10 things that shocked me when I came to Canada as an international student from Kenya:

Thread/ 11
1. Winter is COLD. Well, some areas (e.g. in the West coast such as Vancouver) are relatively warmer. My first winter in #Lethbridge, Alberta, the temperature was -20'C. Hair in my nose was frozen. I wore long johns for the first time. ImageImage
2. School was cool: I was raised in an environment where power relations favor teachers over students. Schooling was teacher-centred. So, I was shocked to see students call professors by first names. Go to pub together.
