approval from the local planning commission. Proper documentation ensures the plot is free from legal complications.
Engage a Legal Expert
Consulting a legal professional is an important step in the buying process. A lawyer with expertise in property laws can help review all documents, identify potential issues, and confirm the authenticity of the paperwork. Their guidance can save you from purchasing disputed or restricted land.
Inspect Tax Records
Checking the property tax records is another crucial step. Ensure that all taxes related to the plot have been paid up to date. Unpaid taxes can result in legal claims against the property. Request copies of the latest tax receipts from the seller and cross-verify them with the local municipal office.
Visit the Site
A physical inspection of the plot can reveal issues that might not be evident in the documentation. During your visit, look for any unauthorized structures or encroachments. Speak with neighboring property owners to gather additional information about the plot’s history and ownership.
Obtain a Legal Report
Finally, consider obtaining a legal opinion from a property advocate. This report will summarize all the findings and confirm whether the plot is clear of any legal disputes. A thorough legal examination can provide peace of mind before finalizing your purchase.
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of purchasing a plot with legal issues. Ambattur is a growing area with promising real estate opportunities, and careful verification will help you make a sound investment in plots in Ambattur.

Understanding Certified Document Copies and When You Need Them
Certified document copies are essential for various official and legal processes. These are official replicas of original documents that have been verified as true and exact copies by a qualified individual or authority. Certified copies play a crucial role in ensuring document authenticity, especially when handling sensitive information like identity documents, academic certificates, financial records, or legal papers. Here’s a closer look at certified document copies, who can certify them, and when they’re commonly needed.
What Is a Certified Document Copy?
A certified document copy is an exact reproduction of an original document that has been authenticated by a certifying authority. This certification process involves a trusted official, often called a certifier, who checks the original document and signs or stamps the copy to confirm that it is a true replica. The certified copy typically includes a declaration stating that the original document has been seen, verified, and accurately reproduced.
Certified document copies are commonly used as substitutes for original documents when these are unavailable, too valuable to risk sending by mail, or when organizations require official documentation but do not need the original file. These certified copies serve as proof that the information on the document is legitimate and unaltered.
Who Can Certify Documents?
The ability to certify a document copy varies depending on the country and the type of document. In most places, a notary public, lawyer, accountant, government official, or other authorized professional can act as a certifier. The individual certifying the copy must meet specific qualifications and may be required to have certain training or licensing.
Certifiers generally verify that they have seen both the original and the copy and that the copy accurately matches the original document. They also usually add their name, title, signature, date, and sometimes a stamp or seal to indicate the document’s authenticity. This verification process gives the recipient confidence that the certified copy is a trustworthy reproduction of the original.
Common Situations Where Certified Copies Are Needed
Certified copies are often required in a range of scenarios where original documents are unavailable or where there are security concerns. Here are a few common examples:
Immigration and Visa Applications: Many immigration processes require certified copies of passports, birth certificates, academic records, and other documents to verify identity and qualifications.
Legal Proceedings: Certified copies of documents like contracts, identification records, and evidence are often required in legal cases to ensure the information is accurate and has been verified by an authorized certifier.
Banking and Financial Transactions: Financial institutions frequently require certified copies of documents for loans, mortgages, or large transactions to prevent fraud and ensure compliance with regulations.
Education and Professional Certification: Students and professionals may need certified copies of diplomas, transcripts, and licenses when applying for schools or jobs, especially in foreign countries.
Real Estate and Property Transactions: Certified document copies are often required when dealing with property transactions, deeds, or mortgage applications to confirm the legitimacy of the involved parties.
How to Obtain Certified Copies
To obtain a certified copy, you must present the original document to an authorized certifier. Depending on local regulations, you may also need to provide identification and, sometimes, a nominal fee for the certifying service. Once the certifier reviews and verifies the original document, they will make a copy, add a certification statement, and sign or stamp the document to complete the process.

SHADPC Tip: How to Choose a Tax Preparer in Canada
When it comes to filing taxes, selecting the right tax preparer in Canada is a critical decision that can save you both time and money. The complexities of the Canadian tax system mean that entrusting this task to a qualified and experienced professional is essential for ensuring accurate and compliant tax filings. At SHADPC, we emphasize that choosing the right tax preparer involves a careful evaluation of qualifications, experience, trustworthiness, and value for money. Here are some key considerations that will help you make an informed choice.
