Moving To Canada

The course of one’s life can completely change depending on each decision one makes. Everybody has a main event or people who affect their life and change how they feel and react to the world. For me that event is moving to Canada. Moving to Canada has become the most important event in my life so far. One important difference I have noticed between Canada, and my place of birth, China is the culture. Since I experienced Chinese culture at home and when I lived in China, experiencing western culture in Canada has given me a broader and more open view of the world because now I have more than one perspective. However because I am Chinese when meet somebody in the street in Canada they normally think of me as Chinese but when I meet somebody in China they notice my differences and think of me as a foreigner. An example is that in Canada all of my friends refer to me as Chinese not Canadian and when I am in China my friends and relatives refer to me as Canadian. Western Culture also greatly affected my lifestyle and changed the video games I play, movies I watch and books I read. An example is that because I did not live in China for very long I have never read any of the great Classics in Chinese and can sometimes not even understand Chinese T.V. Every Country has their own unique culture and learning a different culture can greatly change a person’s life such as mine.
