The Differences Between Canada And Trinidad
Canada and Trinidad are both great places. Have you ever wondered what makes these two places so different? There are many reasons why they may be different, but I am choosing the differences that have affected me.
-
School
The biggest difference was the homework. In Trinidad, students got a lot of homework. Often I would have to stay up all night doing it. But in Canada, I realized that they seldomly give homework. This week, I only had one piece of Science homework to do. Another difference regarding the education system is the technology. In Trinidad, we didn’t have laptops or IPads, we only had our textbooks. Another difference is the clothing. We had to wear uniforms, and the school that I attend now doesn’t require uniforms. I always thought it would’ve been a good thing, but it isn’t as nice as it seems. You have to make sure you don’t wear the same thing every week, but not wear your new clothes right away or else they’ll become old too.

Activities
There wasn’t much to do in Trinidad. You could go to the movies, the mall, the zoo or even the beach. I would say there are way more things to in Calgary, there are hockey games, Calaway Park, The Stampede, Calgary Tower, corn mazes, Museums or you can go floating down Bow River.
-
Cuisine
There isn’t a huge difference regarding the cuisine. If anything, Trinidad has more international, flavourful food. Trinidad has a number of different foods, varying from Indian to African cuisine. In Canada, they have amazing food, but less food varieties and flavour. Usually, if you look down your street you would find at least one fast food restaurant.

Weather
This is by far, the most drastic change. There are only two seasons in Trinidad, rainy and dry season. For half of the year it rains while the other half it’s sunny. We tend to have lots of problems during the rainy season, like flooding. In Canada, there are four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. The season that affected me most was definitely Winter. I’ve never been to a place that is a literal refrigerator. I don’t mind the snow, I like it since I haven’t seen it before. I enjoy making snowballs and frolicking in the snow with my friends. Living in Canada isn’t bad, and it definitely is an upgrade compared to Trinidad.
