Two Countries, Two Ways of Life !!

Do you know how many differences between Canada and China?
The answer is countless. I believe that even different parts of one
country, there are many differences between them. As a
international student, I live in two different countries, I have thrown
over the lifestyle I’ve been used to in my parents’ home, and go my
own way. In other words, I have to get used to two different weather,
cultures, and lifestyle.

The weather in Canada and China has very big difference. In my
opinion, I think the most troublesome thing in Canada is just the
weather which is too cold and dry. So the down coat is necessary
for everyone. Because of the dry weather, each time I finish my
bath, the first thing I have to do is that rubbing some lotion on my
skin. In addition, the gale here really makes me crazy, it has tangled
my hair for many times. On the contrary, the weather in China is
very warm and wet. Even though it usually rains, this weather is
more suitable for me.

Every country has its own culture, especially Canada and China.
They are both large countries, moreover, Canada is a western country,
and then China is an eastern country. There is the entire Pacific Ocean
between these two nations. And therefore, the Canadian culture is
quite different from the Chinese. I’m going to talk about 3 points.
First, people in Canada are very nice, wheneverI need help there is
always someone who will lend me a hand. And they are also very polite,
even they do not know me, they would nod to me when they greet me.
However, people in China are not active. For example, when I am in
trouble, others would not help me forwardly unless I ask them for help.
So I think Canadians are nicer than Chinese, and they make me feel at
home. Second, Canadians always call each other’s name directly, even
the other side is elder. But in China, even though people who is only
1 year older than me, I have to call him older brother XX . The name
in Chinese culture is very important. Third, it’s very natural that people
dress up at some special festival in Canada. On the contrary,Chinese
people would think that behavior is ridiculous, even at Halloween.

Lifestyle, I think it is the closest thing for everyone. In my opinion,
different culture has a different way of life. Perhaps thepopulation
of Canada is not large, it cause the density of population in each city
is also not high. So the rhythm of life is comfortable. Opposite, in China,
especially in HongKong, everyone has pressure, the rhythm of life is
very fast. In one word, everyone is busy at every moment.

In conclusion, every country has its advantages and disadvantages.
Each person has his own thought toward life. For me, I still likemy
motherland best. China is the place where I born, it is just like my
mother.