Understanding the Types of Tax Preparers
In Canada, there are different types of professionals who can help you prepare and file your taxes. It is important to know the distinctions to choose the right one for your situation:
Chartered Professional Accountants (CPAs): These professionals are highly qualified and trained to handle complex tax scenarios, business tax filings, and provide strategic financial advice. A CPA is often the best option for small business owners or individuals with complex financial portfolios.
Tax Preparers: While not as qualified as CPAs, many tax preparers have adequate training to file basic personal taxes. They are often more affordable but may lack the in-depth knowledge for complicated tax situations.
Tax Lawyers: For individuals facing audits or legal tax disputes, a tax lawyer is the go-to professional. They can represent you in court and deal with the CRA on your behalf.
When choosing a tax preparer in Canada, understanding their specific qualifications is vital for making the best decision.
Look for Credentials and Qualifications
It is crucial to verify the credentials of your potential tax preparer. Look for individuals or firms with professional certifications such as:
Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation
Certified Financial Planner (CFP)
Enrolled Agent (EA)
A CPA is the gold standard when it comes to tax preparation and financial advice in Canada. Hiring someone with a professional certification ensures that your tax preparer understands the tax laws and regulations applicable to your situation.
Experience Matters
Not all tax situations are the same. If you are a small business owner, freelancer, or investor, you will need a tax preparer experienced in handling more than just standard tax returns. Ask potential tax preparers about their expertise in areas like:
Business tax filings
Corporate tax laws
Investment income taxation
Real estate transactions
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regularly updates tax rules and regulations, so working with a preparer who stays informed on these changes is essential. Experienced professionals will also be adept at maximizing your deductions and credits, ensuring you pay the lowest amount of tax legally possible.
Check Their Reputation
Before choosing a tax preparer, research their reputation. Look for online reviews, client testimonials, or ask for references. You want to ensure that previous clients were satisfied with their services. You can also check if the preparer has any disciplinary actions against them with professional bodies such as the CPA Canada or the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
A tax preparer with a solid reputation will give you peace of mind, knowing that your taxes are in good hands.
Ask About Fees
Tax preparation fees can vary widely depending on the complexity of your tax situation and the preparer’s expertise. It’s important to discuss the fee structure upfront to avoid any surprises. Most preparers will either charge:
A flat fee for basic returns
An hourly rate for more complex filings
Be wary of tax preparers who base their fees on a percentage of your refund. This practice is considered unethical, as it incentivizes preparers to artificially inflate your refund, which could trigger audits or penalties from the CRA.
Inquire About Audit Support
No one wants to face an audit, but it is important to choose a preparer who will stand by you if the CRA questions your return. Make sure your tax preparer offers audit support or representation in case of an audit. While most tax preparers will assist with filing corrections, having someone who will represent you during a CRA audit can be invaluable.
At SHADPC, we offer our clients full support in the unlikely event of an audit, ensuring that you are protected and fully informed throughout the process.
Consider Accessibility and Availability
Tax season is busy, and your tax preparer should be available to answer any questions you have promptly. When choosing a tax preparer, make sure they are accessible and have a reliable communication system in place. Will they be available year-round, or only during tax season? It’s important to choose a preparer who can help you with tax planning throughout the year, not just when the deadline is looming.
Additionally, consider whether they offer remote services. In today’s digital world, many tax preparers provide online consultations and electronic filing services, making it easier and more convenient for clients across Canada.
Look for a Personalized Approach
Every tax situation is unique, and the best tax preparers will take the time to understand your individual circumstances. Avoid preparers who use a cookie-cutter approach or rush through the process. A good preparer will ask you detailed questions about your income, deductions, and financial situation to ensure that you get the best possible outcome.
At SHADPC, we believe in providing a personalized approach to tax preparation, ensuring that every detail is accounted for and your financial goals are supported.
Red Flags to Avoid When Choosing a Tax Preparer
While there are many reputable tax preparers in Canada, it’s important to be aware of some red flags that could indicate potential problems:
Guaranteeing a large refund: No one can guarantee a refund before reviewing your tax information. Be cautious of preparers who make such promises.
