Been here (in the north) for four months. Made some fantastic friends which I'm so happy about, as I was terrified I was going to be the odd one out. Big culture shock- I grew up in California but for 14yrs have been living in the UK. Just wanted some tips and advice?

Hi LegoDragon-

Welcome to Canada! Where in the North are you? Glad you like it here :) I'm in Southern Ontario so not nearby unfortunately.

Cambridge Bay, Nunavut Hmm It's great and people are being lovely to me, but it's a bit of a culture shock. We stayed in southern Ontario with various friends- Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph Smile Canada's just so big!

Oh wow! I live in Hamilton. ..now I bet that was a culture shock for you Grin

My advice I suppose is to go out as much as possible before it gets cold as balls.
