Walis tambo in Canada

Walis Tambo
Walis tambo is soft broom commonly used in the Philippines. Walis literally means broom in English, tambo is a very local Filipino word I don't think there is a term for it in English.

Thick Broom
I never thought about walis tambo until I one day, as a typical housewife  would  do, is  to  find  a broom and start  cleaning. To my surprise  I found a broom I have never seen before. So  I reminded  myself that I am not in the Philippines anymore that some things  in there  aren't here so I thought I might get used  to using this broom .  For the  first 5 months  that I am here in Canada   I have been using  this thick  broom   to clean  our   tiled and hardwood  floors and I never got used to it and never was I satisfied with the way it cleans.  Good thing a friend of mine took me  to an Asian store and I was happy to find it. Happy to be able to find it but a bit shock on the price of it, but then that point I had to  remind myself again that I am in Canada.

  2. I am actually from Ontario. Winnipeg is far from where I am . I bought it in an Asian store in town called Belleville. I am new in Canada, I am still learning more about it and I am loving it.