Requesting to deposit your refund into their account: Your tax refund should always be deposited directly into your account, not your preparer’s.
Refusing to sign your return or provide their tax preparer identification number (TPIN): Professional tax preparers are required to sign the returns they prepare and include their TPIN. If a preparer refuses to do this, it’s a major warning sign.
Conclusion
Choosing the right tax preparer in Canada is a critical decision that requires careful consideration. By evaluating credentials, experience, reputation, and fees, you can ensure that you find a professional who will not only file your taxes accurately but also provide valuable financial insights.
At SHADPC, we take pride in offering our clients personalized tax services that help them navigate the complexities of the Canadian tax system. We’re here to make tax season stress-free and ensure you’re maximizing your financial opportunities.

What to Know Before Buying Property in Gurugram: A Comprehensive Guide
Gurugram (formerly Gurgaon), located in the state of Haryana, has evolved from being a quiet suburb of Delhi into one of India's most dynamic and prosperous cities. It’s a major hub for multinational corporations, real estate development, and a growing population of young professionals and families looking for a better standard of living. If you're thinking about buying property in Gurugram, whether it's for investment purposes or as a place to live, there are several factors you need to consider before making the leap. This guide will walk you through the key things you should know to make an informed decision.
1. Understand the Location and Connectivity
One of the biggest advantages Gurugram offers is its proximity to Delhi and excellent connectivity to other parts of the National Capital Region (NCR). The city is well-connected through major highways such as the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway (NH-48) and the Dwarka Expressway. The Indira Gandhi International Airport is also just a short drive away, which makes it a convenient location for frequent travelers.
When selecting a property in Gurugram, it’s crucial to assess the specific location and its connectivity to places you frequent, such as your workplace, schools, hospitals, and recreational centers. Areas like Golf Course Road, Sohna Road, and Cyber City are particularly popular among working professionals due to their proximity to major business hubs and the availability of modern residential complexes.
However, connectivity can vary between different sectors. While some areas are well-established with robust infrastructure, others may still be under development, leading to issues like traffic congestion, lack of public transport, and inconsistent road conditions. Research the development plans for your chosen area and ensure that it aligns with your lifestyle needs.
2. Research the Builder’s Reputation
Real estate in Gurugram has seen unprecedented growth, but this has also led to some projects being delayed or abandoned. Before you decide to buy property in any project, it’s essential to research the reputation of the developer.
Look into their past projects, the quality of construction, and the timelines they typically adhere to. You can check the developer's track record on websites like the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) portal for Haryana, which ensures transparency and accountability in the real estate sector.
Some reputed developers in Gurugram include DLF, Godrej Properties, Sobha, Tata Housing, and M3M. Projects from these developers tend to be more reliable, both in terms of delivery and construction quality. Also, interacting with existing residents or reading reviews about completed projects can offer valuable insights into the living experience and maintenance services.
3. Verify Legal Clearances and RERA Registration
When buying property in Gurugram, one of the most critical aspects is to ensure that the property has all the necessary legal clearances. Check whether the property is registered under RERA. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, all developers must register their projects with RERA, and it provides a platform for buyers to raise any issues related to the project.
Additionally, ensure that the property has the following approvals:
Land Title: The land should be free from legal disputes, and the title should be clear.
Building Plan Approval: Check whether the building plan has been approved by the local authorities.
Completion Certificate (for ready-to-move-in properties): This certifies that the construction complies with building norms and is ready for occupation.
Encumbrance Certificate: This certificate confirms that the property is free from any legal liabilities or loans.
Hiring a real estate lawyer to vet the documents is highly recommended to avoid any future legal complications.
4. Evaluate the Market Trends and Property Appreciation
Gurugram’s real estate market has had its ups and downs, and it's essential to keep an eye on current trends before making any decisions. Research the price trends in the area you're interested in. This will give you a sense of whether it's the right time to buy and how much appreciation you can expect in the coming years.
For instance, areas like Golf Course Road and Dwarka Expressway have witnessed steady price appreciation over the years due to the development of infrastructure and growing demand. On the other hand, newly developing sectors may offer lower prices, but their appreciation might take longer as the infrastructure catches up.
