translate English to French: Yes, there was the competitive component, but I'd say that even more, there was the component of socializing and seeing what other people's lives were like and perhaps appreciating more what they have here in Canada.
Oui, il y avait le volet compétitif, mais je dirais encore plus, il y avait le volet d'échange et de voir ce que l'autre vivait et peut-être de mieux apprécier ce qu'ils ont ici au Canada.
