Re: Adapting to the new life in Canada
Not that bad, sometimes it is nice to get a breeze? It is not really a complaint!

Re: Adapting to the new life in Canada
Not really, the people in work are quite nice but don't appear to socialise a lot.
I came over a couple of months before my wife so took advantage to get to know the town centre's of Kitchener and Waterloo after dark, finding the odd watering hole. I met one Welsh guy once and that was all.
Got to slightly know one or two people but I find its difficult when your on your own.
My wife's been here 3 months now and we've been busy sorting things, we still haven't really got into the swing of things. She wants to find a fitness club (close as she doesn't drive) that does yoga.
Funnily enough though, she has started to make friends, she's Japanese and has found a few Japanese women in the area already.
So basically, I socialise when she takes me socialising

Hi Bunnet and PeterF
I'm in Waterloo too so I thought I would just say Hi and Welcome!
Hope you are all settling in OK.