If you're buying property purely for investment purposes, you should look into the rental yields in the area, too. High-end locations tend to offer better rental returns, especially those close to business hubs, schools, and hospitals. However, real estate is a long-term investment, and the appreciation may take years, so it’s vital to have realistic expectations.
5. Factor in the Cost of Living and Amenities
The cost of living in Gurugram can vary significantly depending on the location. Premium areas like Golf Course Road and DLF Phase 5 are home to luxury apartments, upscale shopping malls, and fine dining restaurants, but they come with a hefty price tag. On the other hand, areas on the outskirts, like Sohna Road and New Gurugram, offer more affordable options but may not provide the same level of infrastructure or amenities.
Apart from the cost of the property itself, consider other expenses like maintenance fees, utility bills, property taxes, and transportation costs. Many new residential projects in Gurugram offer a wide range of amenities, such as swimming pools, gyms, children’s play areas, and community halls. While these features can enhance your living experience, they also contribute to higher maintenance fees.
6. Consider Future Infrastructure Development
Gurugram’s rapid urbanization means that new infrastructure projects are constantly in the pipeline. Future developments, such as new metro lines, flyovers, and the expansion of major highways, can have a substantial impact on the value of your property. For instance, the Dwarka Expressway project and the extension of the Delhi Metro network to new sectors are expected to boost property prices in those areas.
It’s worth researching planned infrastructure developments in your chosen area. A property located near an upcoming metro station or highway may be a more lucrative investment compared to a property in a less-connected area.
7. Choose Between Ready-to-Move-in vs. Under-Construction Properties
One major decision you'll need to make when buying property in Gurugram is whether to opt for a ready-to-move-in home or an under-construction property. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.
Ready-to-Move-in Properties: You can move in immediately, and there's no uncertainty about project completion. However, these properties are generally more expensive than under-construction ones.
Under-Construction Properties: These are typically priced lower than ready-to-move-in homes and may offer more payment flexibility. However, there’s always the risk of project delays, and you may have to wait several years before you can move in.
Make sure to carefully evaluate your budget, timeline, and risk appetite before making a decision.
8. Assess Safety and Security
Security is a key concern for most homebuyers, and Gurugram is no exception. Many residential complexes offer gated communities with 24/7 security services, CCTV surveillance, and access control systems. When visiting a property, check the security measures in place, especially if you’re buying a luxury property or if the location is in a relatively isolated part of the city.
Additionally, assess the overall safety of the neighborhood. You can get a sense of this by talking to current residents or visiting the area at different times of the day.
Conclusion
Buying property in Gurugram can be a great investment, but it’s important to do your homework before taking the plunge. Understanding the location, assessing the developer's reputation, ensuring legal compliance, and evaluating market trends are just some of the many steps involved. By considering these factors and taking a long-term view, you can make a smart, informed decision that suits both your financial goals and lifestyle needs.
Always remember to consult with real estate experts and legal advisors before making your final purchase decision. Happy house hunting!

How to Choose the Right Notary Public in Central London?
Finding a notary public in Central London can be a crucial decision when you need important documents authenticated or witnessed. With so many options, making the right choice ensures that your documents are legally binding, your experience is smooth, and your affairs remain in order. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the critical factors to consider when selecting the ideal notary public for your needs in Central London.
What is a Notary Public and Why You Need One?
A notary public is a qualified lawyer appointed by the Court of Faculties to authenticate, certify, and witness the signing of important legal documents. These professionals play a vital role in verifying the authenticity of documents for use abroad, administering oaths, and even preparing documents for transactions such as property sales, affidavits, and statutory declarations.
In Central London, the demand for notarial services is high due to the city’s diverse population and the wide variety of international transactions that take place daily. Therefore, selecting a reliable notary public who meets your requirements is key to avoiding unnecessary delays or legal complications.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Notary Public
1. Qualifications and Experience
When selecting a notary public, it's crucial to ensure that they possess the required qualifications and experience. A notary public must be an experienced solicitor and have undertaken additional training to qualify in this specialised area. Look for a professional with several years of experience in handling the type of documentation you require.
In particular, White Horse Notary Public in Central London is known for its extensive experience and expertise in providing notarial services for international businesses and individuals alike.
