Living in Canada

  When I first came here in Calgary, I realized that Calgary is in stark contrast to Korea. Of course, the most different thing is language. While I speak Korean, people in Canada speak English; it was my challenge to learn English, and speak fluently. Language acqusition is the most important thing that I have to do here. The first time when I took the C-train, I was surprised that there were many races in there, therefore I knew that Canada is a multicultural society. Korea, however, is a single-race nation, therefore many Koreans look at foreigners interesting. It will be one of the biggest different things between Korea and Canada. Even thogh there are several different points between Korea and Canada, it is important to respect and accept different cultures and societies.
