Assignment #5: It's Really Cold (Part 2)

*In my last blog, I wrote about how it was like for the Europeans to come here to Canada and how they handled the extremely cold weather. In this Blog, I will write about my first Canadian winter and why I moved here.
*In the summer of 2006, a war started back home in Lebanon. It was very dangerous there so the Canadian government decided to bring in all the Canadians. My family was lucky enough to have Canadian passports, so we left to Canada.
*I think that my first Canadian winter felt like it was the coldest winter of my life. Even though the following winters were even colder, it still felt as if the first winter was the coldest because I wasn't used to cold winters, since Lebanese winters aren't that cold. The least temperature it ever went to in Lebanon in my life was probably -10, which is nothing compared to the temperature here. Lucky for us, my mom's cousin and aunt lived here for a long time and had a lot of experience in Canada's extremely cold weather. They taught us how to deal with the cold weather and also what to wear.
*That is it for assignment #5. I hope you enjoyed it.
