After I came to Canada, I found there are many differences between people in Prince George and people in Beijing. One such thing is about traffic. Beijing is one the biggest cities in the world, and it has a big terrible traffic problem even if there is a convenient website of subway under the ground. People feel crowd when they live in Beijing. They have to take a lot time to go to work and school. When you want to go out, you have to consider whether today is a good day to hanging out or you have to go out very early, in case you will meet traffic jam. We waste a lot of time on the road. By contrast, there aren’t any subways in Prince George because it is a small city, but the traffic in here is better than in Beijing. It would not take us much time to go out. Another difference between the two is eating habits. People in Beijing eat Chinese food every day, though there are lots of kinds of different foods such as western-style food, fast food and confection, but people who live in Prince George seem to eat fast food every day. When I live in my first home-stay, my home-stay mom give me sandwich as lunch every day and she does not like cook some healthy food. Finally, people in both cities have different attitudes for nature. As I see there are lots of forests around Prince George. It has mountains, rivers and lakes, so Prince George’s people are very close to nature so that they love nature and they are kind and friendly. However, it cannot happen in Beijing. There are a few of gardens and parks in Beijing except of those very famous parks, so the government in Beijing even doesn’t allow the citizen to walk on the grass. In sum, people in both cities have a lot of differences that are caused by discrepant culture, environment and government. By the way, I am happy to live here to study.
