Newcomer's New Life

It has been one mouth since I came to Canada. After one month, I think I like my life here~

To be a newcomer, there were a lot of things that I didn’t know at first. However, many people helped me a lot. I still remember the first time when I was going to take C-train to UC, yet I had no coin pay for the ticket. It was an old lady who gave me $2.25 and told me how to buy a ticket. I had tried several times to exchange $5 to some coins from her, but she didn’t accept. We were talking about Calgary all the way. She told me that Calgary was a big city and the weather here was unbelievable. It is until now I can understand what she meant by unbelievable. In fact, it was her who gave me the first impression of the people in Calgary, which is friendliness!

When people try to describe the weather in Calgary, most of them use the word “cold”. Perhaps, the weather here is unbelievable, but the more unbelievable thing I feel is the people here, for many of them wear T-shirts in such the cold day! A few days before, on the way home, my friends and I were talking about the colder weather and what kind of warm clothes should we add, while a little boy, maybe 4 or 5 years old, who worn a T-shirt and a pair of shorts, was walking across us. We even couldn’t believe our eyes! It was at evening in the outside!

I’d like to know more about the people here and the way they live, which will make my life much more colorful. Looking forward to tomorrow~