2. Specialisation in the Required Type of Documentation
Not every notary public deals with all types of documents. For instance, if you're handling international contracts, property transfers, or documents for overseas purposes, you'll want someone who specialises in these areas. Make sure the notary public has experience in the specific field related to your needs. Some notaries specialise in specific sectors such as real estate, corporate law, or immigration law.
White Horse Notary Public offers tailored services to meet various needs, including corporate notarisation, property agreements, and legalisation for embassy submissions, ensuring your documents are handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
3. Accessibility and Location
Central London is a vast area, and convenience should play a role in your decision. Opting for a notary public with a central office can save you time and provide easier access for quick notarisation services. Consider whether the notary public offers services such as mobile notarisation, which can be a game changer if you’re pressed for time or dealing with complex logistics.
Many professionals, such as White Horse Notary Public, provide flexible scheduling options, allowing you to set appointments at times that suit your busy schedule.
4. Range of Services Provided
A key consideration when choosing a notary public is the range of services offered. Beyond standard document witnessing, some notaries offer additional services such as legalisation, apostille services, and liaison with embassies or consulates for further authentication. This can be particularly useful when dealing with international contracts, cross-border legal documents, or foreign travel permissions.
For instance, White Horse Notary Public in Central London is known for offering a comprehensive suite of services, from document certification to complete apostille and legalisation services, ensuring your documents meet all legal requirements abroad.
5. Fees and Transparency
Notarial fees can vary significantly, depending on the complexity of the document and the time required for notarisation. It’s important to inquire about the fees upfront to avoid any hidden surprises. The best notary public firms are transparent about their charges, offering clear and competitive pricing structures.
At White Horse Notary Public, clients benefit from transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Whether you need a single document notarised or multiple documents processed for international legalisation, the fees are straightforward and affordable.
6. Turnaround Time
In many cases, notarisation is time-sensitive, especially if you need documents for travel, court submissions, or international business transactions. It’s essential to choose a notary public who can handle your request quickly and efficiently. Ask about the turnaround time, especially if additional services like apostille or legalisation are required.
A notary public like White Horse Notary Public in Central London, with an efficient system and strong partnerships with relevant authorities, can expedite the process, ensuring you meet all deadlines without compromising the accuracy of the service.
7. Client Reviews and Reputation
It’s always wise to research the reputation of a notary public before making a choice. Reviews from past clients can provide insights into the quality of service, professionalism, and reliability. Look for notaries with consistently positive reviews who have built a solid reputation in Central London’s legal community.
White Horse Notary Public enjoys a strong reputation for its professionalism, reliability, and customer-centric approach, making it a top choice for those seeking notarial services in Central London.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment with a Notary Public
Once you’ve chosen your notary public, it’s important to prepare properly to ensure a smooth process. Here are some essential steps to follow:
Bring Proper Identification: You will need to present valid government-issued identification, such as a passport or driver’s licence, to verify your identity.
Understand the Document Requirements: Make sure you have all necessary documents in the correct format before your appointment. If you’re unsure, consult the notary public beforehand to avoid delays.
Be Aware of Additional Requirements: Some documents may require witnesses, while others may need to be translated into another language. Confirm these details ahead of time to avoid any hiccups.
Conclusion
Choosing the right notary public in Central London requires careful consideration of several factors, including qualifications, experience, accessibility, and the range of services offered. White Horse Notary Public stands out as a trusted provider, offering a full spectrum of notarial services that are reliable, professional, and convenient for both individuals and businesses. With the right preparation and the right notary, your legal documents will be in safe hands, ensuring a seamless process.

What Does a Notary Lawyer Do?

Their role varies depending on the legal system, but generally, a notary lawyer does the following:
Document Authentication: They verify the authenticity of signatures on documents, ensuring that the signatories are who they claim to be and that they signed the document willingly. This is crucial for legal documents such as contracts, deeds, wills, and powers of attorney.

Advisory Role: Notary lawyers may also provide legal advice in certain areas, particularly those related to the documents they notarize.
International Transactions: For documents that will be used in another country, a notary lawyer might be required to authenticate the document to ensure it is recognized abroad. This often involves an additional step called "apostille" or "legalization."
The specific duties and powers of a notary lawyer can vary widely depending on the legal system in which they operate. In some countries, notaries are a separate profession from lawyers, while in others, they are specialized lawyers with additional training and qualifications.
